I come from a family of musicians. My brothers played drums and one still plays guitar. very good actually. Lots of fun reading all this. Thrit good for you Joplin wow , what a singer she was. Love music have been to millions of concerts of great bands in my lifetime. But do have to admit i was a David cassidy fan when I was in 6ht grade. How does the song go: I think I love you so what I am so afraid of Im afrid that Im not sure of a love there is no cure for Lol, come along theres a song to be singing to make us happy, whole lot of singing is what well be doing come on get happy Honestly I did grow up and became a rock and roll fan. Althoug I must admit I had a country phase and one night in Lake Tahoe, as my brother held back the ushers, i ran on stage and gave willie nelson a kiss and got his cowboy hat.Crazy, but it was worth it, toooo much fun going down this memory lane.

I've had Ted Nugent's Double Live Gonzo on tape in my family van's tape deck for about three years now. When the radio fails me and I'm tried of the CD collection, and I'm ALONE in that hawt Ford Windstar cruising the Army base, I like to listen to the live version of "Motor City Madhouse"......
Yes indeed, baby!!
And with my son off to San Antonio for college, of course I had to bump his cultural knowledge a bit by allowing him to listen to "Baby, Please Don't Go" and the infamous "San Antonio!! SAN ANTONIO!!......." denouement.
Also listen to the MC5's live "Kick Out The Jams" and "Ramblin' Rose" for some down-and-dirty rock 'n roll from the archives.
SSMOM: so there's only one degree of separation between you and Randy Jackson, and two degrees, therefore, between you and Paula and you and Simon!! And.....yes.....three degrees between you and Sanjaya!

TR Hit, you and my husband would have a lot of memories to share. He's a NYC boy and among other things worked at the Filmore East, Woodstock and roadied for The Who, and met/partied with Frank Zappa, Janis Joplin, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and a few others. He's a musician and had a couple of local hits back in the day...he told me when he was in the states, he used his British accent to get the girls and when in Europe, made sure they knew he was from The City.
Like MN-Mom, my son's fall back plan is rock star He plays guitar, bass and is learning drums...also is a good singer/song writer. He has several songs that his friends and team mates request that he play for them.
One of these days, maybe he'll get his dream to hear his stuff on the radio...

"Ok, if I am relegated to the background, I insist that we wear white go-go boots. And I demand to use Slicker lip gloss, under or over or even alone."
You Go, Girl! I can absolutely picture you in the white go-go boots and Slicker lip gloss!
Hey, I play violin, guitar and piano...will any of that come in handy? Actually I don't play any of them all that well, but "close enough for rock-n-roll".

I've seen the picture posted before and never asked but is this actually Julie?

I can see it now,....the first ever HSBBW reunion with its own HSBBW band!
Bet I could talk MN-Mom, play baseball, and a few other gals into putting together a few 8 counts combined with some back-ground harmonizing. ( aka: eye candy )
Would that be too funny or what?
What would we name the band? Perhaps the HSBBW Bandits and Baseball Mom Babes ( Bullwinkle has in the past graciously called us moms that. - smart moose- that moose! Big Grin )
Do Ronnie and Joey post on this message board?

Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull? I thought he had a wooden leg? Surely, Julie can do better than that
Anderson had a wooden leg (Let's ask Woodster, he should know)? But he did that whole stand-on-on-leg-wiggle-the-other-about thing when he played the flute??? Actually, I was riffing on the violin thing. How many other rock n roll violinists are there?

No, no, I wasn't offering to wear the white go-go boots, I was quoting play baseball! I have had the pleasure of meeting her in person, and the boots definitely would fit her personality...fun, cute, and a "kick" to be around!
Although itsinthegame has tried to pass off the Royal Crown Cola young lady as being me, he was joking on that one...I think.

The picture of MN-Mom as the RC Cola representative is true.
MN-Mom also sang with Elvis - wearing the boots as well.
Here is the proof:
You go Mama - You go!
