T&C Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I'll start/go with harmonica. I've been lucky to have seen War 3 times. Lee Oskar had no less than 8 harmonica's on his belt at any given time, he is a master at that instrument no doubt. Who do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took my son to see him after he came back from Iraq in 2010 - his comment " ridiculous" Just for fun: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Very cool, he was born right near where I work in Norristown PA, I know there's a park named in his honor, I should go check it out. I did that a couple weeks ago when I went in search of Bob Marley's Wilmington DE house, the house was a P.O.S. but there was a park directly across the street with a nice landmark sign 2 minutes ago, row_33 said: Weather Report both times in Montreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commend your quirks on historical siteseeing!

The Poojer Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) He lived here until he was 8 when they moved to florida. I geek out over stuff like that. Jim Croce's gravesite is close to where i live, Nancy Spungen's(of Sid & Nancy fame) grave is up in Bucks County. I have no life so if there's no new beer to track down, i try and check out the more obscure things on weekends and i stand corrected, Pastorius Park is not named for him, it was named for some german dude from the mid 1800's...who knew, but his childhood house still stands in Norristown 6 minutes ago, row_33 said: Did not know he was from there, from the excellent article in GQ i enclosed i recall he grew up in Florida??

Turns out if was a Union Soldier... The University of Buffalo was a good place as well as it surprisingly houses the works of some composers and writers or gave professorships to a few people of interest to me.

Uncle Joe Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Gotta give a shout out to Seasick Steve. Not sure is anyone else would attempt his instrument. Doesn't hurt to play with John Paul Jones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upon a second view, I am freaked out at how much Abby looks like my mother in her younger days. Lose the tats and the hillbilly duds, add a full mouth of teeth: That's what my momma used to look like. Tall, skinny, muscular, dark hair, green eyes, good lookin and smart as a whip.... Weird.
