Sorta Off Topic........

Been reading these forum posts about music on Spyders and other posts from folks like
Yazz down there in Texas and was listening to this CD earlier on and thought y'all might like
a bit of cool slide guitar and a very cool song......so here you are.....

I think this kind of captures the mood of some of those in the north who are bundling up their Spyders for that long ol' winter.

Thanks for sharing OJ.
Though I'm not in the north and bundled up, I do appreciate the blues sound.

Thanks again Bro.

LOVE THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY

The beautifuls roads & scenery. Wildflowers in the spring, meadows full of Bluebonnets & Indian Paint Brush. When I lived in Austin in the mid to late seventies, on weekends, my son & I would ride out to Enchanted Rock or Longhorn Caverns, a state park, or my grandparents farm for the day, first on my '67 BSA 650 Lightning, and then in later years on my '76 Honda Supersport. I'm hoping to move back there in the next couple of years to be back home & closer to my son. Also away from snow. I'm a country boy from Texas & I really don't like snow. First time I saw heavy snow in when I moved from Austin to NYC :shemademe_smilie:in 1978 it really freaked me out, seeing as I had never seen snow before. Hope to send all of our junk down in a moving truck & ride the :ani29: down. Only time will tell.:popcorn::popcorn:

Thanks OJ. Just came back from a Hill Country ride where many of those shots came from. Great place for a spyder ride with about 50 other spyder riders. :clap:

Thanks OJ. It is a cool wet day here so that is a nice daydream distraction.

An example of that, a few years ago I had a job to do in Brownsville, TX and drove from my then home in Lewisville, TX later that same year I took a vacation trip to my hometown in northern Missouri, on that trip I drove through part of North Texas, through Oklahoma, and most of Missouri to not too far from the Iowa state line, I realized I had driven the exact same mileage on both trips. The endless roads are kind of a love/hate thing for me, unless you cross state lines it can sometimes feel like you aren't getting anywhere, it's a mental thing I guess:D because it is also awesome at times to realize you've been driving all day and your still in Texas. I love this state outside the urban areas and lucky for me it doesn't take me long to get there.:2thumbs: I am not a native Texan but I've lived here longer than I ever lived anywhere else and all but three of my 15 grandchildren were born here and they all live here so I'm sticking around as long as I can.:D

OJ, Love that song, the slide guitar is a bonus. :clap:

From where we are, it takes two days to get out of Texas going north, west or south.
IMHO, riding straight down I-10 West for two days is the worst. Only did it once...

Not a Native Texan, but got here as soon as I could. :thumbup:

Glad you enjoyed that one, chaps!! :)
Chris Rea is just one of those artists who releases seldom
but when he does....there's some magic going on!
The story goes (and I got it from his lighting crew gaffer) had
that particular album, Road to Hell, not gone totally crazy sales-wise that he was
all for quitting the business and going back to bricklaying.
I'm so glad people liked that album!!

Chris Rea is one of the few artist that I have to pull out his LP and listen to on a regular bases. I will have to hunt this one down and see if it's in LP.
Thanks for sharing :2thumbs:
