Anything from Seger would have me dancing in the aisle. Him and Skynard were the big men on campus when I was living in the dorm at University of Maine................sooooooo long ago!
How true that it's easier to appreciate now what before we were to busy to stop and take notice of. I walked outside the other day after it rained and it smelled SO GOOD!!! I wouldn't have noticed it a couple years ago.
SCC Left Mandible. Jaw replaced with bone from leg. Neck disection, 37 radiation treatments. Recurrence 8-28-07, stage 2, tongue. One third of tongue removed 10-4-07. 5-23-08 chemo started for tumor behind swallowing passage, Our good friend and much loved OCF member Minnie has been lost to the disease (RIP 10-29-08). We will all miss her greatly.

Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,606 Likes: 2 | Yep, that would have had me shuffling the feet at least. I really liked the song Back in 72 before he was with the Silver Bullet Band. Minnie, I am so sorry I never pictured you as a Seger or Skynard fan.  I remember seeing Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels and Lynyrd Skynyrd the same week. It just about broke the bank for me but it was before Ronnie Van Zandt bit the bullet. Eric Clapton is planning on a great show here to promote his Antigua drug place, The Crossroads. I bought the tickets just before my 6 month scan, just in case! Check out who all is going to be there: Johnny A Jeff
