Hey Dave,
I miss him too.
Wait till you see the artwrok on the new CD. It's Red on a rock :)
He'd appreciate the humor in that.
Talked to Garry the other night, he was home from the hospital and doing ok. Having his first "pint" in a long, long time.
Speaking of hospitals-apparently the spider venom is still urking in my body. Had a relapse this past week- will appreciate all prayers to get this silly spider stuff behind me. I have spoken with people who don't have access to the kind of healing techniques I have access to and they have been having relapses for 6 years... thank God I am in the healing business!
Peace to everyone,
Love, Diane

@Diane.. oh yes i be funny, try my best..sometimes with the wrong words, but deep out my heart.
please say Geri a hi from me. Her brother Larry was a genius...We all don't forget him and his music we stay in our hearts. His smile..who can forget it?
Diane
August 3, 2008
Heidi,
You are too funny.
Poor Garry-a boomerang!
and, yes, in case, she doesn't come back to the guestbook, Geri is Red's little sister. She is so right when she says we are all so thankful for the beautiful music he left for us to enjoy.
We all miss him so.
Sending my love to everyone, and thank you for the orders for Red's new CD, "Naked by the Bay." I am so proud of my late husband's talent as a song writer.
Well, TTYL,
Love, Diane

Hello-
Just me again with a message from Austin-he asked me to post a hello to everyone as it is still difficult for him to use his computer.
He's been in the hospital for the past few months, I won't go into detail, he can do that when he is back on line again, but he is home and recovering.
We are quite a bunch, aren't we? Glad we all have each other.
I was just about to write I hadn't heard from Garry and guess who rang me up? Yup, Garry is home, still has his foot and his sense of humor. We chatted and laughed for 37 minutes ! He asked I tell y'all he's fine.
Back to www.RedsMusic.com now.
Love to you all !

Hey Bruce and Red fans...
I will be emailing to all of you in the next few days to let you know Red's newest CD is available. You can send a check for $15 (that includes freight) to
Diane Jackman
P.O. Box 1678
Old Town, FL 32680
They do not come in a jewel case-I decided to be GREEN for Red's CD:)
Also, have not heard from Garry since he called me while waiting for the ambulance. Please keep him in your prayers.
Peace, Diane
Diane
July 21, 2008
Thanks Garry,
I knew Red's birthday would be a bit difficult, so when I found out there was a "Let's play with rocks party" at the High Springs Emporium, I made a reservation. We held rocks and learned alot about their healing powers. I was drawn to the honey calcite, which brings joy. I know Red is glad I am beginning to be my happy self again-I'll always miss him, but I am keeping very busy. The book is nearly finished, the cd is mastered and off to the copyright office, and all is well at the lake.
Dear Garry, take care of yourself, and watch out while you are video taping Poole-don't run over anyone, say hi to Dawn and I'll see your post on www.DianesDetox.com and on www.RedsMusic.com ;)
Love to everyone else...
BTW
Bruce made it home to Nashville today so I assume you'll be seeing him online somewhere:)
Peace and smiles,
Diane

July 19, 2008
Diane...my thoughts are with you on this sad day...may you find peace at the end of the day...xxx
For the last 36 hours I,ve been confined to bed as my stump is inflamed again and I,m running a high temp~~also my right leg and left stump have ballooned up to tree trunk size and tender to the touch..(Dawn...leave me alone...I,m typing!!!!LOL)
It,s a bit hard typing while laying on your side so I,ll cut this short.
By the way, dear Diane, Tennessee stud was written by Jimmie Driftwood and it was a #1 in 1959.
Love the title of your new Red album, Naked by the Bay...that alone will make it sell...and I want one!!! Please let me know when it,s ready.
Got a sore right shoulder so I gotta go.
Peace and the odd smile is what I wish you, Diane, and, if it comes to it, all my friends out there in Weblandia....bye all Garry
Diane
July 16, 2008
Thanks Dave,
Saturday, July 19, would have been Red's 52nd birthday. Maybe that is why this week's been full of tears.
We finished mastering his new cd just in time for his birthday.
Rock on Red.
Love, Diane

July 12, 2008
Thank you Heidi. Yes, I was telling someone yesterday it had been almost 8 months since Red started his life in eternity and they couldn't believe it. I guess the one who loses, really feels the hole in their life. We just have to fill it with good things.
By the way, if you blieve spirits can bring us messages, Red says the music on the other side always comes out exactly the way he wants it to sound. it's great.
I have been away from this work and busy starting a couple of businesses. I can't keep doing the carpentry, so I decided to use my mind instead.
I have stared a detox company, www.DianesDetox.com and between that and Red's Original Music at www.RedsMusic.com, I am paying bills and moving on:) I think Red is proud of me.
Hope you and your daughter are doing well too, keep on keepin' on, and Rock On Everyone !
Peace, Diane
Heidi
July 10, 2008
hi Diane..missed you.
8 month for you, 4 month for me.
When i saw Bruce on stage, my eyes going to Reds place.. When Bruce play "don't close your eyes" i hear the fiddle...
Diane
July 10, 2008
Hey, I am going to turn the guestbook back on and see what happens. Maybe the spammers will stay away. I also posted news about the upcoming CDs by Bruce and Red-only separate this time. Bruce is working on his new solo cd and I found some great music on Red's recorder after he moved on to the other dimension. Can't believe it's been 8 months now, but, his smile and his music will live forever.
Peace and smiles to you all,
Diane

Garry, You have my phone number and if I am available I will most certainly answer, call anytime. Looking forward to getting your homemade box with drum inside:)
Bruce is a great dancer, ain't he? Wish I could see the fun but alas, I live in the woods and can't watch the cams on my dial up. Hope Dave and Jenny are having a grand time-how could they not?
Thanks, John, Red was a great musician. He played banjo but not on stage- that would have been a mandolin:) Have you been to his music site www.RedsMusic.com and I would love for you anyone to post there as well.
Have a great night all,
Peace and smiles, Diane

Bruce tell us your little secret..who was the happy lady?
Garry
June 12, 2008
MMMMMMMMMM..Bruce..an unusual sight to see you at the bar for so long after you had finished your sets...then I saw you dancing with a slim brunette. Now I know why you stayed....go on, tell all~~I promise no-one else will hear about it as I can keep a secret...LOL
I THINK you said Hi to us over on the web but I was just changing from rawbar cam to stage cam so I missed what you said....anyhow, I waved back~~~did you see?? Anyhow, thank's for a great night again.
Dave and Jenny....I see'd ya..sitting there filling your faces and guzzling the booze...I waved to you also but you gave me the cold shoulder and had your back to the cam watching some fellah called Bruce. You don't half wistle loud, Dave!! Made my ear drums rattle from so far away!
Diane...found some boxes so I can now make a custom build box for the drum and other things and get it off to you ASPA. Let me know when it's ok to ring again, sweety.
Nice to see you still here Heidi...now get up off the floor! The lady is no good as a cleaner and you will get dirty...and maybe even pneumonia on such a cold floor...hahaha
Heidi
June 11, 2008

Sadly I took some new pain killers and they wiped me out last night (Tuesday) so I didn't see your wave Dave....and also missed Bruce's first night :-((

June 7, 2008
Glad you are getting out on the beach, Garry ! and sorry again about not getting rid of the "stupid spammers" off all the websites !
Anyway, I posted some photos on my Myspace page if anyone wants to see pictures of my recent adventures. Following the Tybee 500 sailboat race was stupendous...the trip to the mountain in Georgia with my sons was productive and helping Tami move from Key West to Atlanta was great fun !
Hope everyone is enjoying the summer-HOT, HOT, HOT- no such thing as global warming, huh ?
Stay cool,
Love, Diane
Garry
June 6, 2008
Hi Heidi, don't worry I think we all know that you and I were only repling to the spamers...lol.
It's now got very hot here in south coast of England but also cloudy...I went out today in my new cropped tracksuit bottoms. There was my pretty little stump sticking out of the left leg~~Great to see the little kiddies doing a double take and then whispering to mummy about my leg being missing.I always had a smile for the mothers when they looked embarrassed.
Bruce, the Tn. stud is on youtube address http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Utka_BXEUK4
Maybe that will be of help for the future.
Diane, can I 'phone you on Saturday or Sunday night please to give you an update??
Jenny and Dave...have a wonderful time across the pond and a long cool Bud for me :-)
See you all, one day...maybe
Garry

June 5, 2008
hello and good morning to all friends and special to our friend Garry.
Oh yes Garry i know, what you mean.."Galgenhumor" (what is the english word?) is that what hold our head over the water. We can talk and smile, laughing loud, but deep in our hearts is a big paine.
Garry, you be greatful..you show us all, how important are friends.
And i love all our friends here so much. They stay together, in good and also in bad times. Haha this are words which speaks the pastor when i married my husband.
Garry my friend..let your humor never fly away. Love and hope und peace..Heidi
oops, wish to tell you about the weather.. lot of sun, very hot, but so strong wind, never before we had in june so strong wind. Yesterday the wind takes my gardenpavillion through the garden.
And that was a moment that i take a look to the sky, seaching my husband..will say him..you are sitting on cloud number seven, take a look down to me and tell me please, how i can repair the broken pavillion with only 2 hands? Or 4 hands.. my daughter try to help me, but we need 2 hands more.This are moments that makes me laugh and cry together.
Oh yes, i be strong, but sometimes all the heartpain comes and break me down. But when i read how hard is Garrys life now.. i be ashamed..what is my paine against Garrys? And so looks my pain soo small..i can build my life new, but Garry show us all how strong a person can be. So i come back to my words on begin ...friends help is the best....Garry..you do it...
Friends, i believe, my english is not so good today, but the words comes so easy out of my heart, sorry....
Garry
June 4, 2008
Bloody Hell...that WAS long!! I must try and get out a bit more!!
Garry
June 4, 2008
Thank's for the good wishes, Jenny, Heidi and Diane.
Heidi, the more I feel something, the more I hide it and I use humor as my guard against the outside world! When I'm home alone I sometimes let it all slip, especially if someone comes to talk, and I let my feelings show but most of the time I'm the life and soul of the party....as, I think, it is the same with you, Heidi, and dear Diane.
I may have spent 18 years in the army but I am not as brave as some people think and, at times, I'm just a litle boy again who has cut his finger.
Anyhow...enough of my problems!
Sandra, do not let me see you using language like that, In this room, again!!! I thought I could swear but that was disgusting...I think..LOL.
Lovely to see you back Diane. Did you get my silly message on your cell phone on your birthday?? Mind you, you're now so old that you probably need a 5 year old to show you how to retrieve your messages...lol.
Sorry, just my 'galgenhumor' comming out again.
I hope you had a lovely time on your birthday with your two boys in your mountain home, even though it was without dear old Red.
The drum should be reposted in the next few days, once I have found a supplier of boxes of the right size and strength.....should be a place in Poole for that.
Jenny, enlighten me on how you and Dave can afford so many trips to KW...I'm bloody jealous!! LOL
Saddly I won't be able to afford to go there for another couple of years because the insurance refused to pay out for my holiday in Key West last October because I hadn't declared that I was already disabled before I broke my spine again last January!! Bloody people will find any way of wriggling out of paying!!! And now I'm broke~~but I'm still kicking and, atleast I still have my dear friends here!
Another long and rambling note from me, sorry all...:-)
Peace all....Garry
Jenny
June 4, 2008
Glad to hear you're ok Garry! Yes I'm going too, so we'll definitely give you all a wave :-)

All the best, Garry
Garry
June 2, 2008
Hi Jenny
Yes,I'm fine, or I should say I WILL be fine when the antibiotics work that they've put me on.
When they said I could go, this morning, I was halfway down the aisle before they'ed even finished saying it...LOL
It was an infection from the catheter I have to wear now....grrr not for long if I have anything to do with it!!
Hospital TLC is ok maybe once a year max but I've had my share so I went and washed my tabs down with a pint of Stella in my local ;>)))
Anyhow...If you're going to KW with Dave give us a wave from the stage. )
Right....peace and love to all,
Garry xxx

Oh S**T!! It looks like I have to go into my "second home" again!!!
It's now 12.32 A.M. on Saturday night and half an hour ago I noticed a swelling in my right 'Cojones' and when I touched it I nearly hit the ceiling~~If I could have!
I just 'phoned the hospital and spoke to one of the emergency doctors and he said he is coming right out as I may need watching over night in my happy home...eughhhhhhh!!!
I'll be taking my laptop with me with the new broadband thingy so I can log on in hospital..IF I need to go :>(((
Diane, I'll give you a ring when I can.
See you all one day, maybe!
Garry

May 25, 2008
Hi everyone.
Sorry I didn't reply to your question, Heidi, but yesterday, being the first full day out of hospital and living alone, was horrendous for me as I only have my usual pain killers which aren't very strong and none of the hospital strong ones!! I ended up calling the ambulance and they bought me some Oxymorph which sent me into cloud cuckoo land~~~~I think I took too much ;))
The word you were looking for is "Unique" meaning the only one or very rare, Heidi. And , yes, I feel the same way as you do about our worldwide "family"~~~~I don't think I would have had such a relaxed time in hospital without the thoughts and preyers from you all!!
OOOOHHH!! It's madam Diane's birthday today...Happy Birthday old girl!! Soon have your Senior Citizens benefits and you'll be drooling and asking "Do I come here often?" or "What did I come into here for?" when you go to get something from another room~~~or do you do that already??? Tee Hee!
Anyhow, thank you Kwi, Heidi and Diane for a lovely welcome back.
I'm feeling much better now I'm on the loony tablets but still can't get over feeling my foot and toes or trying to stand when I forget I'm now a Uniped....lol.
Got to go and take my tablets like a good old man...so BYEEEEEEE.
Red~~~if you see my leg, give it a kick from me!!

Garry, so fine to read you. Welcome back again. Long hard way for you..but you wrote it..with help and prayers from all your friends is a big part of you way.
I saw and heard when Bruce played the song for you..he said..this song is for my buddy Garry in Englang, in Poole..
Time for me is going little bit better now, i can smile again and my heart is beating normal.. my thoughts..ok they be often in memories, but think, that is normal.
And yeah must say, this friendships here in and over the guestbooks are ..äh, Garry what is the english word for einmalig?
Kwi, wave to you.....
kwi
May 24, 2008
Garry, I have been praying for you since day one. I also have been the cancer route, and cancer sucks to put it mildly.
I will continue to hold you in my prayers as you fight this battle..Red IS by your side.
Fight and fight hard! Attitude is everything when dealing with cancer.
I will not post again so I wish you only the best of wishes and speedy recovery. You have got "it"..the fight aura to beat this. It is there

