I'm sure you'll not misinterpret my clicking Like. :)

 

I'm also sure he was awesome.

 

He played guitar and sang in a classic country band well into his 80's. We are talking Hank Williams country. 

 

They'd play a gig in the middle of nowhere and the place would be packed with Grandpa's and Grandma's just dancing up a storm.

 

There simply wasn't another band playing that material anywhere. They were one of a kind because of it...  Talent level didn't matter at all... They just got up and did it and made a whole bunch folks happy. 

 

I'd just watch them and think to myself... That's my Uncle and I just loved it. 

 

He came out and watched my band once... He says to me... You guys are too loud. I think you're good though... but you guys are too loud.  

 

I got to sing Cotton Fields with them once... It was a highlight for me... I was thinking that my Mom would have loved to have seen her brother and son on stage together.

The Twins kick off a brand new series with the Indians tonight. Rolling with a two game winning streak... The Twins face a team that smells funny right now. If you've ever been to Cleveland... Smellin

Hey All... 

 

Do me a favor and raise your glass (of whatever you are drinking... it's a cup of coffee for me). 

 

Raise your glass for my Uncle Harold. 

 

Lost him today. 

 

I am sorry to hear that my friend, and will drink in his honor when i eventually get home.

Heh.... WP.  Pelf figured out a way to get himself out of a jam.  Tho-- he has been heroic thus far.  But...  ah, well, it's Pelf.

Thanks All... I didn't intend to post bummer news on a happy game thread... It just happened an hour ago so it's on my mind.

Unique way to give up a run.

 

I'll give them a B for creativity.

That was some hit an' run, it was.

 

I also liked the end of the inning, with a strike home from Escobar!

 

Now we gotta figure out Kluber enough to get that run back...
