I went down there one year (prolly 4 or 5 years) ago.
Pretty good time, I enjoyed some of the music, but I definately felt like the 'old man'.
BTW, nice lookin' Bob you got there

Normally I would not talk about any of this, but this is a Memorial Day thread:
A three time combat vet and finally in the states for a memorial day!!! I just changed out of command here in the greatest division in the world, the 82nd Airborne Division!
Me and about a dozen guys from Fort Bragg heading out to the Outer Banks area for riding, drinking (when not riding), camping, telling war stories and remembering those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. The weekend was dreamed up by one of the guys on the division staff while they were sitting around in Afghanistan day dreaming about riding hogs. It was named after the silly movie, wild hogs. We will march in a parade here at Bragg on Thursday and having the president as the guest speaker. Then meet up on Friday and head out with the wives towing trailers and campers. It should be a great event, plus it's our 7 year anniversary. Wild Hogs!!

Thank You for your service, Sir.

Speaking of Delfest, any bluegrass lovers (I know Mud is one) out there will enjoy this youtube of Del McCoury and his band rehearsing with Dierks Bentley in somebody's living room. Good stuff.

Man I'd like to do Rolling Thunder. Sounds like a really cool thing to do. Of course I'd have a hard time not flipping off our politicians while rolling through the capital, but honering our vets with all those bikes is the coolest thing!
I may find the beach 1 day, and find a benefit ride another. God bless and ride safe!

Friends from Atlanta coming down for the weekend. He isn't bring his bike so we will be visiting many fine waterfront establishments on the intercoastal waterway around Tampa Bay. We will fly Old Glory from my boat and drink many toast to the people who have kept us safe and continue to do so. All of you folks riding this weekend please be safe.

Yep Memorial Day.
Thanks to the fine men and women who have sacrificed the ultimate
so we can live free in the finest country in the history of the world.
Dawg, I remember recommending Del McCoury to you a few months back.
Believe me now???? Looks like you've researched it a bit.
Here is another youTube video from 2002 at the Ryman Auditorium.
Del singing what many say is the greatest motorcycle song ever written.
1952 Vincent Black Shadow written by guitarist extraordinaire
Richard Thompson.

Going to be doing some bike riding...probably to Abilene(TX) through the hills(little W TX hills) and then on Monday I will be competing in a team roping (one of my other passions--I will hopefully win enough $ to put more stuff on my bike).
Ya'll be safe.

Never doubted you, brother! I always listen when somebody in the know turns me on to a good thing, and I'm always interested to learn more about great musicians. I had actually seen Del with some others on a show before and didn't realize who he was... I think it was with the New Grass crowd (and most of them are gonna be at Delfest). He was also on a radio show I listen to right after you mentioned him to me that time (funny how that happens..might not have paid as much attention otherwise).

I know you didn't doubt me Jimmy.
My point was really - that you believe me more now
that you've had a chance to get into their music more.
The BlueGrass players will all say that Del is the King.
Another band that does a good version of the Thompson classic is
ReckLess Kelly. Really good pickers in their own young right.

Yeah, I'm big on those young fellas. They were in ATL a few weeks ago but I couldn't make it. Yet another top notch Austin band (though the main guys are from Idaho or somewhere originally).
