Live Chicago Blues at its best:

Keith's guitar is perfect - Right there but not taking over :notworthy:

A toss up between the blonde fourth from the right and the oriental on far right. Blonde fourth from the left with shades looks fun too.

Billy's prog last night was a goodie :happy2:

Having watched the third episode tonight I just had to have a proper listen of Lynrd Skynrd's "Free Bird" which Billy had a taster of, so off I went to YouTube and came across this:

The thing is that I was backstage there all day and night! A long story but they were supporting The Rolling Stones and that's how I came to be there - A weekend I'll never forget which started with a phone call I had at around 10am while still in bed. A couple of hours later I found myself backstage as these guys were playing this song. I haven't managed to spot myself in this vid though. Makes me wanna wear my hair loose again.

How long do you reckon it would take to export the GTi to the US :evilgrin:

Post by: markymark on September 30, 2011, 09:36:09 am: I desperately need to get back out to the US, Monument Valley is one place I have yet to visit and it looks amazing! The Grand Canyon was breathtaking enough but now I really need to see this!
Im loving this series, Billy is great! :happy2:

If you ever do visit Monument Valley, Marky, make sure it's either at dawn or sunset to enjoy it the most. It's a while since I've been but it has a special place in my heart. One pic I took of many pre-digital:

^ Can you spot the car? That gives you an idea of the scale of the place.

Btw, don't take photos of injuns unless invited to or you get to know them - It's just a respect thing. How would you like it if a bunch of tourists were all over your lands taking pics of you, many tourists are very rude and condescending.
