okay---backta planet earth. I got a sudden urge ta drive ta Arthur, Illinois to see this hot country cover band, where they are booked for one night only. Arthur is an Amish town about 280 miles from mee, so the nightclub prolly won't be too crowded. Anyway---admission(tickicks) are 20 bucks, which seems a lot, but hey---it may be worth it. (see photo). later in Sept, is when. Talk mee down from the ledge.

I think you should go for it! Twenty bucks is pretty cheap.

I'd really like to see that band, however--it's a 560-mile round-trip, mostly interstate through Zurra and Ill-Annoy. Playing bumper tag with 18 wheelers for about two months worth of mileage on my 18-year-old subcompact that I got from the wreckin' yard 8 years ago. Plus, there could be other expenses. So, I'll wait until they are booked for a show closer to where I live. Besides---i made an investment in precious metals, today, that used up some cash. A set of cylinder head cores, casting #14022601. A guy had 'em taking up space in his garage, and placed an ad on F-book Mkt place. I was thinking just the other day that if i should happen across a set for cheap, i better get 'em. Can't hardly find 'em at the wreckin' yard anymore; and then hafta pull 'em and pay their price. Nope.

okay---here's some old music i've been listening to on my phone: it's a group of youngsters playing a cover of a song their Grandparents might've listened to, when they were that age. They do a splendid job of: "The Logical Song" by Supertramp(1979). A note-for-note, very very excellent. The kids are The Graystones(or is it with an "e"?), from out there in NorCal. Some people disliked Supertramp, but I believe "Breakfast in America" the album, was a masterpiece! Along with some of of their other songs, like "Even in The Quietest Moments". But yeah---listen to the kids. Hope that helps you some. Thankk mee.

OK, the 560-mile roundtrip would definitely give me pause too. I like to wait for the band to come to me. We're going to a concert next week (Oteil and friends) at my favorite concert venue (The Cabot), which is only 14 miles away.
