It’s a Wednesday, on off-day and we are driving from Boulder to Kansas City, MO, right through the heart of Kansas on I-70, so I’m hard-pressed to come up with anything to write about. It’s an 8- or 9-hour drive and, based on my notebook, I’m pricing replacement RVs, so I guess the mechanic in Seattle didn’t solve all of our problems. Historically, it was the day of the 1990 NBA draft so I’m sure Jeff and Gary were following that news as the Celtics drafted Dee Brown.
Since I really have nothing for today, here’s a random list that I recently uncovered of all the songs we covered, live and in the studio from 6/1986-8/1990. Bill vocals unless otherwise noted:
1. Settin’ the Woods on Fire -Hank Williams (Steve)