Glad to see you back on the blog, and I see your fingers are working just fine;) LOL
Welcome back and have a happy time at home...
and I am glad the drum made it back to you-I was afraid someone had taken it home with them !
Just got to the Suwannee house with my son and am very sleepy-but wanted to let you know how great it was to see your entry-long and beautiful;)
Gnight, Love, Diane
garry
May 23, 2008
Yoo Hoo...is there anybody there??
Yes, It's me again...out on parole from the hospital, or should I say my second home??
Before I go on I would love to say "Thank you" to all my friends out there....Diane kept me up to date with what all you lovely friends were saying here in here, i.e. the thoughts and prayers and wishes of good luck....I must admit I always had tears in my eyes after chatting to Diane! I've never known such an outpouring of friendship for someone you have never met....mind you, we DO have a mutual love for the late, great Red, Diane and Bruce.
Because I'm not the type to wear my heart on my sleeve and I didn't feel it right to mention my problems while there was so much grief over the sudden and early loss of dear old Red, but, I couldn't keep it quiet for ever with all the time I was spending in the hospital and, being the everlasting coward that I am, I asked Diane to break the news about my situation.
Any way, I have been told today that I am in the early stage of remission so, fingers crossed, It will carry on being an increasing of good news in the checks every 2 weeks for the next 6 months!
I really am getting used to the smell and sounds of hospital life and I now have a new broadband internet mobile modem so I can log on WHEREVER I am...wherever I can get a signal for my mobile phone (cell phone) I can log on....it's not TOO expensive really, £15 ($30) per month.....I just wish I had had it over the last few months while I was incarcerated on the 'mental home'!!
Diane kept me up to date with the life outside my hospital room and I was totally relaxed when they came to take me for the operation~~I had never felt so at ease with life as I felt that morning, 5 weeks ago, and it was just by thinking of all the friends who were thinking and preying for me as I was warned that there could be complications due to the fact that I had had 2 heart attacks in 2000 and full anesthiesia was quite dangerous but I knew I would have a friend in Red to listen and chat to if it all went wrong. I'm sorry, but I was in tears when I woke up just by waking up and realising that all the good thoughts from round the world had relaxed me and the surgeon said he had never seen anyone so cheerfull before an amputation~~~~~I even laughed when they put the epidural into my spine!!! I even joked with the anetheasist(?) as he pumped the sleepy juice into my arm...then I was gone into Cloud Cuckoo Land!!
The Chaplain for the hospital came to see me yesterday and told me that my leg had been cremated rather than just chucked into an incinerator and, once again I had a few tears because I realised I had never seen Bruce and Red live but now my leg would be stomping away to Red's fiddle etc! Ain't I stupid or have I had too much laughing gas in the ambulance??
I have still to get used to all the phantom pains and phantom feelings ~~~~ I can wriggle my toes and can feel my foot touch the carpet while I am in my swivel chair...and the phantom pains...WOW, I have NEVER had pains like them!! The surgeon said I might be lucky and they will fade but he also said that most amputees have them for life!!
Anyhow, I have gone on long enough and my Stella is getting warm!!! LOL
Diane, have a lovely birthday but you won't get the package for another few weeks as it came back to me as damaged in transit...the drum is fine as it was just the box it was in that was torn and they couldn't make out your address.
Heidi, my thoughts are with you in your loss...you will smile again one day. xxx
Dave and Jen, I will ring you in a few days.
And to all my B&R friends...many many friends here in weblandia, I thank you all for the messages and thoughts and preyers for me...Friends are so precious in bad times and I will be thinking of you whenever bad times come your way.
Bruce, had a great chat to you the other night and thank's for singing the song for me....saddly the head nurse shoo'd me away from the nurses computer half way through the song so I got 2 or 3 minutes of Bruce in the last 2 months!!
Sorry, feeling tired now so it's bedtime for me.
My love and thoughts for all of you.
Peace and love.
Garry...xxx

Diane
May 22, 2008
Thank you for lighting red candles, Dave, yes, very appropriate. I have had some very interesting psychic experiences, not that I went "looking for Red" but, according to my new psychic friend Christopher, Red led me to him. It's been very interesting.
Anyway, it's good to see you around. Peace and smiles, Diane

thank you deb, we sure did have some wonderful years together-9 in all, and probably a few lifetimes centuries before (at least according to a couple of psychics i have had a chance to meet).
the spider got me on the inside of my right forearm and the wound went necrotic, got about the size of a half dollar before the drawing suave began pulling the poison out. (wish i had known about the charcoal!) The doctors wanted to cut away the flesh, but i didn't want anyone with a scalpel that close to the tendons in my forearm. happy to say the wound is healed over-but i came into contact with someone who had flatwarts while the wound was open so now i have a little smiley face shaped wart i am hoping will go away with the castor oil patch i am wearing.
i guess it just goes to show ya, it's always something:)
but i got up breathing and it is ging to be a great day !
peace and light, diane

Diane, I'm so sorry to hear of Reds passing. You had some wonderful years together. A brown reclouse nailed me back in Oct 07.
I could hardley stay awake for 2 weeks. I used ground charcoal on the bite and it really drew the poison out. The pain went away in 24 hours. It never broke the skin and all I have left is a very small dark spot. Nasty experience and now I am so fearful of spiders.
It got me on the belly where my waist band was. I had been working in the yard at my house that day trimming bushes, I think that's where I picked him up. I hope your doing well now as some time has passed and that the poison is all gone. And I know Red will be in your heart forever.
Where was your spider bite at on your body? ENJOY NOW AND BE WELL

hey all-i posted a short note in the "news" section to fill you in on "bruce and red" news and wanted to say here that garry called yesterday and he made it through his surgery wonderfully with "one less leg and happy to be alive" .
thank you for all your prayers.
i too, am doing wonderfully and am very excited about the recording i was finally able to make from files red had recorded july 2007 at the hog of one of those GREAT NIGHTS

Best wishes Garry - give me a call if you're bored, we'll have a beer over the phone!
Hi Diane, glad you're feeling better.
Have a great 10 days Bruce buddy, we'll be tuning in.
Rock on Red....

April 10, 2008
i will post this here and on bruce's site as well,
garry has asked me to let everyone know he was rushed back to the hospital yesterday. looks like he will lose his foot and was afraid of going under the anesthesia, he's had trouble with that in the past. so if everyone will smile and breathe deeply and send him some good happy thoughts, i am sure he could use some right about now. he said he will try to get online in the hospital-and if he calls me, i will post what is happening for everyone.
as for me, the spider bite is healing and i haven't had a "seizure" for a whole week,
it is good to feel like myself again.now we just have to get garry on the mend.
peacefully yours, diane

thank you for your kind words, michael,
my husband, red, was loved by many and is missed by us all, thank god we have the recordings.
i am glad you were one of the lucky ones who stumbled in while he was playing at the hogs breath with bruce.
bruce is still making beautiful music at the hog, and his schedule is on the new site we have created for him at bruceisaacson.com.
i am currently working on my husband's site redsmusic.com, he had several original songs and many old country recordings from the "hot wlaker days" ...i will be making those available on his site.
his music, and his smile, is alive in all of our memories.
peacefully yours,

I am sorry to hear about Red passing away. While in Key West on a layover, I had the good fortune to stumble across Bruce and Red at the Hogsbreath. I used to bid overnights at my company that would coincide with them playing. I very much miss those beautiful Key West nights and the pleasure of Bruce and Red's music.

hello everyone:)
thanks for the prayers, once again, how funny life is! this spider bite has taught me to take it easy-and to take care of business-
i came to northern georgia with a couple of my girl friends on friday, to clean the mountain home and to try to make some decisions...
the girls have gone back to their homes and i spent the night in atlanta with another great girlfriend ... i am so blessed !
and now, its back to the mountain, no phone, no internet, just space,
to do alot of thinking... about refinancing, about renting the house, about life in general.
and hopefully, red will com eand sit in my co-pilot seat and help me come up with some answers-cause his big red smile is everywhere up here:)
so glad red helped you decide to take flying lessons, rob, it was one of the things he loved the most about life-flying high with his hands on the controls.
always good to see you back austin and kwi, and have a great week everyone.
watch out for those spiders:) and keep on smilin! love, diane

Rob, My first solo was on 12-13-1981.
You will remember your solo date forever. You will be nervous, excited, scared...all kinds of emotions rolled into one.(so will your instructor!)
The best way to remain calm is to focus...picture Red sitting in the right seat wearing that smile.
Have a great flight & I hope it's not to chilly out where ever you are, losing your shirt tail creates instant aircondioning!
Give 'em three good ones and try not to bounce.

I am so sorry to learn that Red is no longer with us. I met Red (and Bruce) a few years ago in KW, and I really enjoyed listening to them play. I used to plan my KW trips around their schedule at HBS. I enjoyed talking to Red about my flying dreams as he was an instrument rated pilot. He encouraged me to take flying lessons. He told me that learning to fly gave him a lot of confidence and helped get him through some tough times in life. I will never forget that. I am now a student pilot close to my first solo, and I will definitely be thinking of Red on that first solo flight. Godspeed Red!

Omg Diane! I to was bit by a brown recluse in 1988. (fiddlin' spider)
I lived in Naples at the time and the hospitals ER doctor did much research prior to treatment. After many hours he prescribed a medication most Rx'ed to the elderly for gout. (colchicine sp?) was given to me every 2 hours around the clock. Two days later all I had left was a nasty scar.
Gout patients seem to suffer the least from the venom. This is one nasty little devil of a spider! left untreated the venom ricochets through out the victims body.
These little buggers are very common in Florida, they get the name "recluse" because they are not web builders and like to hide.
Heal fast and take care.
Red is smiling large but I have to say..the fiddlin' spider bite is an eye opener!
Prayer's are with garry across the pond too.
Big Red smiles to Diane, Garry, Heidi and all.

hello, everyone,
i realize this site isn't visited quite as much anymore, but wanted to post on both this site and bruce's new site that the last time i spoke to garry was about a week ago, and he was on his way to the hospital, again. please send your prayers and good energy towards poole, england.
i am still alive, which may sound like a strange thing to be fo rme to write, but after being bit by a brown recluse spider almost a month ago and having to call 911 in convulsions, getting up alive these days is even better than ever. i have been doing an intense detox to rid my body of the poisonous venom and am ecstatic about the horrible rash i have from head to toe-a sign the detox is working. that spider packs a hell of a punch.
we have been joking that red missed me and was trying to bring me into his dimension-because the brown recluse spider can be identified by the distinct fiddle on his back. sorry, honey, not yet, i have too much work to do here:)
i think it was just a sign for me to rest, grieve some more and be SO thankful for every day- it worked.
hope all is well with all of you, and god bless us all:)
love, diane

I wonder if the next cloud is a par 3 or par 4 with a slight dogleg past the storm cloud, complete with lightning, with a airpocket bunker in the bloody way, as they usually are!!!
Lovely to chat again tonight Diane, I think it beats both of our lonesome blues (must be a song title there!!) but I am proud to class you as a bossom buddy.....long time since I did that!!!
Well, your disk is done but there will be more....hold the front page!!
Love and peace to all

thank you for your kind words, will, but i don't see red resting much in the hereafter-i imagine he is drinking beer, playing golf, and playing music-not necessarily in that order. we all miss him tremendously and we have all been grieving together. it doesn't seem possible that he is really gone. but his music and his smile, will live forever in our hearts.
peacefully yours, diane

I just learned of Red's passing. I am overwhelmed with grief, ,y sympathies to Diane. My wife and I went to see Red and Bruce play every year when we were in KW. Red sat at our table a few times and chatted with us. What a wonderful gentleman. His musical talent was phenominal. We will miss him very, very much. Rest In Peace friend Red.

Thanks to all for helping me to deal with Red's passing and in hopes of returning some comfort to anyone who may need it, here is a favorite poem of mine about hope, by Emily D:
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chilliest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
Peace :>)

wow- dave, i didn't think anyone was looking:) i have been trying to get bruce's site to a point where there was something to look at so i could tell everyone it was up-but you beat me to the punch:) thanks for your announcement:)
and yes, heidi-the beard is from the old days (i kinda like it-haha:) but it is because, after going through literally THOUSANDS of photos, i couldn't find any really good recent ones of bruce. which means i will have to make a trip to key west to take some photos-aw, gee, darn, i can't wait:)
glad to see you back on line garry. my prayers go out to you and hope you are VERY well, VERY soon.
glad to see you back online heidi- hope your days are getting brighter.
and to all the people who are sending checks for the bruce and red DVD- many, many thanks. already into our second run of them-i am so happy with the way the cover art and dvd came out. i hope red is smiling that big red smile:)
peace, love and prayers to everyone, diane

to all my wonderful friends
i'm so thankful for all your thoughts and help. Monday we say goodbye to my husband in the church. It is so hard for me and my daughter. She is 13 years old.
But she has a wonderful teacher... she will be with us in church and will watch to my sabrina.
This weekend is full of work for me, so i can't think so much.
And next week.... i will try to go slowly back to the real life.
Garry, hope you get soon better. And when you stay at home, you feel a little bit better.
I understand you..long time ago that we had that missunderstood. I know, you be a good friend.
Now i must go and buy the flowers for monday.
love to all my friends. heidi

Glad to see you in high spirits garry :O) you've been going through a lot so its good to see you smiling and still there for others.......I love the whole blaming "the old guy" for the peeing in bed incident.....I think we all know the truth lol (kiddding!!)
As for the morphine.....who said that...where am i.....ahhhhhh!! those are my more vivid memories of being on the stuff!! oh and as for seeing things flying around I actually grabbed an angled reading light that was attached to my bed and strangled it before launching it across the ward!!!!! I came round suddenly out of a sleep an saw the thing looking at me thinking it was going to get me lol.
Not sure what good I am to anyone at this moment in time with a bottle firmly attached to my right hand but If you need anything Gary send me an email and you got a friend here ready to help.
Austin (taish23@hotmail.com)
keep hanging in there Heidi, still sending you as much love an warmth as possible.

Hi all.
Heidi, what can I say?? My deepest sympathies go out to you and your daughter and I know you will find strengh from us all as we will all be with you in heart.
A close friend once told me "Our birth made us mortal, our death will make us immortal", and that goes for both you AND dear old Red too. If you ever want to chat, just log onto MSN and I'll be there for you.....JUST as a friend!! (I think you got the wrong idea about me before!)
Well, I'm out again, 4 weeks and 2 days of hospital dinners, old guys burping, F**ting and snoring in the same bay as me~~~~and that was just the daytime!!! One night an old guy got out of his bed while I was at the nurses console sending you all a message~~~~~and climbed into MY bed and had a pee!!!!! Luckily the sister caught him before he could get back into his bed or I would have had quite a bit of explaining to do!!!!!
It seems my heart is not up to an operation right at this moment and so I am now on mega amounts of new drugs to settle it down again....some of which have VERY strange side-affects...I keep seeing strange objects floating about in my vision~~I HATE MORPHINE!!!
What a wondeful surprise that was waiting for me this afternoon when I got home....Many thank's Dave and Jenny, Diana and Frank and Bruce for the box of goodies....It gave me a warm feeling inside knowing I have such good friends 'round the world!!!
Dear old Red may have gone to the gig in the skies but he has left an enduring legacy for us all....friendship from all quarters of the world!!
And now....back to good old Stella Artois!!!
See ya all.

there is no doubt in my mind that there is life after life...
red has sent many signs for me-including leading me to a psychic who lives just around the corner from me:) i spent the day helping him set up his new spiritual center...
hang in there heidi, you will cry alot, and then you will begin to find strength and smile, especially when you know there are so many who love you,
love, diane

March 3, 2008
Well I can guarantee that Red would have been there to meet him for you an prob as we speak right now there is a celestial bar where all the angels go after work....your husband is there sat at the bar right where Red has shown him to sit and he is watching red do his thing an spread that smile around.
Your loss is hard Heidi....Very hard. Grief will come and has to so you will be sad and down which is fine, but you got to pick yourself up at the same time and think of all the good times and great memories you have for nothing can ever rob you of those x x he will always be a part of you an I know that right now he's up in that bar having a great time but he's looking down and he doesnt want you to be too sad or down. He's safe and well now where he is.....not gone....just moved on to another place, but his love is right there with you along with ours x
love and light be with you Heidi

Hey Heidi!!!! I'm the miserable, depressed screw up round here lol!!! I don't know you very well but I know that when I get to come on there is always a lot of love an warmth from everyone you know here for you.
I know what its like to be in that black hole cos I tend to live in it!! but thats me, one of lifes eternal entertainers able to make others smile an feel good but never myself. You got to climb out of that hole and hang on to everything around you. God I know its hard......when you've had enough an everything is bad its easier to just walk away from everything than fight on an hang in there.
I know all those that love you here want you to hold on to them as tight as possible, it might seem hard an the most draining thing ever but trust me when you this down its what you got to do or you end up like me!! an no room in my bottle for anyone else lol.
Your a lovely young vibrant person Heidi an we all love that light that burns bright within you. Life is at times the most painful and hurtful thing there is but we have to fight through those moments :O) cos always there if we reach out is the love an warmth of those that care for us......an we all care for you!! so get a big old Red type smiley on your face...take a deep breath....grit your teeth an let everyone help you through this.

Hey man, glad you're still in one piece, nicely nuclear infused (sounds like a Heston Blumenthal new recipe idea!) I'm sure you'll pass the test with flying colours and soon be back in the pub mate. Stay cheerful..! All the best.
And best wishes to you too Heidi..

