That is one of reasons the power company gives when they chop down 100 + year old trees up the street from me.

It's something I'd like to get into. There are actually several condemned/abandoned houses around here where I live. Urban Explorers Network

There is a porch roof sticking out from the building here where I live - with no posts supporting it. I am surprised it has never collapsed due to the weight of snow. Although, we have not really had much of a winter for a while, until recently.

Are you into urban exploration/abandoned places? I look at photos of that sort of thing about every Sunday on Flickr.

Interesting. I have seen photos of snowdrifts from that winter that were over 12 feet high.

Oh really. It does not snow in Southtown very often. How did the game work? What was the objective? Looting the Piggly Wiggly?

They don't do anything for me - DEATH TO FAKE METAL.

That's good to hear. I think Tracy was told it would be until at least Tuesday. Those dudes must be working around the clock.

I'd get them all - and if you do, make sure you get the re-masters.

I thought so.

What's the difference between them and Buckcherry?

I have to say that song Triad (it's on the Notorious Byrd Brothers re-issue) is a piece of junk - but I like the music. It could be that I am just to use to hearing the Jefferson Airplane version.

Good for you. Yes, they are more than nice to their fans. I had to wait ten years to see them for the first time.

That was the first re-master I bought. I have always been rather fond of What's Happening?!?! The rhythm guitar in that song is pretty cool. I have often wanted to jump into that scene in Easy Rider when Wasn't Born To Follow is playing.

I was 11/12 years old at the time. As I recall, we had a bunch of days off from school.

I have met them all - yes. I don't recall ever meeting any of the dudes before a show - except for one time. And that was due to a Quantum Leap type moment. I would wait till after the show - but that's me.

Now, I am thinking of the winter of 1977-78.

A friend of mine - who is about your age - always says he has a hard time with the latter stuff. To him, The Byrds, are Turn, Turn, Turn/Eight Miles High, not You Ain't Going Nowhere or whatever. I have never looked at it that way, but I suppose, if I had actually been of age then, I could see how the change(s) would have been hard to get use to. A bit like what some of us go through today I suppose - with bands we are into.

If possible - find out where the bus is, and go hang around there after the show. At least, that is what I have done in the past.

I am playing all the Byrds cds today - still some of the best re-master/re-issue cds I have ever bought: Mr. Tambourine Man Turn! Turn! Turn! Fifth Dimension Younger than Yesterday Notorious Byrd Brothers Sweetheart of the Rodeo Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde Ballad of Easy Rider (Untitled) Byrdmaniax Farther Along Byrds also - Live at the Fillmore - February 1969 The Preflyte Sessions

I have some photos from that week. The thing I recall the most is that I was in school at the time, and we had a week off. That had not happened before, and it certainly, has not happened since. Although - we did have two days off sometime in the early part of this decade due to a snowstorm. We have not really had much winter here for the past few years - this year, however, we are getting it. Storm of the Century - 1993 North American blizzard - 1996

A couple of years ago, here I live, we had an ice storm and some people did not have power for a month or so. I have only experienced that once - summer before last. Although, back in the early 90s (I can never recall what year), we had a week long blizzard - and there was talk that the power company was going to do a rolling blackout deal - due to the strain on the system.
