Upon Further Review.......

Rick B = hipster    Sorry
Rick B = washed up  Possible, but can still handicap !

U want washed up ?
Go a few blocks west from your house to some of my old Cicero & Berwyn haunts.
I guarantee some of the same bar stools are occupied by the same asses since I left there in 89 !!!!

What weekend are you Saratoga bound this year ?

P-Dub,

You are OBVIOUSLY not an equal opportunity critic.  After reading this chain, it is very clear to me that Rich Curtis is the one who is truly deserving of being \"Jerry\'s Boy\".

From now on, I would prefer that you refer to me as \"Allan\'s boy\", instead.

Thanks,

Jim

Hah! Should have said \"former\" hipster. I used to have hair down past my shoulders, went to hundreds of live shows and clubs, burned the candle at both ends every day for years on end with the music cranked to 11 and had to peek out the curtains in the morning to see if the car found its way home (again). Don\'t let my current state of disrepair fool you -- I was actually somewhat \"cool\" once.

Shooting for the 2nd week of August for Saratoga. Lots of our regular crew are backing out this year. Nobody wants to say it, but the economy has a fair number of folks pretty nervous...and for damned good reasons.

That\'s like according teacher\'s pet status to Holden Caufield or Ferris Bueller.

Thank goodness it\'s off! I\'m the one who would really have had to study, as I spent most of Springsteen\'s career driving in smoke filled foreign cars listening to \"Live at the Fillmore East\".

If it ever comes to pass I\'ll lean heavy on Rick B, Caradoc and Jack, who could write much better questions, I\'m sure. They\'d probably know the answers, too!

Jimbo:

As someone who has watched and listened to you ride TGAB like a rented mule the
past couple of years at the seminar, I would say that \"Allan\'s Boy\" hardly seems
appropriate.

You have tremendous good taste there, my friend -- the lore is that was by far Dickie Betts finest performance, ever.

Here\'s a bunny rabbit for you:

Inspired by the performance from the above-mentioned live recording, Rolling Stone in 2007 named this song one of the Top 50 Songs Over Seven Minutes Long.

Can you name it?

 You have no chance, Jimbo, because I\'m angling for that role too, and I know how to spell Alan\'s name.

Given what I\'m figuring is a \"Betts\" hint, I\'ll guess \"In Memory of Elizabeth Reed\". He was great, but I was always partial to Duane\'s playing.

Ditto that one.  It was hard to get much better than when he and Clapton got together.

[jimbo66]

Well, fair point Richiebee.

But in my defense, TGAB has been \"living off\" that 47-1 shot he gave out 4 summers ago in the seminar.  (which everybody at the seminar but yours truly used)

In this \"what have you done for me lately world\", TGAB is \"overdue\" for a seminar with a bunch of winners.....

Jim

[TGAB]

Thank you, Richiebee.

I knew I\'d hear about the 47-1 shot. I was put on notice last summer that the bank had run dry of the currency that mention generated. Obviously 4-1 shots only raise the water level big-toe high.

But that raises an analysis point to reiterate--I mentioned that horse (I forget the name) kind of as an afterthought. The context was that I liked the horse, pattern-wise, in its previous run and it didn\'t run and I\'d noticed that these types (positive current patterns that misfired) not infrequently run the race I thought they\'d run, one race later and this might be such a horse. It was worth a few bucks at a good price.  

The moral is that if you identify horses with positive patterns and they misfire, put them in Thoro-Track, and at least take a look at them next time around. You might get your money back and then some.

On another note, \"In Memory of Elizabeth Reed\" hits me right in my youdt as cousin Vinny would say. I used to look askance at my mom when she recollected about Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald. Old. But Liz there is 40 years plus, now. Phew. Still great, though.

[TGAB]

Yes, Rich my name is spelled Alan and I appreciate that you got it right. And let me say unabashedly, like the government representatives on Capitol Hill I can be lobbied.

Not to be snobbish, but the Allman Brothers Band catalog has stood up quite well to the test of time -- much better than anything from Nelson Eddy, needless to say -- and is *still* picking up new fans 40+ years later. That is STRONG...damn near Beatles / Elvis strong. Think about it.
 
Number 2 son (age 24, full-time chef, part-time guitar player) heard Elizabeth Reed for the first time a few weeks ago in my car and said, \"Who the hell is this?\"...then called me later that night and played what he had noodled out on my PRS Santana (now his -- I never could play the damn thing) via phone. \"I can\'t believe I\'ve never heard this before\", he said.  

(Yeah, Bob, because you have a rotten father. Luckily, you have your mom\'s fingers, instead of my stumpy sausages...and a good ear.)

[jimbo66]

Rich,

I thought you were making a good case for race shapes.

However, I thought you were a wee bit \"over the top\" when you suggested we rebrand U.S. paper currency with \"in race shapes we trust\" instead of \"in God we trust\".

Just my view...