March 1, 2008
HI....It's little ol'e lame duck, me, again!!! Sadly, they found out it wasn't safe to do the AngioGram due to on-going virus problems so I had a Nuclear Infusion cardio stress test......Bloody nearly sent me into orbit!!!! Have to wait for next week to get the results and, if worse comes to worse, it will mean a Bypass operation (((!!!!!)))
As it's nurses hand over time I had better cut this short cos they'll need their PC hub.
Catch up soon, friends....Many thank's for your thoughts.
Dave and Jen....loved our chat the other night....must do it again.
Looking forward to getting home and ripping my parcel open...
A BIG RED SMILE FOR ALL.
Yours

good to see you back, austin...
sorry you have had some difficulty-
but you sound like your comical self...keep up the good work on that!!!
this is my last day in the keys and am getting ready to go play "spades" with a friend who has aids
(hmmm-is there a song in there?)
i try to see him each trip to the keys, cause ya just never know...
of course, each time i get back safely i am the one thankful to still be amongst the breathing ones:)
if anyone wants the bruce and red DVD just email me at reddisetgo@aol.com -
i will be sending out an email too-
but i don't want to miss anyone:)
i will be back on the suwannee tomorrow, spending some time alone and getting a bunch more work done.
bruceisaacson.com is among my list of accomplishments scheduled for next week-
wish me luck:)
life continues to be quite amazing-
i have been doing alot of writing and healing and dancing (i got caught having fun dancing to the carter brothers last week at the hog:)

Hey Everyone X X Not been around a while as life got a bit out of hand!!!
Glad to see everyone chatting, giggling an still passing that big old RED smile around :)
Bruce its great to read how well your doing, good on you bro.
Heidi I hope your husband is ok and Gary I hope your on the mend an chasing nurses about :)
I hope everyone is well also! flicked back through the last months comments so prob missed something!! sorry!!
Afraid the old Bi-polar has had the better of me this month leading to way too much time staring at the bottle of the old bottles....not the answer I know but its my relief. Not helped by the fact that the meds I take are bad for my liver etc so drinking to excess makes me pretty ill.....childish......but hell that buzz lol
Worked with a few musicians.....not sure how!!....but guess the old drinking brings out the performer. One band have been really good and look like being a big thing soon and I had to be adult enough to tell them they really didnt need my help as a singer cos their guy is more than good enough once his confidence is up......will regret that when they hit the heights lol.
Anyway boring everyone I know!!
Love and Light to you all especially Diane an Bruce.

Looks pretty cool for me. Wonderful well this reading.

February 24, 2008
hey all-
i haven't been on line since last monday-just so much to do in the keys and the weather has been great (along with the music)...
thank you mike glean, i never get tired of hearing stuff about red-i was out on the fury watersports boat for sunset the other night listening to the carter brothers band and jeff (grandpa:) shenandoah play at sunset:)...oh it was beautiful---
a man approached me and said,
"i am sure you are tired of hearing this, but, your husband made so many people so happy with his music and his smile"...
i smiled right back and told him, i never get tired of hearing anything about my husband.
so, again, thanks mike, i am sure red is smiling down and thinking of you and the fun days we all had with the cowboys and angels band in northern georgia:) i was looking at pictures of the marquee in dahlonega, ga the other day...
dave-you get garry over here and i'll find a nurse for him in florida... and if i can't find anybody else to put up with him, i mean, if i can't find someone to act as his personal care assistant, i'll volunteer to lug the old bloke around, i mean, help him out... yes, garry, the motorhome has a new home, it's going to be going to boat shows around southern florida-somehow, i think that is appropriate.
oh-by the way, garry knows i am very experienced in helping folks with special needs, i worked for a wonderful quadriplegic man named for many years-in fact we were planning on doing a trip last year, things have changed since then, eh, garry...hurry up and get better garry so we can synchronize our time clocks...
heidi, we pray for your husband's comfort and for the comfort of your soul.
the time here in the keys has been bittersweet...i am having a lot of laughs in between sobs, with lots of friends i have had for decades... and life goes on...
thank you everyone for everything, especially the hugs..
the "bruceandred, live at the hogs breath" dvd is ready-i will get the info for shipping tomorrow at the post office. i am really proud of how the cover design came out, i put it together with lots of love, finished it on valentine's day, as a tribute to my baby.
and-
thank you, diana and frank- i can now see why bruce fell in love with stella, you can't NOT love that sweet girl.
and in case bruce doesn't have time to get online i will let y'all know he's doing fine...enjoying a little down time in key west before he heads up to destin-and he has some daytona stuff and more happening in the hilton head area too, we are going to start working on his solo website over the next couple of weeks so you will be able to "tune" into that soon...
the weather is more than fine,
wish you ALL were here:)
peacefully yours, diane

Hey Garry, glad you're sounding chipper even if you're not feeling it! I'm going to mail your Hog's Breath bits and pieces to you at the hospital if that's ok with them and we'll come down to see you later when you're a bit better. We're going back to KW next month if there's anything in particular you'd like us to bring back for you? The angiogram will be fine...
Heidi, I couldn't watch Bruce last night cos there was something wrong with my web feed. Glad he was on form! Best wishes to you.

Hello all, and my deepest sympathies lie with you,dear Heidi.
As I am still here in hospital with no WiFi link in this department, the ward sister has given me permission to leave you an update on my situation:--I was rushed in last week with terrible pains but the scan showed no major damage! I am now in a holding patern for what they call an ANGIOGRAM which should be next week in Bournemouth Hospital. An Angiogram is semi-dangerous so I am just a little bit worried but, well, who know's.
As soon as I am "out" I will let you all know....if you want to get intouch it is----Garry Hickmann, Ward C4, Poole Hospital Trust, BH15 2JB. The number will be in the book.
Love to all and deepest thoughts to Heidi and Family.
Give it one for me, Bruce.
Garry

@ kwi>>> ooh ooh, to speak english can be hard. When the spring comes, lot of tourist come to visit our little town. We have millions pretty flowers(lila Krokus) in a park, mor than 100 busses comes with people from the whole wide world. And when i there in the park, or downtown, people ask..in english, in dansk, french.. many things. To answer is hard, the first words..later it will be better. I think often..1000 people walk arround, but mostly the tourists ask me for help.. why? If you click this link, you can see our park in the springtime

Hello to you all!
We're in the process of deciding what moves with us to KW now. Planning to leave Sunday or Monday. It will be a looooong drive from KY to KW. We'll soon be "residents of Key West"!
Diane, I didn't get your email with your phone number. Can you send it again, please? We're looking forward to seeing you soon.
And, Bruce, we'll see you again soon, too. Stella can hardly wait!
Best wishes to all of you. Visit us in Key West.
ROCK ON, RED!

Rock on Red...
diane
February 4, 2008
thank you for your kind words, rick. yes, my husband, red, was a kind man, a hell of a performer and definitely lived life to its fullest !
but somehow, i can't picture him being peaceful in his new life in eternity...i see him with a fiddle under his chin and a fishing pole in that same hand, a golf club in the other, oh, wait, how will he be able to drink his beer :) knowing him, he'll figure it out.
we all miss him alot, but life goes on...
and bruce is doing a great job on his own and he starts again at the hog on the 11th in key west. the dvd that was filmed the same time the "live at the hogs breath" cd was recorded should be available by the end of next week. i will be sending out a notice to everyone on the email lists...
thankfully we have the recordings...the music lives on (and as diana and frank would say-rock on red:)
travel safely diana and frank...
hope the weather has calmed down for you, garry and heidi...it felt like spring here in northern florida today, a balmy 78 with a lovely breeze.
i just love florida !
have a great week everyone, see you soon bruce,
peace, diane

Ann and I were just planning our next adventure to Key West when we saw the news of Reds passing. We never talked with Red or Bruce, other than a few hello's at the tip jar. I wanted to say thank you guys for the music. We were in Key West the weekend before Thanksgiving. You guys sounded awesome, as always. So happy I got to see you guys several times that weekend. Peace be on you Bruce, as well as Red's family.

the weather was even more beautiful in northern florida today-garry and heidi-wish i COULD send some over to you... and i am glad to have it.
congradulations on your closing diana and frank, and travel safely. i sent you my number, call if you want to stop-mi casa, es su casa and if you drive by-just call and wave and i'll see you in key west!
by the way, i love how you always put a "rock on red" at the end of your posts...it makes me smile.
i am back in my rental house, and the portrait you painted, diana, is on the wall here, it looks wonderful amidst the photographs i have collected over the years. so many wonderful memories. so many more to create.
i have alot of projects to work on, staying busy, grieving, laughing and looking forward to the patriots winning the superbowl sunday-like i said a while back-red died of embarassment, we were rivals in football and he was a dolphins fan:)
so- rock on everyone !
and go patriots:)
peacefully yours, diane

It's only little me again!
Today's blonde joke~~~~~~~~~
A blonde asked someone what time it was, and they told her it was 4:45.
The blonde, with a puzzled look on her face replied,
"You know, it's the weirdest thing, I have been asking that question all day, and each time I get a different answer."
And, yes, I AM a blonde too...lol
I'm sat here watching the horizontal rain and the trees doing a fair old immitation of the 'Leaning Tower of Piza'!!! I wouldn't be surprised if I saw a seagull with a 'slicker' and gum boots on.....Brrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
Anyhow....the reason for my forced abscence from our snuggle room is that, as I was warned by my GP, the C. Diff. hadn't fully left my body and I felt like 'eyuuchh' plus my laptop was playing up and needed repairing....I hate compooters!!!
Diana & Frank...many thank's for the gifts, whatever they are....I'm looking forward to Dave and Jenny comming down here with them.
Dave...Ann, the little lady who has taken me under her wing, has offered to put you and Jenny at her place if you fancy a weekend down here.
Have you still got a roof Heidi?? I think we have the same winds as you...70 miles per hour from the North East....Brrrrrr!!!
I'll be replying to all my emails over the next few days so, you'll all hear from me soon.
Diane....PLEASE send us some of your weather...lol
Yours....G

*snort* lol!
Dave
January 30, 2008
And he's back with jokes! Must be feeling better.... excellent!
Heidi, nice one, you got it spot on!
Ok, one from me..... A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife. She was determined to keep the ranch but knew very little about ranching so she placed an ad in the newspaper for a ranch hand.
Two cowboys applied for the job. One was gay and the other a drunk. She thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied she decided to hire the gay guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk.
He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every day and knew a lot about ranching. For weeks the two of them worked hard and the ranch was doing very well. Then one day, the rancher's widow said "You have done a really good job and the ranch looks great. You should go into town and kick up your heels."
The hired hand readily agreed and went into town on Saturday night.
He returned around 2:30 am and upon entering the room he found the rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine, waiting for him.
She quietly called him over to her. "Unbutton my blouse and take it off," she said. Trembling, he did as she directed.
"Now take off my boots." He did as she asked, ever so slowly.
"Now take off my socks." He removed each gently and placed them neatly by her boots.
"Now take off my skirt." He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching her eyes in the firelight.
"Now take off my bra." Again, with trembling hands he did as he was told and dropped it to the floor.
Then she looked at him and said "If you ever wear my clothes into town again, you're fired!"
Sorry it was so long, I borrowed it from Jenny .... !

Diana & Frank
January 29, 2008
What the @#$% was that???
Yes, Diane, Stella's a dog, but she didn't get to go to the party. She's too young to be dating. I'll take some photos of Bruce and Stella when he is visiting us later this week. No one (with a heart) can resist her sad little face. OMG! Bruce has a heart! Just kidding, Buuuddy.
To Dave and Jenny: Has the package arrived? Sure hope those western boots and belts fit you all.
Diane, will you email me, please. I can't locate your phone number and I'd like to talk to you about the house in Northern FL.
Our best wishes to all!
diane
January 28, 2008
so bruce, your date sounds like she was a real dog at the party ;)
sorry, someone had to say it:)
so glad y'all had a good time at the party, i thought of you often-but at 8 degrees, i was happy to be in northern florida!
so glad polly was able to come up too-she and clay are cool and fun to be around...
i just emailed garry, has anybody heard from him?
hope all is well with everyone.
peace, diane

sorry the last comment belongs to me.
Hahaha Bruce...what i say... all girl loves you....give the little doglady a shirt from you....
January 28, 2008
it seems like it was yesterday, ... it seems like it was forever ago...and it still seems like it isn't real.
that are Dianes words...
And i must say, i feel the same...
When Bruce comes to the stage with all his handsuits (wrong word? )
i wait for Red. He came often a little bit later than Bruce.
But really, Fiddling Reds spirit is on stage..

Glad to hear it went so well! You're right, we would have done! As a matter of curiosity Diana, did you receive my cell text message on Saturday? Just wondered if it got through.....!
Diana & Frank
January 28, 2008
A BIG hello! to you all,
We had a great time Saturday night. What a way to have a "moving to Key West" party! Bruce and Clay played and sang together - which was great. Two handsome brothers on stage....awesome. Also lots of food, drinks and fun. Thanks, so much, guys.
Clay and Polly are wonderful people. We enjoyed spending time with them and hope to convince them to visit us in Key West.
Bruce, we have a problem...our dog, Stella, is moping now. She misses you! Hurry back to our house this week or weekend, so she can snuggle up to you again. That little dog is in love! We really enjoyed having you with us this past weekend.
WISH YOU ALL COULD HAVE BEEN THERE THIS WEEKEND! I know that Diane, Dave & Jenny would have loved it.
(Rock on, Red!)

January 27, 2008
thank you heidi, i actually saw jp's post yesterday and went in and got his email address and wrote to him- i told him i was happy he had been one of the lucky ones to see my husband play- and that i thought his english was perfect-it should be called the "hug bar" cause i get more hugs there than anywhere else on the planet-well, almost:)
it seems so strange, it has been 8 weeks (he actually died on november 30th but the newspaper got it wrong:) ...it seems like it was yesterday, ... it seems like it was forever ago...and it still seems like it isn't real.
i have learned to look at november 30th as the first day of his life in eternity (sounds so much better than the day he died) and i just finished the most wonderful book by dr brian weiss, called "many lives, many masters". i highly recommend it to everyone-it makes us realize how death is not the end of our spirit, it just happens to be the end of this physical life.
sure do miss that smile though-and working on the dvd has been great as the camera crew got his LAUGH twice on it...we won't be cutting that out !
red's laughter and his music and his spirit will live forever:)
can't wait to get to the keys in february-remember-bruce starts at the hog on the 11th (and i will be waving to you all on the 20th:)
peace and love to everyone:)
and thank you for being:)
love, diane

I just called my Mom and told her the news, I just checked my hotmail email and found out about Red.
We got to see Bruce and Red play in Destin at Hog's Breath. My Mom had never been to Florida. What a wonderful time for the both of us. He will be missed. Play on brother, play on.

Hello to all!
So nice to see you again in KW, Bruce. Looking forward to our party here in Louisville, KY. We plan to call you today to work out the details. Pretty cool that we can host our own "moving to Key West" party, huh?
And, Dave - great to see you in KW, too. Western boots and belts are on their way to you and Jenny. Enjoy!
Hasn't anyone heard from Garry? If any of you have an address for him, please, let us know. We have friends in Poole who may be able to check on him.
See you and Clay on Saturday, Bruce. (Rock on, Red)

It was great seeing you again at the Hog. Nothing better than sitting at the raw bar, sipping a few red stripes and listening to good music. See you somewhere down the road

Just checked out this website. Was wondering why Bruce was playing on his own at the Hogs. I am so sorry to hear the sad news. I am one of those people who wanted to hear Red play. It's such a shock. Please accept my condolences & my best wishes to you all. Hope you are doing well Diane. It must be very hard for Bruce too. My thoughts are with you all.

hey heidi- big G was a percussion player who used to live in key west, then moved to costa rica (at least, i think it was costa rica) and then found out he had diabetes so returned to key west for treatment.
funny thing was, we used to call him BIG "G" cause he was a very large man and when he became sick he lost alot of weight. then we called him medium "G".
i saw him at the memorial for Red in key west and he gave me a hug and his conveyed his feelings about how much he missed red and how unfair it was... i smiled at him and told him that dying was part of life, we just don't get to pick when.
someone found him, sitting in his easy chair, i guess a day or so after he had passed. so he's joined the big "jam session in the sky" too.
bless you all and have a great week...and put on your great big "red" smile-he would want is to be having a bunch of fun !
love, diane

Hey Garry, welcome back brother!
I've just got back from Key West and Diane and Frank from Kentucky (who have some good friends in Poole) bought some Hog's Breath goodies for you (added to personally by Bruce) which I've brought back with me. So... at some point convenient to you I am entrusted to pop down and deliver them!

