<p><p><p>Check. I'm in!</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Ha! It's me!</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Crab Man: thank you!</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Thanks! "The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please." Love the Replacements.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Hey man. Just finished band rehearsal (my new Kinks band - somehow got Peter Holsapple involved and he's on keys) and just seeing this. So glad we connected on here. Yeah, you're right. The kids look far older. I was trying to do the math and crazy how much they've grown. And Ned is SO much like Eddie, definitely. If you think you may come to the friends' gathering (it's now Saturday at 9pm at Dos Perros in Durham), let me know. I'll look for you. My email is jeffhoo1@gmail.com and cell is 919-286-7614.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Hey Chito, </p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Not sure if you'd heard, but I read that Eddie Watkins died sometime on Sunday. His son Ned posted this on his FB wall. Very saddened to hear this. Lucie looks to be about 16 now and Ned is probably 19 or so judging from how old they were when I played in that band with him. I remember you telling me you played in Dr. Powerful with him. Such a shock. Hope you are well in spite of this sad news.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>The suggestion of writing a song about the Duke incident is closer than you think. A few years earlier, I did write a song about the Mike Peterson trial involving the murder of his wife Kathleen. I've never played it live. Too topical, I think. But I did play it for some friends who followed the trial. Both that trial and the Duke Lacrosse one involved people I knew first hand. Very small town here.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Saw the OH reposting of "the dream" on Twitter. Thanks! I could not figure out how to keep it to 140 characters <img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png" alt=";)" srcset="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /></p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Thanks about the Twitter props!</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Thanks about that book. I detest the Yankees, but found the story really compelling. Had no idea this guy</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>(local musician) had a sports background. I'm probably gonna download it and I'll review it on that thread.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Have a happy new year, Murph!</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Thanks about the Lennon shirt and Strat! I was hoping no one would mistake my '63 O's "B" cap</p></p></p>

<p><p><p> for a Boston one. I've had my eye on that Rocky psycedelic Strat for a while. So gorgeous. </p></p></p>

<p><p><p> I need to get serious about getting one! I do have a Rosewood Tele like GH's.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Love it! We did watch that yesterday.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Thanks, Michael! Have a terrific day! Listen to some Dylan and The Band as I type this.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Saw your note about any promo items. Tried PMing earlier today, but I don't think I did it correctly as I now see no record of it in my sent file. I will be at Hangout Night on Aug. 15 if you are. Interesting in talking about this. Thanks. And my email is jeffhoo1@gmail.com if that's an easier way to chat about this. Been trying to get a gnome for my wife and she's been trying to get a Hawaiian shirt for me. Hope you're well.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Thanks, Scott! It came right at the right time for my young fandom. Thrilling. I still have the copy somewhere. I stumbled on this image on Google.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Thank you! Longtime lurker, have always loved this place.</p></p></p>
