    Rocket

  • I remember when I was living in Ottawa last August and how bloody hot it was and how it cooled later that month at the Kristofferson concert at the Folk Festival in Ottawa. I felt bad for the guy, frozen up on the stage with the bitter wind hitting him as he continuously pulled out his handkerchief to tipe his nose. He stated "imagine paying all that money watching an old fart wipe himself".

  • Hey another Ottawa Lad..Right on. Yes Kris Kristofferson is such a talened and cool guy..a legend in my eyes. Thanks for relating that cool Kris story..Thanks Ottawafella : )

  • Hey Rocket its really hot here to. I didn't recognize that album that you showed but it reminded me of the great album collection I used to have many moons ago. The good old days of vinyl. One thing I still do have are some 45's but no player to play them. May be the star wars theme has increased in value. Take care Rocket and have a wonderful summer!

  • Hey thanks very much Sis I really appreciate you stopping by. lol I must say I miss the days of vinyl, I still have some 45's also (Can't bring myself to throw them out) All my best to you Sis and you have a wonderful summer too : )

  • Good to see you in such fine shape there lad. It warms my heart to see another of your videos. Keep 'em coming..... as for me well don't know when I'll do another video I'm too busy at the store to do much else.... quite a change.

  • Thanks Steve I know what it's like to be busy. If I can get one video on a month I am lucky. I have mixed feelings about what you said. On one hand I'm haPPY that the store is doing well, on the other hand I miss your great music. I hope you find the time for another video in the near future : )

    Rob

  • "Looking forward to Blackbird Bro. It's one of my favorite songs. I'm glad you got your voice back my friend."

    Alright RocketBro my good friend! Mixer & digital recorder worked great... but you'll see on the first two tries how it's incompatible with YouTube's standard -- then came a couple of saviours named ModernOracle & IRTheBorg! We are now officially in stereo forever! :)

  • epic video.

    two trees fighting over a dog! this proves that canadians are the number one authorities on weather, not just cold weather.

  • lol thanks RoughAndReady, Yes I must say that us Canadians are experts on weather and also beer drinking..Hey bro It's been over two months since your last song?...I'm looking for another video : )

Always look forward to your videos, you have a great sense of humor and your music goes good with Coors Light and a cigg! Peace brother!

    Big R