Off again for a while now guys....Take care all of you an keep on passing that Red smile round the world :) might not seem much but it works.
Keep playing Bruce your doing great, watched again last night......how are those blisters on your fingers lol ...one more song....one more.......they sure dug you last night! Mind those boxes of chocolates though lol

Garry..now may be a good time to fall in love with cottage cheese or better yet, butter milk. (ack) These reintroduce the natural bacterias to your digestive system. Some yougerts help too..but most lack the needed cultures.
Hospitals do have a way of making one sick...go figure.
Here's to a quick healing...!
Thanks Austin too!
There is comfort here...

Hey Garry glad your ok man! that C diff is pretty nasty!!!! hope you resting an letting yourself recover cos that will have taken it out of you. good to see you laugh an smile at the situation though :) I find it always helps.
Diane, bang on the nail there with the stuff about dissabilities being part of us. Despite Massive head injury making my Bi-polar worse it has always been there. The lows I have are pretty horrific and hard to describe to their full dark level but them with the highs make me who I am.....they give me great emotion,feeling and creativity which makes me the singer......seem to help with the drinking too...I am slowly becoming Ernest Hemmingway lol when I did the tour of the house the cool guide Dave even thought I looked like him in some pics!!
I was sitting here feeling guilty about a piece of chocolate I was about to pop away inside my enlarged apre xmas stomach when I saw Bruce waiving a box of chocolates on stage!!! ......can he read our minds now??

Hello old friends, I'm back but still a little wobbly after being in the horizontal position for a month. (Apart from mad, frantic dashes to the bathroom!!)
When I got out of hospital I thought all my troubles were over....boy, was I wrong!!!
Rather than giving TMI, let's just say I wasn't quick enough the "first time" and had to shower!
I called the nurses next morning and they came round within a few minutes gowned and masked~~I could almost hear them saying "We are Borg..resistance is futile!"
Everything was so surreal as I had expected my usual happy~go~lucky team of nurses but these 'Darlings' came to give me the news that I had caught Clostridium difficile...a virulent gastric virus only caught after broad spectrum antibiotic treatment, which I had had, and only caught in hospital!!!
The antibiotcs I had had wiped ALL the bacteria from my body~~including the friendly bacteria in my gut and the baddies got in and had a feast day!!
They wouldn't take me back into hospital as I was, by now, highly infectious so I was stuck in my place alone~~~without even being able to have a drink (Beer) except for water (BORING!!)
Anyhow....enought of me, I'm waking up with my usual smile again and full of the joys of Stella Artois! LOL
Thank's to you all that sent their good wishes and making me laugh~~even though it was dangerous to laugh too much (if you get my drift!)
(I now know that a commode makes a great table for a laptop!)
I'm now ready to download the service for dear Red onto DVD and I would be greatful for suggestions for what I can start and finish it with...songs, tunes etc. I have my own thoughts but it

thank you for your kind words, pete and chris... i haven't seen ted since the memorial we did for red in key largo-but i understand he is sounding better than ever...do tell him diane says hey- and if you are still around at the end of february, i'd love to toast life with you both. email me through my website, www.reddisetgo.org ... and if anyone else wants to check out the "new" reddisetgo.org website, i finally had the where-with-all to update it to reflect red's passing...and the sale of the house in georgia...
also, austin-i love laughing madly out loud, thanks for the explanation, and thank you also for the deep sharing you have done-i happened to see larry king live last night and he interviewed richard cohen (and wife meredith vieira) he just wrote a book called "strong at the broken places"...a book about 5 people (including himself, he has MS) with chronic diseases... people with "disabilities and/or diseases" must recognize their "disability" is just a small part of what makes them a PERSON.
after taking care of a quadriplegic for 9 years who woke everyone morning with a smile on his face, i understand how important it is to always be as positive as you can be...being a widow may be new "thing" for me-but who i am is alot more than that, and, as you say, life goes on. and thank god for all of you-
and bruce-you are sounding absolutely terrific-keep up the GREAT WORK !!! can't wait to see you in february too!!!
love you all...diane

Hi Diane,
So sorry for your sad loss
We are from England & vacation in Key Largo every winter. We are good friends of Chris & Ted Hyde, & some of our best memories of the last few years were listening & talking to Red as he played with Ted in Sharkys & the Pilot House It will not be the same without him.

Laugh Madly Out Aloud!!!
your doing all the right things Diane x your being strong an living but at same time having those moments for grief which is good.
In hospital yesterday the consultants gave me some info about the future that isn't that hot!! I have problems at the moment still after a head injury caused by 3 guys and an iron bar last year which I have mentioned before...I have some seizures an stuff where I stop breathing an a very high Bi-polar rating etc etc these things get me down an the prospect that I will prob end up with Parkinsons too early in life......I met a lad yesterday in a wheelchair, He could barely talk or move his limbs properly. 5 months ago he was 18 and a very good rugby player his sister told me.....just like I was......now he cant walk and never will or be able to look after himself. The cause of this was falling down 1 step! and hitting his head causing sub-dural haematome (excuse spelling) (means bleed on front of brain an swelling) exactly the same injury as me an yet from such a tiny accident. I thought nothing of it for a while....got back here to parents sulking a bit about my condition. Late in the eve here I switched on hogsbreath cam an there was Bruce :) great I thought to start with.....but then I brought myself down a little thinking about the band I recently turned down which led to record company going cold on me.....I was for a second thinking how lucky he was to be there an how jealous I was having nothing right now.....then some of the lyrics broke through to me.....hearing things like "hold on" live rather than off my now worn out Itunes downloads got me thinking...Made me realise that no matter how bad things are...I'm here....I'm living....I will find new music and people and things will be ok...might not be the longest life ever, who knows, but its mine and its there around me....but that poor boy of 18 now has nothing an there was me feeling sorry for myself.
We all got to make the most of what and who we are while we got it.
Great set Bruce, not sure how you have the strength to do it after everything. Loved the Paul Carrack track "How Long" he's a great guy an was lucky enough to work with him once. Those Lyrics were actually written for a former band member that went an left them but can be turned to so many situations..... like how long haev I been being stupid to myself letting life an others walk over me. All along Watchtower great as ever sure makes me groove when you do it. Laughed at point someone gave you what looked liked Tequila an you politely had it put to one side lol I did the same to you an you gently sipped it lol Your a great guy Bruce an right now I dont think you know half the impact your having on people out here buddy.
love an light to you all

aw, gee, golly whiz-
thanks for the compliments-
i figure the only thing on this earth that i can control is my mood-i could be the girl crying in the corner (which i do when noone is looking:) or the strong- positive-survivor that i HAVE to be. my faith teaches me everything will be fine and things could be alot worse-i could be homeless, have cancer or have some incurable case of diarrhea or constipation:) god bless you garry and austin !!!
by the way-i know what TMI is but what is LMAO ??? peace, diane

Just as a little side note to the comment Gary made about "world falling out of his bottom". There has been a massive outbreak of this nasty virus which has people running for toilets everywhere lol well at this time I have to take a particular medication for my being Bi-polar. The meds I take have a side effect of seriously binding you up so its advised you take in extra fibre supplements to counter this......well.....there I was stood in the chemist asking for a fibre supplement when the chemist started laughing cos all he has seen for weeks is people wanting to stop things falling from them and there was me....prob the one person in the country without the virus wanting to help things fall from me lol

and thank you bruce for keb mo's "just like you"... you are the best...
also-garry called me tonight-filled with jokes about his recent condition-let me see, what did he say ???... oh, yeah, "hey di, you have heard of the bottom falling out of your world, well, the world fell out of my bottom" ... sorry garry- if you are going to say those things to me you better be ready to be quoted-teehee
anyway-he is doing much better - still laying down and finds it hard to write when everything is sideways...but he is definitely on the mend:)
keep up the good work bruce,

Hey everyone! great to see some giggles an fun here as ever :O) Sorry for the absence but with getting myself in trouble with the record comp I've been off doing other things an way too busy to get to a comp (broke my laptop) I hope all is well with Garry and he's over that nasty virus.....I seem immune to it.....or maybe my insides are too pickled lol.
Just to make you all smile I went to a promo for a young band last week who have their first single out....It was held in What was the "Raymond Revue Bar" a place of exotic dancers etc etc lol but one of the big lounges is great for music.......shame I walked into the wrong one to start with to find myself stood among a gang of tranny dancers getting changed!!! I escaped ......in the end....GULP!!

hahaha diane, i saw that... bruce and his groupies. But wait...time comes and you and me will be the backgroundgirls on stage...good job... we get also our groupies(mens of course).
Bruce ... broken heart what a beautiful song, never heard this before. Maybe this song came all time, when i'm sleeping?
Yesterday i watched long time.
He friends, who had seen the old twins in front of stage... so sweet,the must be over 70 years old..do all time the same things and made a really pokerface. They don't saw one time to the stage...haha, but to all the young girls. And when bruce sang "don't close your eyes" they get fire in their eyes and looked very happy.
And suddenly the white bottle for money goes down.. Bruce ask...a ghost...??

hello friends, garry called today and left a message asking me to let y'all know he is home from the hospital. unfortunately, he has a stomach virus (he said the name but i have no idea how to spell it) and has been under quarantine for the past week. he promises, as soon as he feels better he'll not only ne online to say hi-but he'll download the internet video he taped of red's service at the hogs breath to a dvd for us to review. let's all send him some "good vibrations", he sounds like he could use them. peace, diane

...and also sorry i won't see you in january...but i'll be there in spirit (i imagine red will be too:)
thanks for your kind words.
have a great week everyone, and i'll see you on the hog cam, saturday night, bruce!
peacefully yours, diane
ps-has anybody heard from garry? i spoke to him in the hospital a couple of weeks ago and ???
diane
January 6, 2008
writing this from the frozen north-seems strange to be in the white mountains of new hampshire in january, as red and i were scheduled for our yearly sail in the bahamas...we so loved our time away ... but we always carried his guitar and fiddle with him wherever we went, never wanted to take a break from music.
but the sailing is not as much fun alone, so, i opted for the warmth of my family during my time away, especially now...
...and i wanted to say hello to everyone and thank you all, once again for being so supportive.
bruce and i are working on getting the "bruce and red; live at the hogs breath" DVD out for distribution-80 minutes of the "dynamic duo"... i liked calling them "the dynamic duo of folk" when trying to explain to people how much music can come out of just 2 guys! always an incredible show!
we'll keep you informed on the progress of that...
the snow is lovely, but i remember now why i moved to florida in 1992...winter is just tooooooo cold and toooooooo long!
hope your new year is treating you well:)
peacefully yours, diane

Mark and Kathy Hanna
January 3, 2008
Bruce, Kathy and I booked our January and April vacations to see you and Red.....I hadn't checked your guest book nor heard the news.

Got to say it is amazing how some people that have been or are going through a difficult time still have time and space for compassion for others. It is testament to the kind of genuine and great people that Bruce & Red built up around them.
Hope you dont't mind a hug from a guy Gus cos here it comes!! "HUG"

January 1, 2008
Just returned to work ( and therefore internet)having taken 6 weeks off to nurse my wife through a brain tumour removal and was absolutely devastated to read the news of Reds demise.It takes a lot to make me cry but I filled up at the loss of such a talented,cheerfulland truly compassionate guy.I have absolutely enjoyed every note I ever heard him play with and without Bruce. Diane I am so sorry for you after your recent blip I had hoped for a long and happy ending.You are very strong and your reports of the services etc.make me feel very humble to have known him.Bruce I know how much you will miss him both socially and professionally and am so glad that you have found the strength to carry on. When work is done I will raise a glass to you both.Go on big man!

Right there with you Bruce ( how could someone in that position not know the Cuban Missile Crisis??!!! ....my head hurts now)

I'm looking forward to a fine new year..although some things bother me like the war, lack of a health care system, a white house press secretary named Dana who doesn't know what the Cuban missile crisis was ( I mean not a clue:that's just not right )the passing of a great musician and a great friend the 20 lbs I need to lose....My point,some things we have control over some things we don't .It's a journey, and a damned fine one at that..to all of you who are on that journey with me Happy New Year!!!!!

Diane, god bless you and your family. I know your strength, faith, family and friends will help guide you.
Bruce, same for you too, your fans will not let you down either.
"Here for the moment" has always been my sig line.
Red is not gone, he's just waiting for everyone else to catch up to him. And smiling that smile .....
December 30, 2007

I wish all friends a happy new year, let us the last minutes of this year take a look on heaven, let us send our thoughts to our friend Red on his cloud. Let us pray for him. My wish for Bruce is, that he be strong enough to come back on stage..My wish for Diane...she knows, what i wish her.. and my wish for us all... peace, no pain, a little bit luck for everyone. Heidi

Well Heidi this is what the world should be about. Strangers becoming friends and knocking down walls like language to reach out and be there for each other

Hope every one had and is having a great time!! my already widdened waist line is telling me I'm having a way too good time.
I just want to pick up on something dianne said about keeping the love and joy going everyday cos you just never know. I was having a rough time 06 with my singing career being talked in to doing too many things I didnt want to, at the end of that year I was attacked by 3 guys with an iron bar (prob drug addicts desperate for cash...they got £20 off of me!!) I ended up in hospital all over last xmas and new year in a coma with little chance of living due to a massive bleed on the brain. Well to cut a long and boring (yawn) story short I LIVED!!!! and every step of the year since has taught me new things and made me appreciate and enjoy life so much more. one of those steps was meeting bruce and red in Key West.....just 2 good musicians that I thought were pretty cool. I fooled about and drank Tequila with bruce who was a strong an fun guy but inside a goodhearted guy with lots of love. Red during a chat with him made me remember and realise what I love about music, he gave me the strenght to come back and walk out of the contracts I really didnt want to be in......ok I have no singing work right now...but I'm happy, happy watching real musicians play and reach out again, I'm looking now to find the right people to be with and do the same. I have been lucky enough to sing with some big names but in reality I dont think much of their music has ever really touched me....watching bruce and red reminded me it can be fun and real.
This time last year I could never have had the chance to learn any of this....so Dianne is right....keep going....keep living....enjoy everything as if it is the first time you are touching, seeing or hearing it, Take it all into your hearts and share what we all have within us with everyone.
Woke up so thoughtful and a bit down with history so I put on "leaving Louisiana" cos it always gets me going again....stood looking out the window watching the birds flit about....when track finished I turned to see my family all jigging about the kitchen....says it all to me.
From one guy to 2 great guys. Thanks Bruce keep on rocking man and Thanks Red cos I just know your watching us all an laughing, with that great big warm smile.
love and light to you all.

red, you are the only soul who could play the colors in my mind-love and respect, micah (this man is a wonderful musician-red played on his latest cd...i was at the recording at dave feder's studio-diane)
memory card from key largo-monica & frank
December 23, 2007
we didn't know red that well, but we always hired him & ted for our kayak events (at the caribbean club) where they were always a big hit with the crowd. he was always so talented, a joy to watch as he switched instruments and really seemed to enjoy what he did immensely.we will miss him so much and will think of him fondly as part of the music scene in the keys-up there teaching the angels the fidle as he learns to strum the harp-hey, it has strings !!!
diane
December 23, 2007
in the middle of posting these memory cards, bruce called to tell me he was on his way north-back to nashville and the holidays with his brother, clay canfield.
i'll never forget the fun we had, during the recording of the "so far" cd, going into nashville and watching and listening to bruce with clay's band on broadway...so many wonderful memories...
and i second that "big ole red smile" austin...living life and being happy is what we are here for:)...
now back to posting other people's memories...peace from snowy and cold massachusetts-where the patriots are going to start a game in about an hour...red was a dolphin fan and i am a patriot fan, hey red-don't you go making any funny-stuff with my team;-), love, diane
memory card from key west-banker brian
December 23, 2007
the last time i had the pleasure of seeing red was at the hog and i was leaving work with my boss who was down from the mainland. red stopped the show & said to everyone, "this is what you want in a banker-a guy smart enough to do your mortgage and cool enough to know the lyrics to any grateful dead song. red will be missed-brian from wachovia, key west

red was one of my favorite fellow musicians. i never got the chance to jam with him. we always said we were gonna get together, but something always came up.

