    ah, that song
    ...always takes me back to that beautiful evening at the Rosehall. Told the story before - singing with those gentlemen was a highlight of my life. The tender smile on his face as I sang this one with him word-for-word is a treasured memory. He looked at me like I was his first-born baby-girl -- so, so sweet.

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?

Coffee is fresh and hot.... Train roll on, on down the line, Won't you please take me far away? Now I feel the wind blow outside my door, Means I'm, I'm leaving my woman at home. Before we know it...Tuesday's gone...with the wind... As much as I want Santa Clara and Chicage to come... I fear that time is slipping away....

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

Some hometown NHL action. So will the Bolts steal the face off Chicago? Jumped in for the presale Cup tickets over the weekend and had sticker shock. I'd need to see the Stones open the game for the price of those tickets.

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 !!! I don't have a dog in this fight but I have to admit...the Blackhawk's home sweater is the best in the business :-)

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.....

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!
