Stolen axe alert and other stuff

Woke up to an email from my friend Joe Bergeron:

Hi everyone. Last night near the Double Down, my car got smashed into and my guitar and amp was stolen. The guitar was a Gretsch 1620 RHH reverend Horton Heat model. I have NEVER seen anyone besides myself play this guitar in Las Vegas. So If you see anyone playing the guitar below, let me know, and maybe let the police know as well.

Sux, big-time. Vigilance, brother & sisters. What a beautiful axe. Hope it can be recovered.

RON CREWS UPDATE

Our bro' Ron Crews remains hospitalized at UMC for ongoing treatment of his severely broken ankle, the result of being assaulted by some cretin at the Santa Fe Palms gig a while back. I'm sure he'd appreciate a call and/or a visit. UMC main number is 383-2000, Ron is in 405-2.

CAPTION CONTEST

Found this pic (below) in stuff down in Florida while packing up Mother's apartment. BobbyG, age 4 months, June 1946.

[Insert caption here]

The other day while tending to my Mom at her new assisted living apartment, I was struck by the thought 'yeah, 61 years ago, it was ME with no teeth, bein' spoon-fed applesauce...'

Doin' a 180 now.

I got 'em both here. No more trips to Florida. Dad (below) is the ghostly wheelchair wanderer every day at the nursing home.

When we unloaded the POD last week, I remembered that I'd put my Dad's old artificial leg in it. So, I couldn't resist this goof (below) as I got rid of it:

Halfway amazed that Metro didn't show up at my front door, guns drawn.