Yes Diane, i saw, bruce was hard working, he gave all, soul, sound, feelings and much more. Often he touch my heart. And yesterday as he played.. don't close your eyes"
i mean he looks on Red's place...when began the solopart with the fiddel.. Tears cames in my eyes..Never forget this wonderful fiddleplayer. How hard must it be for Bruce? He and Red was so a good team.
Bruce, have a good time in Nasville.

Just wanted to say that even though I knew you were a class act before, the way you handled the "soon-to-be" married guy was great!
Merry Christmas and Happy Nwe Year!

December 21, 2007
spoke to garry yesterday-he called me while waiting for the ambulance to pick him up to take him back to the hospital-infection flared up in his foot again and he may lose part of it...so he might not be answering right away but appreciates your merry christmases and prayers...
and you lucky dog dave! spending the holidays in the warmth and wonder of key west...
give bruce a hug from me too, please:)
hopefully my trip to the orlando airport today won't end in another cancelled flight-even tho it is colder than cold outside in maine, the fires will be burning and my family will be around me, it'll warm my heart.
may god bless you all in your travels and have a merry christmas with your loved ones.

Have those pics for you and they've come out great. Get them into the post after Christmas.
I hope you all have a happyish, peacefull Christmas and, no-doubt, we'll all be thinking about Red and remembering him with a smile.

Crying is good. To cry is to
honor him.....
diane
December 19, 2007
thanks for the prayers and words of encouragement, kwi. i know most of my strength throughout this ordeal comes from my deep spirituality. i know red is ok, it is those of us he left behind who must go on with the stress we create for ourselves in this world.
i have done alot of deep breathing, more yoga and meditation than ever, and as many hot baths as one can take...and the prayers and notes help make me stronger.
it is hard to believe it has only been 3 weeks since his death- after traveling all over the southeast, it seems more like 3 months, and i guess the more time that goes by, the easier it will be.
everyone was so kind along the way, and the cards and prayers continue to uplift my spirits, and make me cry. but as garry said, crying is good, and i agree, wholeheartedly...
and speaking of garry-we can all send him some prayers for a quick healing-he had to have surgery on his foot-and i haven't heard from him in a few days so i assume he is having it taken care of now.
he said, when he gets out of the hospital he would get the "tape" of the night of the memorial at the hog off his computer and make dvd's for us.
i leave this afternoon for orlando to spend the night with my oldest son, joshua, who attended 4 of the 7 services i had for red...
and i fly to new england tomorrow to spend christmas with my sister and her husband and her 5 year old daughter abby. then on to maine to spend time with my parents and my 98 year old grandmother and a few weeks of quiet.
quiet and cold-i might add!!!
but i am truly looking forward to spending new year's eve with my youngest son, jason, a grad student at cornell university.
i am also looking forward to taking a break from all the work involved in someone dying...
i wish you all a wonderful christmas with those you love, and i when i return i will be going through old recordings and never heard (not even by me yet:) recordings of red's work. very few knew, he was a hell of a songwriter too-he just hadn't played any of his originals on stage for more than a decade.
i am so blessed to have had red in my life for 9 years. i always told him to "play pretty for me" when he went on the road. i know he is playing beautifully now...
peacefully yours, diane

Diane, Bruce...you are still in my prayer's. Red left all of us a special gift of his talent.
I missed the memorial tribute at hog's but I too will be looking for the dvd if released.
Thank you for sharing with your posts Diane. I am amazed at your strength.
lisa
December 17, 2007
Bruce & Diane,
Once again, my condolences. Although I was not able to see the memorial, I did see the show Friday night. It was quite a tribute. I could feel the love that everyone has for Red, and you, Diane, and Bruce.
I feel so lucky that I got to see the guys together at least a couple of times in my life.
Bruce, you are doing a great job. I know it has to be hard.
I will keep an eye out for the memorial DVD (if you decide to release it).
I wish you both the best. Take care.
diane
December 17, 2007
as i sit here and attempt to sort out the many boxes and bags of items collected from the georgia home last week and the key largo motor home this past weekend, i thought i would take a moment and say hello to all the bruce and red fans out there.
i have posted my address on the home page of this website for those of you who want to send cards and/or donations for the music scholarship we are setting up in honor of my loving husband, fiddlin' red.
also, want to let you know this website will remain up for at least another year-perhaps longer, depending on how things go...
and we will be setting up another website for bruce as he continues to make beautiful music.
i must also share with you, i have spent the morning putting things on the internet for sale, the motorhome and the sports car etc...
while i am "taking care of business" i am listening and watching some of the videos from the old "hot walker band" days.
wished y'all could have seen him play the electric guitar-he was a genius on any strings!!!
and even tho i was always trying to get him to clean out his stuff, i am so glad now that he never threw anything away!
i am blessed with to have so many wonderful things to remember red by...and so blessed to have everyone's love and prayers.
thank you for being,
peace,
love, diane

Bruce, never be afraid of tears as they are part of natures healing process. Soon the tears will ease and slowly be replaced by fond and funny memories of our dear Red.
I always smile when I think about the time when the chickens had baby's and they were cheeping and swarming over the stage~~Red was hopping about, not knowing where to put his feet incase he crushed one of the little buggers :>))
I don't suppose there is anyone on here that can say that they haven't shed a tear for Red, you and dear Diane but now the healing starts and we can start to smile again.
I've recorded Friday nights wonderful send off for Red and if you want a DVD I'll get it into the mail for you next week.
Keep on singing, Bruce.

Bruce & Diane
Bruce,
I don't know if you rember us. We first saw you solo at the Holiday Inn in Key Largo some years ago. We loved your original approach to the music you sang and bought your CD from Marado Bay.(Not sure of the spelling) What a surprise and delight when we caught up with you at the Hogs Breath several years later and you and Red were together. We always tried to get that front table, you know the one that said "see your waiter/waitress for seating". You might rember the evening of the Tequila shots when we all got a little bit buzzed and an amazing time was had by all. We are coming down in late January and when we went online to get your schedule we learned of Red's passing. You must be hurting and in pain but know that we are also. You and Red were the most amazing combination that we have ever seen. There is no question that when you played together there was no begining or end. The music flowed and the best of both of you flowed with it.
Diane, Jane and I were there when you and Red were celebrating an important moment in your lives and we watched the Love between you and it made us happy. Please except our heart felt condolences. Wev'e often heard the saying "When they made him the broke the mold". Believe us when we say that that was written for Red.

i'm not sure when the last time I saw so many people with the same love light in their eyes, as the memorial time for Red, in Key West, i was strengthened and uplifted by the good people that Red and Bruce attract,i am sure, where ever they go. i count myself very fortunate to know them both.
dave

It's good to be back and to see Bruce, watching folk in the Hog enjoying one without knowing that lately there were two.But its hard to deal with that empty space - on stage, in the riffs and in my heart.

I am so sorry. Red was such a wonderful musician and as said by many others, very humble. I will always remember my times at the Hogs Breath with "sweet melissa" and "watch tower."

Wow... I cant believe it what I'm reading!
I just tuned in to the hogs cam and Bruce is by himself. What a tremendous loss!!
I will always be able to hear Red playing in my mind.
Craig ans Al from Hilton Head send our prayers for all to heal and remember all the good that was Red.

December 15, 2007
diane...that's ok, let the lyrik "everything's going to be alright" in your head... it will be so. Red is watching over you and be for ever in your heart. So many people will never forget him.
Thank you Diane and Bruce that we could say good-bye Red with all his friends. You know, all the bruce&red fan's and friends will be with you in thoughts.
diane
December 15, 2007
i am so glad we were able to do red's "final send-off" on the internet so you could all be there. the musicians were all beyond-fantastic...
the lyrics of the no woman, no cry "everything's going to be alright, everything's going to be alright" keep playing over and over in my mind...
i am so blessed to have had red as my loving husband for 9 years.
his music, his love of life and all of his friends and fans (and me:) will be in my heart and my thoughts, forever.
god bless us all.
love, diane

bruce and diane,
thank you both for your strength and determination to give red a memorial service like that and for allowing me and others to take part through the webcam.
bruce, you and all that joined in sounded fantastic and though i've never met you or diane in person i'd like to tell you both how proud i am of both of you for giving red a sendoff so fitting.
as long as i'm alive i will smile when i hear red's song "back home" knowing he's there smiling :>)

what a night...
no woman no cry...saw Diane on the middlebar, tears in her face.. people on the raw bar, tears over tears. Bruce was singing, rocking, greatful. And all the guys on stage..Think Red was sitting on a cloud, happy to see lot of friends and he played the heavently fiddel.
We will missed him so much. And we will stay behind Bruce.
love to all friends...heidi

Bruce, you sounded great tonight…man, you’ve got a terrific voice.
I was looking at the photo section and it just hit me. Do you think Greg from Ft. Myers might want to drive down and do some sets with you? I was lucky enough to be watching that night when you let him play with you guys and wow did you guys click! That was a really powerful performance with the twin fiddles.
Diane, thank you for keeping us informed at every step of the way with Red’s sendoff. I’m able to participate even though I’m thousands of miles away. Thank you.

We were thrilled when visiting Key West in November that Bruce & Red were back at the Hog's Breath. We had seen them last year & were hoping they'd be there again this November. We visited the HB a few nights in a row - like many others - but were shocked a few nights later when we got back to NY and looked at this website! So sad. What a talent. What a nice guy. What a loss. We always said that Bruce & Red were the happiest guys in show business. They really enjoyed themselves on stage & their joy was infectious. To Bruce and Red both -- Be happy you've made so many others happy.

Bruce, Diane, the news of Reds passing has affected me greatly. For a guy who spent his life in an occupation that had to deal with sudden death often, I learned to shelter my emotions by building barriers. This always worked well. It says a lot of my feelings for you that it failed miserably with the news. I will always remember the smile Red wore on his face as he entertained us all. God Bless. Dorsey.

December 14, 2007
have to head for summerland key shortly for red's next service but felt a need to let y'all know
the service on the calypso gypsy yesterday morning (the boat he captained while with the boy scout program)was filled with hugs, laughter and tears in red's honor, we were married by the same captain on the calypso poet in may 1999...
the service last night at sharkey's had hundreds of people singing, crying, hugging and honoring our dear red.
this afternoon's service on the fishing boat is my next mission and then the hogs breath memorial starts about 3:30, with many people showing up after 5pm...
the outpouring of love has been monumental and is keeping me going...
one other thing i would like to share with you is one of the versuses in one of the hundreds of songs i have found in red's journal,
"i'm not afraid of going
and i'm not afraid to stay.
i'm just afraid
nobody's gonna miss me,
when i am gone away..."
i think he knows now...
thank you for your continuing prayers, love, diane

Its been a while since I've been able to leave a message so its hard to know what to say especialy when I onlt saw and met you guys for a few days...... I think all the warm words and love that everyone have already spoken about hit the target pretty well. A talented and passionate man with a smile that could make anyone give one back. I hope the family are holding in there and you as well Bruce. I shall be cracking the Tequila bottle tonight and raising one to a lost friend. Love and light to you all x

what can i say? Tears are in my eyes when bruce startet "my song".
I missed the fiddle. Bruce is strong... outside..but can see, his heart is crying. He is a profi, but who know his voice, can hear the pain... Bruce... thank you that you stay on stage...

OOOOPPS!!! The phantom 'enter' key presser is back....it shouldn't have done that!!
Just spoke to Diane on the phone and she asked me to let you all know that she has been surrounded by friends and scattered some of Red's ashes. They went out on Red's usual fishing boat and used his rod and 'Red' actually caught a fish :>)
She's just off for another memorial and she hopes to log on here tomorrow.
My heart goes out to you tonight, Bruce.

Have a good flight and try to enjoy yourselves under the sad circumstances.
Nice sentiments Clint, bought a lump to my throat!!
I hope you get to sing with Bruce.
If you need a copy of the DVD I'm doing of the memorial let me know and I'll get it in the post for you.

Nicely said Clint. I remember reading your exchange with Red about the boudain at the time and wondering what the hell it was! Seems like a lifetime ago (guess it was).
I can't catch Friday's memorial, neither there nor watch on cam because I'll be on a plane in between. Garry will catch it for me tho, won't you buddy?
Hope it goes well on Friday and God bless Red.

December 12, 2007
Dear Diane and Bruce,
I’m planning on being at the memorial Friday… I’m flying standby, but the loads look light so I should be there.
My last run at the Hog was the toughest on me since playing there on September 11, 2001. The day after we lost our buddy I closed my show with “The Dance” for Red, but I couldn’t finish it. I’m glad I saved it for the last song because I lost it for a while onstage before I could start packing up. It was so hard on the staff at the Hog’s Breath, too, as they had to keep taking orders and trying to keep the customers happy while dealing with their own grief… Red was an important part of so many of our lives there.
And staying at the Hog apartment where Red had just stayed was hard on me, too. I saved the note Red wrote to me about the boudain sausage he left for me and put it in a place of honor on our refrigerator. It gave me comfort to think that the last thing Red did for me was to NOURISH me!
I’m so glad I got to see Red’s last show at the Hog and to speak with him and you, Bruce and Diane, that night. He never ceased to amaze me with his great talent and his natural humbleness.
Bruce buddy, I can’t imagine what it’ll be like for you tomorrow night taking that stage, but know that you’ve got a multitude of loving friends rooting for you. We’re all with you, too Diane.
God bless Red and both of you. I’ll see you soon.

Found Red's Obit in the Key news:
'FIDDLIN' RED' LAWRENCE
AARON SEIDMAN
July 19, 1956 - Dec. 1, 2007
Born and raised in Wantagh, N.Y., Larry played his first fiddle in the back of his parents' station wagon. His father showed him how the bow made sounds as it went across the strings and sat him in the very back of the car for the long drive to southern Florida. He found, with lots and lots of practice, he had a gift to play anything with strings on it and left the Northeast as soon as he was finished with school. Traveling across the country, making money, making music as he went, he settled in Montana for a while and then on to the Fort Lauderdale area in 1978.
Also known as "Fiddlin' Red," his list of credits reads like a "Who's Who" of professional music. During his distinguished 35 year career, he shared the stage with famous groups such as Alabama, George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Ronnie Milsap, Willie Nelson, John Anderson, The Captain & Tenille, The Hot Walker Band, John Hall, Jonathan Edwards and many others.
He toured and performed extensively throughout Europe, South America, Russia and Cuba. Besides his virtuoso fiddling, Red made beautiful music on his mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar and bass. The grin on his face while he was entertaining made it obvious he enjoyed what he was doing as much as everyone watching him enjoyed his performance. As a staff musician for the Hog's Breath Saloon in Key West for seven years, playing on a stage with a live cam, his fans and friends all over the world would sit at their computers intently watching and listening to every note, every joke, every wave and personal greeting. He would try to make sure he said "hello" to everyone. Red played in the Keys for quite a few years. He played weekly at the Pilot House, Sharkey's and the Island Grille with Ted Hyde, billed as "Grateful Ted and Fiddlin' Red" and also at the Hog's Breath Saloon with Bruce Isaacson billed as "Bruce and Red."
In addition to his love for music, he loved traveling, fishing and sailing, spending lots of time in the Bahamas and the Florida Keys. For a brief time he acted as captain of the Calypso Gypsy, a sailing vessel in the Boy Scout program. The kids truly loved his wit, his music and his kindness. He enjoyed flying airplanes, playing golf, riding horses and lived life to its fullest. He always used to say, "Everything in moderation, even excess!"
In 1996, he decided to take a break from the "jukebox" life of cranking out song after song after song and settled in northern Georgia. He bought his property in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and worked at Gold City Corral, driving carriages, leading trail rides and being a cowboy. He began building guitars again and left us with two beautiful, unfinished masterpieces.
Red met Diane in 1998 and was going to hire her to build a house for him, but decided to marry her instead. They traveled and worked in the Florida Keys, their home in Talking Rock, Ga., and their lake home on the Suwannee River.
He always had a kind word, a smile and a handshake or a hug. If this obituary were to list the people who loved him, the pages would reach the clouds, just like his hearty laughter. We will all miss him so.
A memorial service will be held at 3:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 14, 2007, at Hog's Breath Saloon.

