Have any short stories related to experiences over the years related to your music?
I remember about 3 or 4 days ago, winter of 1975 I think. This is back when I was doing the road band thing. We were on our way back from doing a gig in Detroit travelling along I94 in our trusty ole school bus that had been converted to a luxury motor home for travelling
( I think we had left six seats in it, the rest of the space was used for equipment, nothing was small back then) Anyway, it's like 4AM with very little traffic and the bus just sputters and die's. The battery had fallen over and lost most of the acid. So it's cold, it's dark, and AAA was nowhere in sight. We righted the battery and used empty beer bottles(we were sure lucky to have those empty beer bottles along, not sure where they came from) to retrieve water from puddles that were in the median of the expressway. We finally got the battery refilled and luckily we were facing down a hill so it didn't take a lot of pushing to get the bus started again. It sure must have been a sight to cars driving by to see those long haired guys running around in stage cloths with the beer bottles at 4AM. I'm sure we sparked some conversations and I'm sure if the State Police would have happened by we would have had some explaining to do.
