weird. i recently spent two weeks in Italy with my girlfriend. on our first full day (sep 17), she fell and broke her wrist. only got the xrays confirming the fracture yesterday. yes, she's a trooper! and she's been told 6-8 weeks in a hard cast following surgery (next week). will probably keep...
not to mention his awesome bangs! inpired Chrissie Hynde's look forever! seriously, he was one of a kind. i saw him play way back in the early 70s, then saw him twice 30 or so years later. so many tones, so few effects boxes!
Ian Tyson recently passed away. As one half of Ian&Sylvia, he wrote a couple really great songs: "Four Strong WInds" and "Someday Soon".