a quick story,
me, les and red were in a bar in hollywood,fl back in the late 80's listening to a blues band we all liked. the guitar player was in the middle of his solo when he just walked up beside les and slammed the guitar down on the bar and ordered a drink while the guitar sat there buzzing. when the player did'nt pick it back up, les grabbed it and strapped it on and played for a few minutes, unstrapped it and slammed it down on the bar beside red and went back to his drink. red picked it up and played for a few minutes, as we all know he could, came back to his stool and slammed it down beside the next guy who obviously had no idea what to do with it because his eyes were as big as silver dollars and he screamed"not me"that's when the original player came back and finished the song and the set. the poor guy with the big eyes said he was begining to think it was a magic guitar that anyone could play and we all laughed pretty hard. i for one always thought a guitar in reds hands was something magical, as far as that goes, anything with strings on it.:>)

hello-
on my way back up to the mountain home to winterize it ...I forgot to do that the day of the service-guess my brain isn't functioning all that well...
i will head back to the home on the suwannee tomorrow...
thank you all for your conerns-i am blessed with some of the most wonderful friends in the world-in fact the woman i am staying with here in atlanta lost her husband unexpectedly about 2 years ago, so god is providing me with tremendous support.
garry-i couldn't believe i actually got your phone call this morning-i don't normally have service here but was meant to speak to you, even if it was brief- please, call me again.
bruce suggested i post my address for cards and donations -
Diane Jackman
P.O. Box 1678
Old Town, FL 32680
and yes, i will be bringing the first printing of the dvds to key west-i have to get bruce's approval on the artwork before we offer them for distribution online...but will keep you informed.
i wanted to call red this morning and ask him about something...
and yes, he has been loved by so very many for so many years...i am getting emails from fans of his from the "Hot Walker Band" days, more than 20 years ago...
i take great comfort in knowing i have something many women do not have...if i want to listen to him play, i can put in one of his cds-and if i want to watch him, i can put in the dvd. and i also have been blessed by experiencing knowing my soul mate, we were meant for each other.
god bless you all, diane

We are just so sad. We don't go downtown that often, so only discovered Bruce & Red on their last trip to KW. Once we did, we went there every night. I thought it was one of the best live acts I'd ever seen. Brought all my KW friends and even emailed Boston friends about you.
We will miss the KW memorial because we are going to Boston for the holidays.
Just thought you like to know that B&R picked up new fans & friends all the time.
Our thoughts are with you Bruce. We'll look forward to seeing you in 2008.
New but Adoring fans.

Garry, what's meant to be is just so. Your intended trip to KWF may not have gone like you dreamed just for the same reasons you couldn't make it after all. None of us could have foreseen this.
Thanks for taking care of the memorial recording, I'll look forward to my copy :>)
Keep smiling buddy.

Ooooops! Sorry about the split, I must have touched the 'enter' key by mistake.
I defrosted some frozen Mackerel yesterday and went down to the harbour to visit my 'friends'.
We are lucky enough to have two tame Harbour Seals here in Poole and everyone has their own pet names for them but I called them Bruce & Red months ago as Red has a red tag on him. As soon as I beeped the horn on my chair they popped their comical heads up and barked at me before swimming over to be fed....they're both greedy little comics! After about 15 minutes 'Red' gave a bark, turned on his back, waved a flipper and swam off~~~the first time he's ever swam away without 'Bruce' and I felt slightly saddened! As I was leaving they both popped their heads up again and swam off to go and beg more food from someone else and I suddenly realised that our Red will ALWAYS be with us in one way or another and I felt better.
My only wish now was that I had been well enough to fly to KW in October and see the 'boys'.
But what's done is done :

I'm glad that you got some peace from Red's mountain service, I would have loved to have been there for you.
Do you have family with you at home because I'd hate to think you were home alone with your thoughts and memories.
I should think The Hogs will be full of B&R friends next Friday and I'll have to keep an ear out for ways of donating to Red's Benefit.
Dave, I've now downloaded the software so you have no need to worry about setting up the recording of the Memorial/Benefit as I have tried it out and have 'mastered' it...works well, doesn't it? I've already had requests for a DVD of the Memorial so I'm going to be busy

December 7, 2007
Thanks for keeping us up to date Diane. 7 sending off services ... you must be so proud of him at each and every one. I would say that you probably didn't know he had so many friends and admirers but you probably did. I've rarely seen such an outpouring of tributes and consolations - and deservedly so....
We're all still thinking of you and Bruce, hope he's getting on well in Destin and hope you're bearing up too Diane. Please take some copies of the dvd down to KW so I can pick one up next week? Actually, I need at least six copies (me, Jenny, Mike, Garry, Heidi, Greg). Thanks again Red for all the music, the fun and for being you :>)

hello, everyone,
the service at the mountain in northern gerogia for red thursday evening was heart warming (name of the mountain is "wolf scratch" not on any map.
many of his friends in northern georgia had never seen him play with bruce. we played the dvd (filmed the day they did the "live at the hogs breath cd") and they couldn't believe the energy and talent the two of them shared on stage. many friends kept saying over the years they would be down to see them, they would make it some day, but never made it to the keys.
i think things like this remind us we must not put things off till tomorrow, especially the things of importance, like your loved ones.
please, diana and frank, email me at reddisetgo@aol.com, and thank you so much for the beautiful portrait once again. i had no idea i would be carrying it around the southeast to honor him...
some people only get one "service to send them off"...i guess it is only fitting that fiddlin red gets 7 of them ! god bless us all. peace, diane

Diane and Bruce,
I just saw the news when I came onto the site to buy the "Live at the HB" CD for a co-worker. My co-worker loves acoustic guitar and I shared the CD with him.
I want to let you both know how sorry I am for your loss. Although, I just discovered Bruce and Red on a trip to KW in October, I fell in love with their music and their senses of humor!
I've been planning a trip for my birthday in March. I'll still be there.

Diane and Bruce,
We just came back to KY after a visit to KW. Michelle Kirby told us the sad, sad news about Red. How we'll miss him!
Here's a story for you, Diane (I'm the Diana who painted the portrait of Red for you). The first time Frank and I heard Bruce & Red at the Hog in KW, I was awed by Red's mandolin playing. A few months later, Frank gave me a mandolin for my birthday and I named it "Red". I've been taking lessons and have just begun learning to play "Diggy Liggy". I was really looking forward to playing it for Red (my inspiration, even though he played Diggy Liggy on his fiddle!), as we will soon be moving to Sugarloaf Key and would be able to see Bruce & Red more often. I know he'll still hear me play, but I don't think he'll enjoy it much. I'm no Red Seidman and never will be, but I'll think of him everytime I pick up my mandolin.
Our love to you and to Bruce. If we can do anything for you, please feel free to call. Michelle has our contact numbers.
Red still fiddles and picks in our hearts. Rock on, Red!

hey everyone,
its cold here in northern georgia, brrrrr....i'll be bringing red's ashes to the top of the mountain this afternoon when it warms up. cleaning out things too, gathering electric guitar, bass, etc, things i can sell to cover expenses. i could probably open up a music store. he loved to collect musical instruments, anybody need a concertina?
yes, dave, the one on the 14th at the hog would be the memorial/benefit i would love to have recorded-
and thank you for posting the weblandia links so people can see the dynamic duo of folk
-also, the dvd of "bruce and red, live at the hogs breath" (filmed the same time the cd was recorded) will be available very, very soon. and bruce played in destin last night with the "band" so i hope he had a good night. god bless us all!

My funny story.
The year that we had all of the hurricaines here in Florida (2004?)they evacuated the keys all but the residents. B & R was at the Hog. There were very few people there so they were partying with shots of tequilia and who knows what else. Needless to say the party was on early! We were watching on the Hog Cam and partying with them. Well they went on a break and they were off stage a long time. We wanted to hear more music so I called the Hogs Breath and asked the guy who answered the phone if Bruce or Red was there. He asked who was calling and I told him. He handed the phone to Bruce and I proceeded to ask him to get back on stage we were partying with them and wanted to hear more music. He laughed after he figured out that it was for real. So they went back up on stage and was still laughing and started to play. They made some funny comments about the guys in Gainesville watching them on the Hog Cam and partying. Shortly after that is when Red emailed me for the first time and we finally met. I will never forget that!!!
dave
December 6, 2007
Sure will Garry - do you mean the one on 14th December or is there another one?
Heidi, don't forget you can still see Red saying hello to Weblandia on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZz837Zg4eM
I'm going to post some more vids of the boys, possibly all of them, and try to seek out some special Red moments....
Garry
December 6, 2007
I keep thinking I will wake up soon and all this has been a really bad dream.
Like you, Heidi, I look at Red's side of the stage and I can feel my eyes start to sting~~~God only knows what it must be like for Diane and Bruce. How will it be like for Bruce to not have his buddy on stage with him??
You both have so much more strength than I think I would have although I have never had to face this situation myself.
Thank you for your mail, Diane, and I will sit down and reply tonight.
Dave, Diane asked me if I could record the Benefit for Red but I have a new laptop and I can't remember how to do it, so could you do it for her and also send me instructions on how to do it to freefall8@hotmail.com please?
My thoughts remain with you, Diane and Bruce.

try to tell a little story about red. When red and bruce at the hogs,in germany it is so late, bedtime for me. I watch them mostly til the first break. And in the first part they play " my songs " Sure, not only for me, but i feel so. And when they made the break, than red said..hello to all our friends in weblandia and he counted all the names of us. And when he said, hi heidi in germany, he also said.. good night heidi. Cause he knows, that was my time to go to bed. Oh god, how will i miss that.
My 2. story about red..
i wished to buy the cd's. But that didn't go over internet. I wrote a mail to red...and he send me the cd's.And he wrote on the Cover..for the president of our german fan-club.. Yes red... im the president and will never forget you.
And i know, red will be all time with us in thoughts.
And i want to say to bruce... the german fan-club will be all time there for you.
And diane, you be wonderful.
One thing more. Last days i try to take a look to the hogs. When i look on the stage... tears comes in my eyes, can't look on red's place. But... i will be there when bruce come back.

December 5, 2007
Diane,
I received your email today and replied. Please read it when you get a chance. I still can't believe it. The strength you guys are showing is incredible. Bruce probably knows about the guitar that Red was building for me (the guy from Georgia with the airplane). This was to be his second creation. I will miss him, his music, his always smiling face and his friendship. I am trying to make arrangements to come to Key West and hope to see you there.

hello everyone, i wanted to let all of you know i have arrived in northern georgia safely, with red's ashes. there will be a good old cowboy sendoff for red at the mountain, our georgia home, complete with a bonfire by the pond, a full PA and full screen tv with the bruce and red dvd playing at sunset (5:00pm EST) should you want to smile and join us in your thoughts.
i must tell you the outpouring of love and support has been heart warming and is keeping us going.
i also, wanted to share this with you, while i was driving i was thinking of bruce playing his first gig without his old buddy (we shared red about 50/50, 15 days each per month). i decided i wanted to give him a call for support as he has been so supportive helping me figure out what instruments are worth etc... anyway, i got his voicemail and said, "hey bruce, just wanted to wish you a good night in destin. and bruce, i also wanted to tell you i think you have the best voice of any musician i have ever known, and even tho there won't be another fiddlin red, there will be bruce and somebody and i am sure you will knock them dead...." and then i burst out laughing, realizing what i had said and added "um, i didn't mean to say that, but good luck and call me back if you want to."
well, when he called back he was laughing and said, "diane, i sure am glad you said that and not me".
and then we talked about how we have to be survivors, we must live our lives fully and laughter is wonderful medicine. the tears flow and release the pain and the laughter builds good energy back up.
if there is anyone out there that has a funny story about red, i welcome you to share it with us.
and god bless you all. love, diane

December 3, 2007
Lisa and I have just learned this terribly sad news. We were both priviliged to be at the wedding of Red and Diane all those years ago and whilst we were limited to occasional vacations across the pond, we always hooked up when we could. Red always struck us as a sincere, fun-loving and kind man whose company and friendship we will miss. His musical ability was simply an extension of his personality - fast, furious, thoughtful and with great heart.
At least we had the joy of seeing him live one last time in May in Key West with Bruce and spend a short time "catching up".
Rest In Peace Red, you will always be remembered fondly.....
Diane, you know where we are if you ever need anything.

Dear Bruce and Diane, "Taxi Steve" hit me up with the news just friday afternoon... I feel beyond sad, and I feel for you guys. The music will never sound the same without Red. So I left the Schooner Wharf bar where I heard the news and headed over to the Hogs to be there for Clint and for everyone who works at the Hogs Breath to give and to recieve support. I went to Clint, all teary eyed and told him I just found out. I told him I'll hang-out as long as I can to support him.About midway into his show, I told him he had more strength and courage than I did, and told him that I would be allright and then left. What a trooper Clint Bullard is to have performed his whole gig while in sorrow for the loss of Red. I a'm so going to miss you Red, all the fun I had promoting you and Bruce thru the years! Bruce will have to fly solo once again, but he will be o.k. and so will I. All the love and support to you Bruce and Diane and your familys,I will see you both @ the Hogs on Fri. Dec. 14th Tony M.
dave and jenny
December 2, 2007
I just heard the sad news. I am shocked and saddened beyond consolation. Red was one of the nicest, talented and above all modest men I have ever met anywhere. Diane my thoughts and heart pour out to you - thank goodness you got back together and were enjoying each other so much again at the last. Bruce, I feel so much for you too buddy, you are right on the button when you say you will never find a stage partner like Red again, but you'll be ok, you have enough talent yourself. As for me, I feel privileged to have seen you both play your shows from just feet away so many times and to have met and known such a wonderful man as Red. I'm gutted. We are back in Key West on 15th December (planned as a trip to see "the boys"), sadly a day late for Red's memorial. I hope Bruce will be on stage........

I've known Red and Di for man years - damn sad news. When I was told yesterday the only word that came to mind was "NO" and I just felt sad through and through. Red was the only person I ever met that had a perpetual smile – even during something difficult he would somehow think of something funny to lighten the situation. There is no doubt Red was an institution in Key Largo and we’ll all miss him dearly. I know I’ll always smile when I think of Red and will let his CDs keep him fresh in my mind. Di – if there is anything……

I love you both and am thinking of you! I sure will miss hearing that fiddle! Red knew how much I enjoyed hearing him play it! Red, such a sweet person, so loved, and will be missed so very much!

