Years ago I meet "Seattle Nice Guy" And another guy buy name of Arie was his real name he was from Spokane Wa. USA. It was good to meetup with them and talk about old times and why we left. One of the bad things about Arie is he moved to Hawaii and took his life. I still like to meet someone on this forum that is near me. (western Wa state) I think it would be great to meetup with someone in my area. I know there is a campout in California but thats to far for me to travel. -

When I get that memorial invitation in the door, it sends chills up my spine. The way I was treated with hurtful gossip. Now I just spit on it and throw it away. That has been 24 years now since i gone. -

In the mid 60s I loved to listen to Led zep. I played whole lot of love so loud my parents can hear it down the street. Wow they broke the record. My folks listened to lawrence welk music. I always thought when I get old I will hate rock and roll and love lawrence welk. Guess what I am old and still like rock. I play it loud in my Jeep and at home. My kids think am a cool dad at 65.
So Jeff T I did a search for King Crimson on DEEZER music service, I found it.
That brought back memories
Just to add I hated when there was a "sister" who said not to listen to Carlos Santana because "Santana" means Satin. So sick
