Let's do this first ..Post a video of the kind of music you listen to while in the shop, or driving to and from the races. Give us a bit of background about your choice, and whether it's changed, etc.
Let's do only one video per post, per day, and give people a chance to catch up.
Thanks

I'll go first.
Lately , I've been listening to my Pandora Americana station. (John Prine, Emmylou Harris, Old Crow Medicine Show, soundtrack from Oh Brother Where art Thou, etc.)
But, in the larger picture, this all stems from the Country Rock scene, starting in about 1968 with The Byrds, Sweetheart of the Rodeo album..The first country album by a major rock act. Then on to Poco, Acoustic Dead, Eagles, Linda Ronstadt , CSNY, Manassas, Michael Nesmith's First National Band, Firefall..recently the younger Alt-Country guys such as Son Volt, with a bit of rock , and a country twinge...

Here's The Bottle Rockets, from Indy...and they sound a bit like Crazy Horse to me..

Mark,
If we get back to live concerts someday, when these guys come to your area, go see them. We go every year, they pack every place they go, and they play the smaller venues. Its a awesome show. You wont be disappointed. Its like walking back in a 1980's album.....you can't beat it for 50 bucks

Tahoe normally has a really great outdoor venue every year. We have seen Paul Simon, James Taylor, Peter Frampton and Chris Stapleton with Steve Miller. But not this year, so with the move we will be back in SoCal and Fantasy Springs will have to do, we have seen CSN&Y and Heart there.

Eddie, Are you still in Smith? Are you going to Fallon this weekend?

Jeff, I'm usually not a big fan of cover bands, but I will do one for tomorrow's video

I left out a few in my earlier list of influences, so I will edit them in. I do like many other genres , so you might be surprised later on.

I hate cover bands too . Ok for your local bar, but that's about it. I was dragged to my first one. Wow, ...go see them

We have two weeks before closing, stuff is starting to get packed. Everything is up in the air. I know Bill O'Conner talked about going but that is all I have heard. Moving to the place were all the ole folks go...Palm Springs area i.e. Rancho Mirage.

I'm in Fernley at the moment, so I'll be there. Not a great spectator, but I've never been there, so why not?
Catch you down the road then...Be safe

It is going to be Fontana and Irwindale once the smoke clears. Try the Slanted Porch in Fallon for good food, it is on the 95 South. It will be great to be back with ole friends: Tony, Greg, Bill, John and Gary.

Glad to hear you're back, even if it's Geezerville. I decided last July after Summit to take a year off and get away from all this for a while.I might run the last two Irwindale Summit races and the Fontana divisional, then again, I might not. Depends what I feel like doing. At any rate, we'll meet at the 1000 foot seats at Pomona for the Finals. Winternationals was fun, but there's nothing like entering. This season was a wash out, anyway,so I guess I picked the right year to take off.