You're helping already..
heidi
December 1, 2007
bruce i understand you. How much must you miss him, when we missed him also. I'd never seen or spoken with red, but i missed him and i can't stopped my tears. How will i missed his wave, his... hi heidi, his good night heidi. Bruce, how can we help you?
Bruce
December 1, 2007
Most of all,I just miss my freind.....
diane
December 1, 2007
hello dear friends,
thank you all for the outpouring of love...red's absence will leave a hole in all of our lives, he was a great friend to all, a great entertainer, to say the least, and a wonderful, loving husband.
bruce mentioned a few people had called for my address:
Diane Jackman Seidman
P.O. Box 1678
Old Town, FL 32680
we are going to have a memorial for red, here in northern florida, on sunday afternoon, the 2nd at 3pm, another service on thursday, the 6th at sunset at the mountain home in georgia, a service in key largo at sharkeys on thursday, december 13th, and the final service in key west, in his old "livingroom", the hogs breath, friday, december 14th.
red and i agreed, whoever was "left behind" would travel and sprinkle ashes in all the places we loved to be together,
and i guess that would be just about everywhere...
thank you for all of your prayers and love. it is helping me more than you can imagine. god bless you all, love, diane
Bruce
December 1, 2007
That was only a reference to the technology Thank you Heidi you will see me soon....Bruce
Bruce
December 1, 2007
I'm sorry the interruption below....
December 1, 2007
me in what has been a wonderful process of spontaneous symbyosis,it is doubtful that I will have that kind of experience on a stage with anyone again....to all of you I send my love and my deepest appreciation for support through out the years...and I know that Red feels the same I'll leave you now,damp eyed but not broken....
heidi
December 1, 2007
bruce please believe, we all will stand behind diane (in thoughts and words) an if you take the stage again, we all try to help, we will missed red and we stay via webcam on your side.
bruce
December 1, 2007
To say I am in shock would be an understatementfirst I would like to exspress my love and concern to Diane and ask you all to support her with your thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks this will be difficult for all of us but especially for her.My difficulties will begin when I take the stage again and Red is not there to join
Lynne & Steve
December 1, 2007
I can't believe what I have just read. Steve and I met Bruce and Red on one of our many visits to Key West from England and loved to listen to their music. We were always watching on the web cam at the Hog. My thoughts go out to you and your family at this very tragic time. Red will leave a big hole in a lot of people's lives, he was an inspirational musician and a great entertainer and we shall both miss him.
heidi
December 1, 2007
no, no can't believe that..
diane, i be with you and your family in thoughts.
love you.
And my thoughts are also going to bruce.
Diane i pray for you, for red..for bruce.. for us all... we will missed our friend. Never forget him.
Garry
December 1, 2007
Oh my God, Diane, I am so, so sorry.
I may have been in the Airborne and a hard man in my day but I am sat here blubbering like a child!!
I was deeply saddened when you both parted and I was over the moon when Red declared that you were back together but, now, part of my life has gone, as has part of his many international friends.
I can imagine how much it must have taken for you to post the sad news and I am sat here thinking about you and your family and, not to mention, Bruce. How will he cope without his Fiddling Red??
I'm sorry but I can't say anymore except my thoughts and prayers are with you, gentle Diane.
I just wish we could all be over there for you.
Love and deepest sympathies
Garry

This such a tragic loss Diane. Red, you and your family's are in my thoughts & prayers at this sad time. My condolences.
diane
November 30, 2007
dear, dear bruce and red fans,
this is probably the most difficult posting i have ever had to write, but i know how much you all love red.
as you know, he and i were separated for a short time-just long enough to realize we could not live without each other.
we just spent the best two weeks together-he even got to be MY roadie yesterday evening and he applauded me while i spoke.
after my presentation we went to our local restaurant and had a glass of wine, came home and at midnight he had what appears to have been a heart attack...
i performed CPR, the ambulance was here in 11 minutes, but it was too late. our beloved fiddlin' red is gone.
we are all still in shock, and we ask for your prayers through this difficult time.
the keys radio station had a minute of silence today in honor of one of the greatest entertainers ever.
remember, dear friends, live each moment to it's fullest, just like red did.
love to you all, diane

good gawd, y'all!!! thank you so much for leaving the rest of the boudain for me at the hog house!

sorry i didn't help you break down again!

I found this out myself this year.
You rock!
Garry
November 22, 2007
Thank's for a great 10 days guys, made all the better by your wonderful news, Red and Diane.
Now it just means waiting for another month to go by~~at least we have Clint for entertainment. He's much more entertaining than the rest~~at least he loves what he does, as you do.
Have some great home time and I'll see you next month.

Hey Diane, glad you're back! We'll watch out closely for the newly purflung creation...
Red, Boyzone - a boy band, Irish I believe - had a major hit over here with a cover of "When You Say Nothing At All" - everyone (well, not everyone obviously!!)thought it was their original composition!
Lol, have a great last night and we'll see you next time.

My husband and I were down in Key West week before last and stumbled upon you two in Hog's Breath. We liked you so much, we came back every night!
If your travels ever take you to our small, historic gold mining town of Nevada City(near Lake Tahoe)- let us know and we will find you a place to play!
Thanks for the awesome entertainment!

Hi all
I wonder how many times Bruce was hit, at the top of the stairs, by the red headed cajun(?) girl~~~I think he still loves her!!!! :-))
Great night tonight, as they all are...mind you, the crowd was quieter than normal...Funny how the applause is always the loudest on your finale (Watchtower)!
Red...The pub I use now is caled 'The Quay'(key) and I'll be there tomorrow night if the weather holds.
Heidi....are you getting any of the nights on your computer now...it seems very quiet without you.
Hi Jenny and Dave and anyone else here in chilly UK.

After years of being on tour most people get scared when I look into their eyes!!! they can see a Tequila bottle floating in each :) The Riding sounded great man, always good to get away like that and do something fun and relaxing you enjoy. I know you'll have fun Key Largo and Bruce will have plenty of young ladies doing the 'jiggly' dance in Key West. Hope you both have a great time and good listeners. I've worn your tracks out on my ipod!

October 9, 2007
Well I did it lol!!! told the record company I just didn't want to front this band as it wasn't my style of music and my heart wasn't in it. The reply I got was quite simple "A heart doesnt make money Austin" on that note I have been dropped from all their work for now. I guess I should be upset,which I am, but to be honest I feel good cos music was once about heart, love and feelings to me not money! so its official now I have to find a band/musicians and preferably out there I think!!

Hey what would the doc know about anything lol I think the doc is just a jealous spoil sport cos they can't go!!! If you want to spend the whole flight in the toilet what would that matter cos there is always someone in it when I want to go!!! also I always book a seat by an exit being a fidget I need the space for my drinking twitches (8.5 hours is a long time away from a bar!) so you can sit next to me and we can pop the door out you can pee on the wing and then we put the door back in.......surely they cant frown at that??

Hi all....nice to see old names and even some new ones here.
Gus, were you the Scotsman that Clint was on about while on stage last week in the Hogs? Seems there were quite a few Brits on the island then.
Sadly I should have been packing for my 2 weeks in KW as from next Wednesday but my GP has told me I can't fly anymore because of my paraplegia (they tend not to have disabled toilets on planes yet) and my wheelchair would be in the hold! I suppose I could spend the whole flight in the toilet..lol.
Wonder if I can get a banana boat over to there?
Ah well, I'll get there one day.
Looking forward to the 14th....give me a sympathetic wave Red. LOL

October 3, 2007
Appreciative is one word Dave but to be honest just sitting, listening and taking the boys in reminded me what I went into music for years ago and has made me want to toss it all in to find something or someone similar to work with. I've been lucky to sing with some big bands etc but you can't beat that raw, live, personal feel that B&R get across, it does what music should do and that is to grab you by the balls and make you damn well smile and feel alive.
dave
October 3, 2007
Hey Austin, glad to see we have another appreciative UKer (I hesitate to say Brit in case you're from N.I.!) who has enjoys B&R.
Red - how much do your creations cost? Can you have one ready by December? On board electronics...?(Yes we're inbound then, definitely Mikeless this time, busy time of year in his pub).
P.S. We dream of humidity here at this time of year!! Happy purfling.

October 3, 2007
So how come the first thing I do when I get back here is rather than check on my own own stuff I'm on Itunes downloading your stuff!! it sounds good but not the same without out bruse hurling abuse or getting the ladies to dance by bouncing up and down on their stools lol
Oh well back to life now I guess! in trouble as haven't written the lyrics a new band wanted me to and not even sure I want to join with them now!! gulp!

Well made it back to the UK in one piece!! It was Great to meet you guys in Key West and watch bruce sip Tequila!! yes I said sip!! You guys sure know how to liven up a bar and give everyone an earfull of only the best!
I hope Bruce had a great 30th B'day (cough cough) sorry we didnt get over to Destin to see you at the weekend but we ended up in New Orleans for more music and drinking :) Brandi lives local to Destin so I have no doubt she will pop up some time.
Take care guys and keep on rocking.

Hi Red and Bruce...nice night, thank you for keeping me company in my sick bed~~~thank God for routers so I can have my spare laptop on my bedside table!!
Saw Clint there when you ended the night...was quite surprised he didn't help you to pack away and cart some of your gear to the storage room..but then again I don't know how many drinks he'd had :>))
Would be nice to see the three of you on stage together for a one off.
Hi there Dave...still traveling or saving up for your next trip to paradise??
By the way Red...there should be something waiting for you and Bruced at your PO box when you get home.
See you tonight.

Hey Guys, Just got back home.Sorry we didn't get to see you. We (Carole and I)found out it was bike week there at Key West when we called to make motel reservations. Figured it would be a zoo so we went straight to Fort Pierce and fished an extra day. I had no lap top with me so we didn't get to see you guys at all. :0(
We did limit out on Snook, 9 straight days so it was a fun vacation, and would have been better if we could of made it there to see you guys.
We will catch you on the next trip south.

hi red, hi garry and all who loves to get a hi from me.
It is to be terrible ( or so). Since i have windows vista, the cams stopped each 1 or 2 minutes, refreshs don't help. I'm verry unhappy that i can't see not the hogs. To watch for only 1 minute, than wait, 1 minute again is so crazy.Only i saw red for a few moments... but...wooow, i saw..red, you lost weight, looks very good.....h.

Hi again Heidi...I have that problem too but if you click on the refresh button(top of the page to the right of the address bar) it comes back in seconds.
I have sent the Vista people an email to see if it can be fixed but until I hear back I will just have to keep hitting 'refresh'.
Anyhow, hope that helps Heidi.

Just in case Dave hasn't looked it up, Purfling is defined in dictionary.com as 'an ornamental border, as the inlaid border near the outer edge of the table and back of a stringed instrument'

Thank's for the last 10 days guys. Although the place was a bit quiet ,(and hot by the looks of things) you were as good as ever. Looking forward to next month now.
Heidi..did you get the ActiveX loaded? Because now, in the middle spot, is a German guy called Gerd Rube and he's quite good. Mind you, he sounds more American than German!! He's back in late September with his band doing the late spot so you'll be able to see him when you get up for Breakfast :))
I hope everyone else out there in weblandia is OK....I'm just starting to fire on all cyliders again and it feels good to be finally back to some sort of "normality".

Hi again Heidi.
If you are having problems with Vista try joining this site for help> http://www.vista4beginners.com/
It has all the answers for you.
I am changing to a new laptop tomorrow and it has Vista Premium Home as the running system so I thought I had better find out all about it before hand.
I wish you luck and maybe with help from vista4beginners you might get to see B&R for their last night.

Hi all...yes, it seems a bit strange not having the stage mobbed in the mosh pit...no girls screaming and guys 'ye-hawing' in the back ground, just gentle aplause and the odd buck or two dropped in the tip jar! Oh for the good old days! :~{
I have the weather for KW on my 'desktop' and it makes me dream about coming to the hogs one day..we only have an average of 70 degrees here in Poole (NOT Wales...LOL) and it looks like it won't get much better for the rest of the summer...ah well, bet they would love a few days at 70 degrees in KW in this heat wave.
Hiya Heidi...so you haven't been able to watch the boys doing their thing this month?? Are you on the Island again?? What I mean about the Singing Chickens is that one of the chickens has had babies..4 I think..and they run around the stage and go "Cheep Cheep Cheep" everytime the boys start to sing ...it's really funny but I bet it puts the boys of sometimes.
By the way, Heidi and Diane...your packages are on their ways to you, as from yesterday :~))
('sigh' only another two nights of the "Diobolical Duo" to go then we go back into hibernation over here!!!)
Later all.

Hi boys...thank's for the mention tonight...sadly it was karaoke night so we only had the last hour to plug the speakers in but there was much drunken cheering when Red mentioned the Lord Nelson in the last hour. At least I had my earpiece for the earlier times but it's damned hard to listen to you and have some screeching drunk murdering 'My way' only feet away!! LOL
The next night I have the sounds to myself is Monday night so I won't go out until then but they have asked me to bring my laptop again.
Loved the Chick Chorus as backing singers tonight and last night..very amusing. Mind you, their rhythem is a bit lacking in harmony :))

Hi all, just made it back in time for the B&R 10 days....have managed to get my skin nut brown with a tan but I should think the good old British rain will soon fade it!! :((
Anyone here in England fancy a cheap cruise, I recommend P&O cruises from Portsmouth..We had 95 degrees every day and did lots of Whale and Dolphin watching..not to mention the copious ammounts of Stella Lager when the cabarets were on (every night and most days).
Now looking forward to the next 10 days when I'll take my laptop down the Lord Nelson again...you boys now have a strong Pub following here in Poole.

Greetings from the North Bruce and Red. This is Dave from Tami from Pittsburgh. We just saw you gents at The Hogs Breath in Key West (Sunday July 22nd through Wednesday July 25th) and wanted to let you know that you guys are truly great entertainers, great players and good men. It was really very enjoyable hanging out at The Hogs Breath watching and hanging out with you both. Tami and I are planning on being back to Key West in the Spring of 2008 so we should be seeing you gents in the not too distant future. If you get a chance (We know you're busy) try to stay in touch if you can.
We love the 2 CD's we bought at your show. Keep up the great work, and fun. Try to be serious only when you have to. Stay healthy and happy.
Best wishes to you both and your families.
Take good care..!!!

I've been asked to come back tonight as it's "Biker night" and the place will be full so another shout will have them cheering again.

After Wednesday we have to go back to just mild entertainers! Damn, when are they going to get a webcam in the HB Destin?
On Monday night you'll be entertaining a whole Pub here in Poole, England as I have to see my GP and will take my laptop with me to "The Lord Nelson". They have just had WiFi instaled and have decided to make it a free service to their customers, so give us all a shout in the bar please, boys.

Yes indeed, Mike's place is up and running and I hear a very successful music venue. I don't see that you have any free time though for at least a year! Guess what? We have tickets to see Ricky Skaggs here in August - hope I don't call him Shake Russell by mistake. We're also heading down to Houston in September (after the Buffett Toronto show) to see Alan Jackson and Brooks and Dunn - maybe one or both of you could give us some ideas as to some good evening venues to drop in on.
Looks like the next Key West visit will have to wait till December.
Keep up the good work - thanks for posting the pic!

Hi all...it's me...free again! Been stuck in a boring Physio Therapy centre for the last month with no WiFi!!! I managed to get a signal for a few seconds once in a while but never at the right time so I've missed most of the boys stint in the Hogs' this time...ah well...there'll be many more.
Just nice to get home and stay up late and watch the B&R show...and beer~~~nice change from a hot drink at night!!
Sadly I've been advised from going on long flights so Key West is out for me this year :>(((
Anyhow....must start to reply to many emails but I'll be glued to the laptop Sunday night.
I'll get there some day.

last night... thank you bruce and red for the lot of wonderful hours.
Harpo
April 30, 2007
LOL .... Thanks again Red to both you and Bruce. Carole and I really enjoyed our trip down there to see you guys play live. You guys played my favorite song, "Sweet Melissa". I never thought anyone could out do the Allman Brothers on that song, but you guys absolutely nailed it, hands down! Carole and I boogied back north shortly after your fantastic show and stopped at a fishing pier on Marathon, where a large group of people were out there after midnight with lanterns,fishing for Snook (our favorite fish) They had some nice ones!Top of the slot fish! We ended up crashing there in the back of the van for about 4 hours, then continued heading back to Englewood. We got back in about 11:00 am Sunday morning. When we pulled into the driveway, Carole and I smiled at each other. Both of us agreed we have got to do that again! Our next trip will be to the "Destin Hog's Breath" and then north to the Ft Pierce inlet for some snook fishing. Keep up the great work.

harpo, i coudn't believe that you with your "pregnant" wife do this turn in the last weeks. So i thought, the guy is crazy, or he will make a joke. And believe me... if you hope now , you be after a night in the hogs fit enough, to make a baby with your wife... forget it. To be in the hogs, listen live to bruce and red, must be as in heaven... and when you go after than back in your van...you can dream from angels, but don't make babys.
Harpo
April 29, 2007
Dave we had a fantastic time! All Good! B&R were really nice. Got to take a few photos with them after the show. I'm so inspired after watching them play, I'm now working on a two songs, One Titled "The Chevy Van Tumble" LOL No explaination needed. The other song titled "The Elixir Fixer" inspired by Bruce playing with a broken "G" string on his guitar last night. LOL
dave
April 29, 2007
Glad you enjoyed Harpo although memorible could be taken in two ways! lol
Harpo
April 29, 2007
Heidi ............. I have a confession to make.... My wife is 53 years old and she is definitely not pregnant. Big Smile.... I was spoofing you guys a little ... Bruce, Red and Red's wife will all vouch for that. My wife and I have been maried 33 years. We parented three wonderful kids, who are now grown up.
We got to meet Bruce, Red and Red's wife last night. What wonderful down to earth people! We did make the trip in the Van, and yes we did relive a few hippie memories, and slept in the van last night. (Bigger Smile.. 4th Child on the way?) All the Motels were booked solid.
Bruce and Red really put on a great show. Listening to them play live is off the charts! I got to watch and hear their musicianship up close. They are two very talented and gifted people! Thanks Bruce, Thanks Red for what I am sure will be one of my Wife and I's most memorible experiences. Biggest smile!
heidi
April 28, 2007

Harpo.....if they are boys you can't do better than call them Bruce and Red....(Girls? Brucette and Redina?) But all the best for you and your wife and the twins for the future and don't forget....give us a wave on cam.
All the best to all our friends around the world.

