Hendrix said the same thing about Roy Buchanan and Buddy Guy as well.

I wonder if The Big Texan restaurant is still there on I-40 in Amarillo? I stopped there several times to have a steak dinner on cross-country trips in the past - I never ordered the 72[[?) oz....

Bicycle Jim's and the Fleetwood Diner; damn great memories from my long agos.

Thank you Gazhekwe, I forgot the name of the store, as you could tell! I got my dog from Paws to Rescue, and yes it is an excellent store; hope to see you there sometime!

In regard to dog food, I used to frequent a pet food store on 14 Mile near Crooks until it closed a few months ago - After the store closed, they sold their customer list to another pet store in the...

Candidae or Earthborn Holistic - I like Candidae the best, but it's getting hard to find, except for a pet food store on Woodward in Birmingham, but they want a fortune for it - My last two dogs died...

Way cool Bigb23 - I saved it on my hard drive.

I wish I would've went with Jingles instead; the Boofland part makes it too long - I was at the state fair one time in the early '60s and won a box of Hollywood candy bars from Poopdeck Paul, I...

If you're a fan of silent films like me, try watching the 1925 version of Ben-Hur, starring Ramon Navarro, Francis X. Bushman. May McAvoy, and Betty Bronson; directed by Fred Niblo - The racing...

Speaking of ships, here's the five-master [[non-navy) my grandfather served aboard when he left Sweden at 16 in 1911 - When he finally got to the US after serving five years aboard this ship, and...

Yeah, but when you read about what he did that day and how he saved the lives of his fellow marines, and killing two enemy soldiers as well, it's understandable why the navy named a ship after him -...

I remember that now, it just got progressively worse and more dangerous to go there especially if you were a "hippy"; at least I had the "Grey" part right!

Hey Gash or anyone else: Was there something called "Greystone Mansion" somewhere around Detroit in the '60s? I seem to recall a place that was similar to Gar Wood; it might have been a biker...

I especially liked the fact that Martin Mayhew rejected KC's GM Scott Pioli's offer of a handshake to bury the hatchet sort of speak, in regard to the tampering charges, and then to go on and beat...

Excellent rules to live by, but I looked through the window anyway, and I liked what I saw, memories of the great times I had at Grande, Eastown, Gar Wood, Plum Street, The River Rouge Festival[[s),...

It would've been very cool to live at the Gar Wood Mansion - I only went there once, maybe twice, but I never forgot it, and what a story[[ies) to tell years later -
