JackieLong time ago, way back when…..
I was an officer in the organization that was responsible for student programming at the University of Georgia. Since I was responsible for making sure the bands got paid and contract compliance, I was always able to get backstage passes for all the concerts.
We had the likes of Elton John (Sir Elton?), Billy Joel, Greg Allman, and Leon Russell while there. My fraternity house was only two blocks from the venue and we had a baby grand piano in our lodge. Whenever a keyboard player would come to UGA, I would invite them over after the show to play. Leon accepted!
I cannot describe that experience! It was incredible! To hear the longest rendition of “Delta Lady” amongst others in your living room is a once in life time thing!
Leon played for almost two hours! He was a very nice man! His manager was having a good time and let Leon do what he wanted. It was very cool! I even drove Leon and his manager back to their hotel! (I was only 19 at the time!)
The next week, Leon’s manager called me and thanked me for “a good ole fashion good time”. Said Leon loved UGA and being able to come after the show to play!

Jackie, it just doesn’t get any better than peach cobbler!
Especially with ice cream melting on top!
Does it? Next meet-up in your area, you will have to bring some! I’ll tell you what I’ll do. My very next post will be my Leon story.
I think you and Amy will enjoy it! I’ll try to get back tomorrow night.
In the mean time, have you had your “daily dose” of “Stacked Mary Possum” today? 😆

Maybe, just maybe, you need some “Stacked Mary Possum”!
Check it out! Listen to it! Now, how do you feel? 😆David Day
Lake Lanier, GAIf you save it to your “desk top” as your “target”, it will always be on you “desk top” menu. That way Bruce can wake you up in the morning and put you to sleep at night!

Lake Lanier, GArdiakun wrote:PS: Here’s an odd little trivia question that helps fill in yet another line in the “6 Degrees” game if you were trying to connect Bruce Hornsby with The Beatles…. What was the hit record that was recorded on Apple Records (owned by The Beatles) which featured a fairly prominent piano part and solo played by guest-artist Leon Russell? It was a studio recording, so you can’t throw in the Bangladesh concert recordings! For those of you who were regular listeners to top 40 radio in the early ’70s, you’ve probably heard this piano part thousands of times and might not have ever thought it was Leon Russell (of course, who knew it was him on The Monster Mash?). OK… start them guesses…Jumpin’ Jack Flash it’s a gas, gas, gas! 😆
Oh no! Wrong group! 😆 😆

Lake Lanier, GAI think we should nominate Allisa “Stalker of the Year”! 😆 😆 😆
Now that we know what kind of “property records” she reviews each day, it’s only natural she get the title of “Bruce Stalker;)! 😆 😆 😆
What do you think?

Lake Lanier, GAPS Luv you too! 😉

Did someone say Candy Mountain Run!!
Now we’re getting somewhere!
What does Candy Mountain Run and Camp Meeting have in common??Come on guys (aka common mon)! This should be an easy one for you. Even Rich or Vic can get the answer to this one! 😆
I will give you a hint……Take a step back and look at the big picture! 😆 Don’t make it more complicated than it is! 😆
David Day
Lake Lanier, GAI saw the pic! Thanks for posting it! 😆
Bruce’s hoops are adjustable and in concrete. I wonder if Bruce has to adjust it down now like I have to do to slam dunk it? 😆 Looks like it is set “down” a little! 😆
It’s hell getting old! 😆

As a trivia question, who was the band that did “Going Down” back in the 70’s?
I still need some more begging for my Leon story! 😆
I also have a story about the band that is the answer to the trivia question!

One last question…..Can you tell whether Bruce’s hoops are fixed or are they “adjustable”? Can you tell if Bruce can lower the basket to be able to “stuff it”? 😆 😆 😆

I guess that I probably would have done the same thing that you did. My brain would have said that if he didn’t want to be bothered, he would have been hanging out in a public place. But I would have ended up respecting his privacy and left him alone unless he looked up and then I might have said “hi”. I am sure that he would have enjoyed talking to a true road scholar like yourself.Thanks Larry for your “vote of confidence”.
Don’t get me wrong! There would be many things I would want to ask Bruce. I was torn in many directions. 😮 😯
If I was invited over, I would have jumped all over that!
But, since I wasn’t, a true Road Scholar would let Bruce read his Sunday paper!
So I did!
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! 😆
