    Did you ever have to make up your mindPick up on one and leave the other behind It's not often easy and not often kind Did you ever have to make up your mind Did you ever have to finally decide Say yes to one and let the other one ride There's so many changes and tears you must hide Did you ever have to finally decide Sometimes there's one with big blue eyes, cute as a bunny With hair down to here, and plenty of money And just when you think she's that one in the world You heart gets stolen by some mousey little girl And then you know you'd better make up your mind... Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her And then you get distracted by her older sister When in walks her father and takes you a line And says, "You better go home, son, and make up your mind" And then you bet you'd better finally decide... So many choices so little time..... ....all night long!!!!!!

    Roll Me Away Took a look down a westbound road, right away I made my choice Headed out to my big two-wheeler, I was tired of my own voice Took a bead on the northern plains and just rolled that power on Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City stopped in a bar to have a brew Met a girl and we had a few drinks and I told her what I'd decided to do She looked out the window a long long moment then she looked into my eyes She didn't have to say a thing, I knew what she was thinkin' Roll, roll me away, won't you roll me away tonight I too am lost, I feel double-crossed and I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right We never even said a word, we just walked out and got on that bike And we rolled And we rolled clean out of sight We rolled across the high plains Deep into the mountains Felt so good to me Finally feelin' free Somewhere along a high road The air began to turn cold She said she missed her home I headed on alone Stood alone on a mountain top, starin' out at the Great Divide I could go east, I could go west, it was all up to me to decide Just then I saw a young hawk flyin' and my soul began to rise And pretty soon My heart was singin' Roll, roll me away, I'm gonna roll me away tonight Gotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin', keep searchin' till I find what's right And as the sunset faded I spoke to the faintest first starlight And I said next time Next time We'll get it right

    Time to leave San Antone..on a midnight train. I've seen the bright lights of Memphis And the Commodore Hotel And underneath a street lamp, I met a southern belle Oh she took me to the river, where she cast her spell And in that southern moonlight, she sang this song so well If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland We made all the hotspots, my money flowed like wine Then the low-down southern whiskey, yea, began to fog my mind And I don't remember church bells, or the money i put down On the white picket fence and boardwalk On the house at the end of town Oh but boy do i remember the strain of her refrain And the nights we spent together And the way she called my name If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland Many years since she ran away Yes that guitar player sure could play She always liked to sing along She always handy with a song But then one night at the lobby of the Commodore Hotel I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well And as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song And all the boys there, at the bar, began to sing along If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland, Down in Dixieland

Excellent suggestion. rrrrrgrrrrr can be our coordinator to lead the GD50 2nd set mmm bop-bopping with hand signals. Add "practicing mmm-bop-bop sign language" to your to-do list. Alternatively, just using "coming in for landing" and "prepare for take-off" hand signals can be used and will be universally understood by everyone.

I sure they wont let me have one but I wanted to make sure. Can we take a go pro into the concerts ? It says no video . no camera with longer than 6 inches , again your safe totem ,. they also say no item will be saved which is taken from us. I really wanted to film the crowd , and the party but of course also do not want to have to rush to hotel to get rid of items . What are your ideas?

If the security checkpoints are anything like the NFL (at least in Buffalo), it will be very difficult getting any cameras in that exceed specs...a good quality lens on a cell phone is another story. Have a good day, grab some coffee for the road....king

Steve - Rich nailed it...I wouldn't risk them snatching your GoPro. Bet the bank you'll walk through a metal detector and if it were me, I'd just use the video capabilities of your iPhone - it shoots in amazing HD. Kyle - your 2nd cup chance in 10 years. There are cities that wait a lifetime. No better live sport, bro, so if you get a chance, I'd get your but in the building - amazing fun !!!

Steal this face? The headline looks like speed vs. experience. Feeling confident? Bet you an over-priced beer at Soldier Field the Hawks prevail. Either way it's going to be great entertainment. Fever is running high here. Chicagoans love their Hawks. Sweaters, Ts, Caps everywhere. It's a great time of the year. Ticket prices for the finals at the United Center make FTW look like a bargain.

One possibility may be to hook up with a taper. The security guys rarely can tell a go pro from a tape deck, preamp, ADC etc. I will most likely be bringing some of my gear but I will give it to someone with a taper ticket if I can't swing a taper ticket myself. Missing Jerry today, but looking forward to Trey.....

Give me a song-a About a son-a gun that went and done her wrong-a. But keep it clean-a, With a cottage small-a by a waterfall-a, Any sob-a that will throb-a to a bluebird's call-a, I love, I love to sing! I was born a singin' fool-a, Lah-de-dah! Ol' Major Bowes is gonna spot me, Got through Yale with boula-boula, Lah-de-dah! Old microphone's got me! I love to sing-a, I love to wake up with the south-a in my mouth-a, And wave a flag-a, With a cheer for Uncle Sammy and another for my mammy, I love to sing! The swingin'est, Hot singin'est, Bell-ringin'est, Song singin'est High tootin'est, Sky tootin'est, I love to sing!
