Wow ... 91!

Guitar Boogie was my most favourite piece of music when I was a kid of 12 and ever since.
I learned to jive to that record!
My brother learned to play that piece of music on his guitar, and then taught it to all the neighborhood boys - well as back-up players to his guitar - and our house rocked on Saturdays to their home-made band playing Guitar Boogie.

What a good age to live to! And to leave behind such wonderful music.

I`m only leaving behind my "Stoned People" painted rocks and some awesome paintings.... and maybe a book or two - if I`m lucky enough to finish them in time!drinking
