scotz.........Wooooooohooooooooo! TY, TY, TY!!!! I ain't as crazy as they all say I am after all! (OK..shaddup! Nuther subject, I know!)

I was sitting alone at home about 5 months ago and I was watching VH1. They had a "Where Are They Now" thing on and I almost fainted. They were talking about Fanny and I couldn't believe it. I had almost forgotten about them.....(cept that I can't find the delete button in my brain so it was stored way back in the archives)..... I need you to do a verse or two from "Charity Ball" because as soon as I read that song title I started getting flashbacks of the concert. They opened the evening and they got a standing ovation. All the stuff in between is a blank cause as I stated I was only 12 and I was in awe and amazed at just what happens outside the little world of my neighborhood. I do believe that VH1 mentioned that one of the band members was related to someone more famous and it could have been Suzie Quatro but I am not sure......(This is why I need to delete some useless info. in my brain.....to make room to store more necessary stuff like this.......What do I need to remember the books of the old testament now for?.....LOL!)

As to The Guess Who...........I was right up front because as I said, I won tickets from a local radio station and they give out only the best tickets. If you have never seen the Spectrum in Philly, they have a baracade in front of the stage to prevent people from climbing up on it. It was a dance concert (outlawed now because of all the trampling deaths at concerts). Philly concert goers are fanatical! I saw Steven Tyler kick a guy square in the face to get him off his feedback amp once....but again, I digress. Yes......The Guess Who had 5 members in the band at the time. Maybe it was just before BTO. I never saw BTO but I did see Ten Years After and Mott the Hoople and David Bowie and Mick Ronson and Ian Hunter (together) and Aerosmith (10 times....Wooohoooo Eros!....We have that in common...Best concerts I have ever been to too!) and Black Sabbath (when Ozzy was originally with them) and Alice Cooper and Van Halen (David Lee Roth) and Jeff Beck and Frank Zappa (hated it) and Ozzfest 97 and oh.....I even got dragged to a Hall and Oates concert once (OMG, I must have ran out of drugs at that time!) and.......well....there are a lot more but back in those days it's lucky I can remember any of them, if you get my drift!

Anyway, so sorry this has run on and on but I could talk bout this stuff for hours! Oh........I already have...teehee! Lemme know scotz, if you remember any of the lyrics from "Charity Ball". Guess I could look um up on a site but this is much more fun and I don't get any pop-up ads here either........LOL! TY for airing the fact that you knew Fanny too.....I think most people that I have asked didn't want anyone to know how old they were or something???
