Roads scholar qualifications

ok – I’ve been out of touch for a long time, but I think I’d qualify for “road scholar” status -but is seems David maintains the power to bestow the title, so…..

I’ve seen Bruce play approximately 60 or possibly 70-some-odd times. I have seen him solo as well as with just about every configuration of his band (w/a guitar player, w/out a guitar player; w/Molo, Mike Baker, Land Richards, Bonnie Boneparte, and Sonny Emory on drums – w/the Big Dog and w/out the Big Dog, w/Debbie Henry and w/out her…. and I’ve seen him with the Grateful Dead, The Other Ones and the Sensative Ones; and sharing a stage with Bela Fleck, Bruce Springsteen, various members of his family (Bobby, Ann and RS); I’ve seen him indoors, outdoors and in festivals; I’ve danced on stage with throngs of people and by myself; and I have seen him play in ME, NH, VT, MA, CT, NY, NJ, VA, FL, WA, OR and CA. ( I don’t think I’ve left any states out.) While I’ve lived on both coasts during these times, I think I have flown across the country to catch shows at least once, but this was in conjunction with visits to family and/or friends.

During a time in my life when I had more time in my life, I used to review shows and give all kind of insights – things have become more hectic I have not reported much about the shows, but have danced my ass off every time.

I have met some truly amazing people through all this adventure and have made some wonderful friends. It’s been exuhausting, exhillarating, refreshing, and rejuvinating…. and worth ever mile, every gallon of gas and every penny.

…. thank you, and I hope I pass the audition….

I believe I have witnessed her do just that.

In fact, I’ve witnessed her get out of her car in NYC to yell at people.

The gdwoman and Carey both set the standard for road scholarship, in my humble opinion…!

(Actually, David, you’ll be familiar with the gdwoman. You’ll have seen her face – oooh, maybe hundreds of times!)

hmmm…..two handed independence on the dash…..??? I’d have to say most likely. I know I sing and drum like a fool on the steering wheel, dash and stick shift while I drive, so possibly that qualifies. Thanks for the vote of confidence, Si – (although I do not recall getting OUT of my car to yell at people on the street in NYC…. but I know I yell at them all the time while I’m singing and drumming with 2 handed independence behind the wheel!)

ps and btw – I will be in Atlanta for Sonny’s CD release party on June 23. There will be tickets available to this event – being held and the Fox Theater – not sure when they go on sale or any more details but I will surely let you know when I get the info from Sonny. David – since you live in Lake Lanier – that’s not too far away – maybe you will attend?

wow….

I’d like to officially thank David, Si, and Hornsbians everywhere for this very distiguised honour. I’d especially like to thank the brilliantly talented (and significantly smart-assed) Mr Hornsby himself – as, if not for his ability and penchant for making me dance with reckless abandon, it is doubtful that I would have been properly motivated to perform all the duties and activities required to earn this illustrius title.

….oh, I think I hear the music playing, I guess I’m supposed to end my thank you speech now…..

thank you very much. 😉

Hmm……….Now you got my curiosity up!

My guess……….The lady dancing at the end of Candy Mountain Run on Intersections DVD? :

Forget about tomorrow live for today
No guarantee I’ll make it anyway………

Rich – you are positively disqualified from being a road scholar, purely on the selfish grounds that you and I have yet to make it to the same show! 😆

I’m kidding… but I do hope to see you one of these years!

May be.

Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say he’s seen the side of her face? (or am I thinking of someone else?)
