Tony and I just returned from Kinky's and you are never going to guess who we met! We met Jim Suhler, 'The pride of the Lone Star state'—lead and rhythm guitarist, for George Thorogood! Remember the song, "Bad To The Bone" some thirty years ago! I love that song and I am going to iTunes and buy it!
Jim was real nice, but we didn't get to visit long, because he was playing a gig tonight, up in Austin, and had to take off. Wow! If you want to check him out, here is a youtube video of George singing "Bad To The Bone," with Jim playing guitar. Jim has been with the band since 1999, and he is the one playing the blond guitar, next to the bass player, with the blue colored, bass guitar! I promise that you will enjoy the video. Here's the address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7VsoxT_FUY
After he left, Kinky challenged Tone to a game of pool. It was a very close game, they were both shooting very well, but sad to say—Hummingbird Man - 1, The Medina Bulldog - 0. After Tony lost to Kinky, we returned to the rescue ranch.
P.S. George Thorogood, Truly Rocks! And Jim Suhler, is one heck of a great guitar player!

Nancy,
When my kids were little, my family were driving down the road and this old mellow sweet song came on the radio and I said to my then husband, that if I died someday, he could play this song at my funeral.
From the back seat, my then 4 year old son, David said, "Well if I die someday, I want that song Bad to the Bone at my funeral."
A few years later, I took my 4 children to see George play at an outdoor concert, Kansas City and they really enjoyed his show. His language was pretty raunchy, but they thought that made him even cooler.
You sure have an interesting bunch of characters in your life!
Hi Lori! Thank you for your comment! That is so cool about your son, David, wanting 'Bad To The Bone' played at his funeral! I hope that he is still around, and sorta—Bad to the Bone!
