    Default Little Things That Remind You of Other Borderers

    I don't know about everybody else but just like I often see little things that remind me of the Eagles, I often see things that remind me of my fellow Borderers.

    First, everytime go into a gas station or stop by Sonic, the big 44oz drinks always reminds me of Lou. When she was here in Oklahoma a few months ago, she couldn't believe how big our drinks can be here in the states. From what I understand, our size medium drinks here in the states is like a large in England.

    I was driving to a town in northern Oklahoma recently and saw a sign for Wichita reminding me of Mike.

    Recently I saw a mention of the Sweet on TV. I immediately thought, "Oh, the band Willie loves so much!"

    Thank you Soda.

    And like I said a few days ago, everytime I hear a Bruce song, I think of Eva and same with Mac, it's always Soda.

    LOL about the 44oz drinks, Jess! Ah, good times.

    I was listening to Cat Stevens the other day & I thought about Cathy and how she drools over young Cat! I also saw the initials GA at work today, which reminded me of Lisa.

    Oh, and I went past a pub the other day, named the King Rufus, which reminded me of Willie's new pup.

    When I was at the Hard Rock Orlando, I went to the restroom and had to walk past the Fleetwood Mac and Led Zepplin tributes. I thought of Nancy and Willie. I studied the items for a while thinking, I wish I had my camera so I could share this w/the girls... Also, saw some Pink Floyd and Hendrix items and thought of Mike. Hard to be in a place of music and not think about the Borderers.

    Strange that this topic shows up the day after I had this same thing happen...thinking of one of you Borderers spontaneously:

    When something I hear sticks in my head, it is inevitable that I pick up a guitar and see if I can pick it out. Usually it is my Epiphone Sheraton II. I was working on the vocal mimic of Robert Plant in Blackdog and needed to bend a note up two frets to get a "slur" that sounded somewhat like the part Plant sings. That bend can be heard at the end of the clip in my Sig below.

    When I made that bend, I thought of Ticky and "Eff chords". So much easier on a long scale electric guitar's neck.

    Oh, saw "Saving Grace" last night and Jess popped into mind!

    We've got quite a diversified group of Music Fans here!

    That's the truth, Mike!

    And I must say I am delighted to know that I have the honor of being associated with Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks 'round here!

    *G* Thanks Mike.. I think I found a form of the F chord that works for me but I do avoid those durned barr chords like the plague. I need beefy strong fingers and hands like Joes... *G* (Pause for a moment of appreciation of Joe's hands...) WHEW...

    I gotta tell ya'll, there are so many times during the day Im reminded of someone here and I often refer to people I've met here during my daily conversations with others, it's hard to pinpoint just one or two, but Im keeping my eyes and ears open *G*

    I'm the same way Ticky. I'm not good at remembering a particular moment, but I'm always telling Hubby or coworkers something about the Border or a Borderer!

    And I dream I'm on vacation 'Cause I like the way that sounds,
    It's a perfect occupation for me.
