Now Vic, my ole buddy, friend and pal. Don’t get too “puffed up” over this. 😆
Let me point out that you are not a “Global Moderator”, but a “Global moderator”. 😆 I have all the faith in the world that one day you will be a “Global Moderator”! 😆

Lake Lanier, GADagnabit, David … What time do we meet?!?

The link is down to it, but it is located right across from campus walking distance to the venue.
Cafe Portofino
970 Rivers St

Get fired up!

Lake Lanier, GADD, Honey! Victor, Baby!!! And Ms. VAF, Sweetie!! And you, too, Jackie, Rumble and other esteemed SIBs, BIBs and BJs [Bruce -Junkies]…. I cannot begin to tell you how envious I am of y’all on this Bruce in the Boone-ies weekend.
Unlike other educators, I work twelve months a year and I usually work the hardest during July and early August. We usually run two Summer Programs simultaneously for Students with Disabilities. One program is for kids who are visually impaired and the other is for kids with PDD [the PC way of saying of Autism]. Once the dust settles, I usually discover how cool these kids are and quite often, how brave. My nightmare is that I would have a possible ‘Stephen Hawking’ genius and that I would be so shallowly concerned with the physical trappings that I would not get to the genius inside. Don’t feel badly for me, we usually have BIG fun…try cosmic bowling with blind kids…
Which brings me to my next point….Ms. VAF, I somewhat begrudgingly relinquish my position of, ahem, ball-handler to you. Vic, Baby, there’s a clause in the contract that, ahem, releases you. You, Darlin’, will be in good and grateful hands. Meanwhile, solo Bruce is almost equal to Bruce and the NoiseMakers. Bruuuce!!!!! appropriately, ‘dance with reckless abandon’ and tell us all about it.

PS… I just loved the Candy Mountains story and especially enjoyed the porn part…

You’ve done it before, just do what a Road Scholar would do!
It’s your calling! It’s your destiny! David Day
Lake Lanier, GAHey David,
I am planning to be there, in true road scholar form! I have a family obligation that afternoon, so it’ll be a challenge to arrive before showtime. I’m afraid my meal that evening will be consumed on “Cruise Control” , if you know what I mean.
How nice of you to remember, though. It will be good to see you and other Bruuuce folks there!Carey
David comes through once again with meetup plans! Way to go, David! Lola, sounds like you’re doing good work up there, so keep it up … but come to the Boone-ies if you can!
I’ll leave it up to MVF to take over for you! Carey, hope to catch up at intermission if not before! Whatever happened to Country Doctor? He still around?I might be a little late arriving — my girlfriend’s flying in from Colorado Friday night, so we’ll be driving-up on Saturday with a quick stop to visit family… This will be my girlfriend’s first-ever Bruuuce! show!!! I think she’ll be blown away. See you all then!
Vic

Looks like 4 of the 7 Road Scholars are going to be at Boone!
A great showing! Can anyone name all 7 Road Scholars?

Victor Alvis
Victor Alvis was born July 17, 1928, near Knoxville, Tenn. He has always been a music lover and, as a teen, often performed on the Cas Walker Radio Show as the Dobro and triangle player for the Poor Valley Boys, a regional bluegrass band that signed briefly to play on the Blu-Tunes label.
He served his country during the Korean War as a member of the 15th Field Artillery Regiment stationed near Taejon from Aug. 1950 through April 1953. He was honorably discharged and awarded the Purple Heart. Following his military service, Victor took up a career of 30+years in the newspaper industry, spending most of his years as an award-winning business journalist with the Chattanooga Free Press.
He returned to his musical roots upon retirement, tracking the rise of one Bruce Randall Hornsby from the early 80s. After the untimely death in 2004 of his beloved wife of 56 years, Beulah, Victor became an official “Bruce-head,” following the master of the ivories to performances throughout the Southeast.
He is an accomplished woodworker and enjoys TexMex dining and wearing well-tailored, three-piece suits.

Lake Lanier, GAPS Vic for President!

David: I’ll demonstrate my mad triangle skills for all the Scholars one day, but I will not be wearing one of my fine three-piece suits this weekend, since I’m roughing it at the Honey Bear. 😆
David, Honey…
Many thanks for the offer but I just can not go… and, I’m a tellin’ ya,it hurts me more than you’ll know. Despite all of my scheming, I can’t figure out a way to make it down and back and ‘ in a timely manner.’ Enjoy these concerts and the comraderie of the Road Scholars.
Bruuu-uuu-uuuce!
LolaBoone was a blast. Lola, you missed a good one. I just posted the set list and some other observations under the “Set Lists” banner.
David: Good to see you as always. You remain a Road Scholar and a gentleman. Sorry I lost you on the cell phone in the mountains. You’ll have to fill me in on the details later. Can’t wait to hear about Greensboro.
Carey: Hope you have a safe trip back to VA. Share some good photos with us if you can! You are the Scholar of Scholars.
MVF: What the Hell Happened?!? Didn’t see you or Country Doctor, for that matter. The crowd was great, though. A sellout for Bruce’s first appearance in Boone… “It only took me 21 years,” he said.
One highlight was getting two (and probably 3) requests played. It was the first time Bruce has played “Gulf of Mexico Fishin’ Boat Blues” solo. My arts & crafts projects paid off!
Thanks to Kendall for helping me.Vic
Awwwww, shoot! I was gonna buy all y’all a pitcher of beer/bottle of wine at the Cafe Portofino, but I got caught up in our garage sale, besides packing up house to move at the end of the month!
Hope you guys had a great time (I’m sure you did), and one of these years I’ll make it “back East” for a show!
We appreciate the thought, Allisa! You’re not moving out of beautiful Cd’A, are you?
David: I thought Bruce playing with his legs crossed in Boone was pretty funny considering your recent “Schroeder from Peanuts” dream sequence.
He looked a lot like Schroeder when he did that!Victor wrote:David: I thought Bruce playing with his legs crossed in Boone was pretty funny considering your recent “Schroeder from Peanuts” dream sequence. He looked a lot like Schroeder when he did that!I did think that also!
I must of had the solo shows on my mind when I had that dream. Bruce did play Candy Mountain Run! Sort of scary, isn’t it? 😮

I guess I’ll be there at about 6 p.m. unless somebody tells me otherwise…
