Of all my friends, I see two on a yearly basis. I do not have the music to tie us together, wish I did, but it is still good.<br /><br />Yeah I tried the guitar once. Cheap $3 guitar, strings 1/2" off the frets, I had no idea how hard it was. I was a trumpet player. You use one hand the other just holds. You guys with the guitars make both hands do different things at the same time, my mind couldn't learn that. hahaha. And yes, we non players always want to hear 'ONE MORE".(smile) Good article.jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-64801167701417321412014-07-29T07:32:48.006-05:002014-07-29T07:32:48.006-05:00A great story and I hope that you two connect agai...A great story and I hope that you two connect again for old time sake. It's awesome to see someone after all the years like a high school reunion.

And it was the name of one of my favorite old Air Force buddies. I eventually chased down an email address for him and we made contact and are now in frequent contact via email.<br /><br />I'm sure you can relate to the joy and comfort in re-establishing that relationship. I felt extremely fortunate and lucky in finding him because there are a large number of folks my age who never warmed up to computers which are huge assets in locating old friends these days but those friends have to be connected to the technology.Alan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282804970305431949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-16147936314799047832014-07-28T22:51:28.996-05:002014-07-28T22:51:28.996-05:00I think you could be friends with ANYONE!!I think you could be friends with ANYONE!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-52432986311830057752014-07-28T21:56:06.656-05:002014-07-28T21:56:06.656-05:00This sounds like fun Rick...