Harpo
April 27, 2007
By the way.... My wife and I are making the trek south tonight just to see you guys... ( Bruce & Red )
Hope we can find an empty parking lot somewhere or a ... whatever to pull into! My wife who is pregnant and due in a couple weeks ( ultra sound says twins), feels the 6 hour (one way) road trip is worth every penny! My van is not running to good but the air matress seems to hold air pretty much most of the time, and I got a cheap pump that plugs in to the van so we are in great shape! Yeeehaww here we come!
PS
Think Boss has any deep fried shrimp after 8:00 pm? My wife would love to have the babies in Key West! Shrimp get her going.

Keep up the good work Bruce and Red !

The site is down and you only get a few seconds here and there on the stage cam before it cuts out again!!!

R
Garry
April 20, 2007
Strange ending to a great night....first the power cuts out and comes back on again then~~~FIREWORKS???? or was it Barry Cuda after his Cosa Nostra friends??? lol
Anyhow, Red, you may not have seen my question but does the Hogs have WiFi???

Harpo
April 20, 2007
Red and Bruce..... you guys are great and may I mention.... more than likely highly under paid! Fantastic last night and again tonight.
Not to get nosey... but do you guys play in an alternate tuning on a couple of your songs? I'm speaking about guitar tunings, away from the standard EADGBE six string set up? Just curious. Keep up the great work! You guys are flat out awesome!
heidi
April 20, 2007
bruce....whats happend with your fingers? Playing to hot music? Flaming guitar? Or ring of fire?

i'm special, i'm old, but modern and i don't have WIFI.

Hi again Heidi....I didn't mean 'special' I meant 'modern' as the older laptops don't have WiFi.
Sorry if I counfused you.
Garry
heidi
April 19, 2007
oh what a wonderful idea garry.
Thank you for this information.
Ok, i stand now each second by my postcase...lol...
Garry
April 19, 2007
Hi Heidi....WiFi is a way of using a special laptop without being connected to the internet because it is done by Wireless. But you have to be near a place that uses WiFi to be able to log on~~~my hotel, The Ocean Key Hotel on Mallory square has it covering the whole hotel and the square, so when I go in October you will all be able to see other parts of Key West with my pan and tilt Smile Cam~~~~it can be controlled by the viewers...300 degrees left and right and 60 degrees up and down.
Just before I leave I will be leaving my Smile Cam address so you can all view when I am there.
Heidi...look out in your email for some happy news for you in the next few days!!!
Garry...xx
heidi

garry, please tell me..what is wifi?
Garry
April 19, 2007
Hi Guys.....yes, a lovely surprise right at the end of the evening....made my night, thank you:>))
Talking of WiFi, does the Hogs have it or is there somewhere within range so I could use my laptop in the Hogs?? Ann may not be able to come with me in October as she is just about to be elected into the city council as a junior polititian (Liberal Democrat)....George Bush she ain't...lol....and she may be too busy to have a vacation :>(((. Ah well, it'll save me $2000 which I'll get back on the insurance.
Anyhow....looking forward to tonight.

April 18, 2007

Harpo
April 17, 2007
Wow! All I can say is, that you guys play one helluva show. I had to see it and listen to it on Web Cam, but the guts of what I saw were solid and strong both individualy, and most of all collectively! The guy that came in and played "Latin Style" was a plus even though he messed up several times but htat happens when you are playing from the cuff. He is a somewhat weak singer in my opinion, but still adds to an already great sound with his strong , latin sound guitar. Red!!!! You are so strong in all aspects of the game, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, fantastic, improvisation....perfect! Bruce, you are one of a kind! I love your energy, your leadership, and your effort toward perfection. You guys are are such a pleasure to listen to. I really enjoyed watching and listening to you. You made my day!!! Keep up the great work.
Garry
April 17, 2007
Hi Guys....great to see you back..and for such a long run too.
Was very strange not to hear "watchtower" but the thing you and Dave played really got me hopping in my chair....my back hurts now....LOL
One problem though.....WAAAAAAHHHH you forgot to sing happy birthday to me!!!! Can I survive this sadness and still be the same loving happy person??? LOL
I hope you are happy now the better weather has started here in Europe, Heidi. We had it at 27C (81F) here in Poole for almost a week...and I am stuck in this house!!!
Anyhow....be happy everyone....our boys are back!!!

Hey Harpo This is Bruce to be more specific that is a Guild D-55 circa 1998.

We have just returned from our 2 week Easter break in Key West we had a great time but there was one thing missing - you guys!. We could not believe it when we saw your schedule that you were playing in Destin when we were in Key West . We had already had our flight booked for a while and a trip to Destin from Key West was too far even to listen to you guys. We called in at the Hog a few times but it was just not the same . When we got back home on Saturday 14th & saw that we had missed you by only a few days it didn't help. We were living in hope that maybe your schedule would be changed whilst we were out there but it was not to be. Seems like we can only listen via the webcam until next Easter. We plan to visit the last two weeks of March so please take that into account when arranging your dates (only joking). Hope to see you next Easter unless you get over to the UK (Manchester) before then. Take care.

If you get down there Harpo you'll all have a blast. If they're good on the cd, better on the webcam, magical live! I guess you can get a flight from Tampa? Lodgings depend on your budget but never cheap, not a bad idea to call the HB - they might have some good ideas. Hey Red, we're working on coming over at the end of May AND for your birthday... YEAAAH! (Mike and Laura get their pub on April 23rd so they'll be busy I guess)

Thanks Red....... Thanks Dave.. I'm going to give the Web cam a shot at the "KW Hog's Breath" I've been to their web-site while checking it out a few weeks ago, shortly after purchasing your CD on I-tunes. Looks like a helluva a fun place ! I'm about 6 hours north of there just south of Tampa but I'm going to try and surprise my wife with an overnighter down there. I have never been south of Marathon and that was shortly after huricane Andrew blew through, so it will be new teritory for me. I may try to bring a group of friends if I can get it put together in time, Tickets/Lodging/Etc ? I'll give them a call down there at the Key West Hog's Breath. Thanks again...... Bottoms Up to all!

April 13, 2007
dave, thanks for your usual well timed help! howdy to mike, jenny and lauwra, (i know that's not how you spell it!) we are here in destin at the hog's breath till saturday nite, and the wifi is very spotty, therefore i'm sitting in a mcdonald's parking lot in my del sol with the windows open, enjoying a beautiful day, but the smell of the french fries has made me gain a few pounds!...and hello to all, heidi, garry, neil, etc......harpo, a little more on the cd...bruce says he was playing the guild, i forgot to ask him the model, but i think it's a g-50, don't quote me on it....and yes, we'll be live at the kw hog this coming tuesday for 16 in a row as far as we know.....hope to see you all there or hear from you soon!! take care, R.
Dave
April 13, 2007
Hey Harpo, I'll let Bruce answer the q about his brother Clay but if you like listening to these guys don't miss watching them on the Hog's Breath Webcam - they'll be back April 17th, 5pm
Harpo
April 12, 2007
Thanks for the "info" Red..... on the guitars you guys used on the "Hog's breath Live" CD. You and Bruce have a very unique, special sound, chemistry and artistic blend that is rare indeed. I ran across the CD on "Itunes". Everyone I have played it for loves it! I'm extremely partial to "live" CD's. I can sit back with a brew after a hard day's work, close my eyes and imagine I'm there listening live. Bruce mentions a brother who is a fantastic guitar player at the start of the "All Along The Watch Tower" track. Does he have any music out there on the market? Thanks again.
red
April 12, 2007
harpo...i was using my taylor714ce, and bruce had a guild and a martin gte?, i'll check the model later and get back to you on which one he used...it was a few years ago! glad you like the cd...thanks
Harpo
April 12, 2007
Love your music! Bought the "Hog's Breath Live CD" Just curious what brand and modle accoustic guitars you guys used on that CD? Beautiful sounding! Keep up the good work.

Garry
March 15, 2007
Hi all...many thank's for the welcome back. I'm still not right and have the local nurse in every day but it all takes time so I'm still smiling.
By the way, Heidi, St Garry's day is the 14th of October....LOL
Great to see the boys an hour earlier as the clocks have jumped forward already in the states..all the better for Heidi as she sees an extra hour before the clocks change over here in Europe.
The emails I promised everyone will be sent tomorrow.
Sadly I lost the connection in hospital because someone hacked into the nurses WiFi account and started messing with her email and paypal accounts!! So I only got to see the boys twice but that was better than nothing.
Anyhow, Diane, Have a safe journey on Saturday and give us a wave on the last night of the boys stint...By the way, are you into Feng shui (Sp)????
See you all soon.
Garry

Bruce and Red,
Just a note to tell you both how much we enjoyed meeting you while in Key West a couple of weeks ago. Rich had to drag me onto the plane to get me back to Philadelphia...and back to a snow storm at that!! At any rate, we have more business down there in a couple of weeks so we will definitely be back to see you. You guys truly are so talented...you're the best!!
See you soon!

AT LAST!!! My pleas with the nurses has got one of them to switch their WiFi on and give me their security code to log on!! She only lives about 40 yards away in the nurses home and she's now due a very special box of chocolates....lol!!!
Anyhow....my spine is now encased in a very restricting metal and leather corset that makes me choke on bileand I have to wear it for a further 2 months!!!....ARGHHHHH!!!!
At least I can now send friends emails.
At the moment I have 2 nurses elbowing me away from the key board so they can see B&R sing "Best of my Love".
Heidi....one day your dream will come true and we'll see you there, but for now, just enjoy the melodies and songs that the boys sing just for you :)) I know I do!
Anyhow...good to be back boys even though I have to lay flat on my back!!!
All the best.........Garry

Hi Bruce and Red! Long time no see. We're suffering through cold weather here in and KY and wishing we were in KW. I (Di) may be there in February, if I can get a flight down from Naples.
Mandolin lessons are going OK, Red. I can actually play a few songs now, though not all that well. I now have caloused fingers!
Bruce, get ready. Now that I've painted the portrait of Red, I'm ready to paint one of you, too.
Note to Gary from Poole: We've been to Poole many times and really love it. We have a friend who owns a gift/ice cream shop at Poole Harbour. It's very close to the Poole Arms, if not next door. Stop by and say HELLO to Jamie, if you have the chance. He's a great guy.
Our best to you all. Was hoping to meet Diane in February, but it sounds as if she'll be in north FL. Women Ledges for all our friends!

wow-what a great time i had in key west this trip. the bruce and red show was awesome, as always, and sailing on the hot flash was FAST... needless to say, any boat dave calvert is on is going to be very fast, he's an amazing sail designer and racer and not too bad on the guitar either. many fond memories of red and dave in the bahamas, pickin' and grinnin'.
my 4 days went by way too fast-but i had fun, fun, fun! glad everyone else enjoyed it on the webcam-looking forward to seeing you there in person, someday:)
wish i could head down again in february but we'll have rentors in the cypress house and i should be here. i hate it when work gets in the way of fun:) at least i can watch the webcam along with the rest of y'all:)
have a great month everyone, "talk" to you later !
peace-diane

diane and i have sailed with dave and trish calvert for years! we have taken the green flash to the out islands of the bahamas with them and back several times..., but 2 things..the hot flash is not dave's boat, it belongs to a friend from new england...and the green flash is definitely NOT and single hand boat for anyone(except dave!)..lots of stuff happens at the wing mast as well as the helm...ok..off to the races! R

You went out on Hot Flash Red and Diane?? Damn!!!I would give my right arm to sail on one of Daves boats..his sails are renowned here in Poole. I hear he is selling Green Flash...God, I wish I had the money because she is ideal for a disabled sailor to sail single handed! (with a bit of conversion, of course...lol)
Great night tonight and also great to see both of you singing and playing with the Carters...such a pity that Tuesday is your last day.
Why do the days fly by so quickly?

January 15, 2007
maybe we'll be the official musicians for denmark! i did not recognize him, but i know he sails in the regattas down here a lot...diane and i sailed on a 28 ft corsair yesterday ""the hot flash" that my good friend dave calvert will be racing..he has world records with steve fossett sailing across the atlantic as well as many other awards thru the years...good luck to them out there this week!

Red..does the Hogs have WiFi?? Love to run my SmileCam from there ..... it's a cam that can be controlled by viewers, full pan and tilt!!

Oooh, loved the new old Dylan (Just Like A Woman) - and best version of Learning How To Love You I've seen so far.. nice one!
Any chance of getting Doctor My Eyes in the set by next month?
Hey Garry, good to hear that you're upright and painless.. best wishes to you. The only fishing off Mallory Square is to find the escape artistes who accidentally (or not so accidentally) fall in...
There are better places to fish as you will discover when you make your trip.

Eureka!!! I can sit up again without my spine exploding in pain!! Mind you, I've kept the pharmacy busy with my orders for pain killers...lol
It's such a relief to see the boys play without me being on my side ~~~ I almost expected B&R to fall off their stools sideways!
Anyhow...just to let you know I'm back in a perpendicular position and firing on at least half of my cyliders again...:))
By the way Red...is the fishing any good off the quay at Mallory Square??
Time for a liquid "pain killer" lol

Thanks Neil, isn't YouTube a wonderful thing?!
The software is called WMRecorder and its excellent. I've already recorded a Masacoustics show - want me to post a couple of theirs too?
Neil
December 28, 2006
Congratulations "wolfthedave" for posting Bruce & red on the Youtube site. Means we can enjoy them when they are not live! You got my favourites too - "Deep River Blues", "Freight Train" & Learnin to love you". What sort of software do you need to be able to record live webcam? Hopefully you'l be able to get the Massacoustics when they are next on.....

Hi all...hope you all had a humongous crimbo....sadly for me I was laid up with a slipped disc for 3 days over the holiday and couldn't even send emails but, if you're waiting for one from me, I'll catch up in a couple of days.
All I can say is thank God for pain killers and whuskey!!! LOL

Well, another year nearly over and I must admit that the friendship in this room has made it go by that much easier...thank's all :))
Funny how, for once, a guestbook becomes more of a chat room than some so called chat rooms!! I wish the world leaders would get their own chat rooms to sort things out rather than the 'blindfold kick ass' that they do now!! Sorry, I'm getting deep again~~AND I'm sober!!
ANYHOW~~Much love and peace to all friends out there and have as much fun over the holiday season as is legal....and then a little more :))
And to Bruce and Red....many thank's for the great music over this last year....just anothe 10 months and I'll be seeing the out-takes that we don't see on the webcam...I.E. LIVE!!! I might even stand you a tequilla or 2....lol.
By the way Red....if you see this before you pass Islamorada, call in and see if there is a package for Diane from me in the PO box...there's a Card in for Bruce too.
Anyhow all....at least we have youtube to keep us supplied with B&R goodies til the 7th of next year :))
Right, I'll get off and leave room for someone else.
Happy holidays everyone...Ho, Ho, Ho *hic*

WOW!!! What a night for "Big G"....if it had been me I would have been a blubbering wreck on the stage and, strangely enough, my nick name in the army was "Big G"!!! Even though it wasn't a standard B&R night it was still very emotional~~~I even switched the TV off!!
I know "Big G" is ill....I presume it's that nasty 'C' word....but I hope we can see more of him for a long time to come. Sadly that 1-800 number doesn't work from the UK or I would have bidded on the hat.
By the way Diane...yes, I sent it through to the PO box in Islamorada and it should be there by the time Red passes by...hope you like it :)
Anyhow....night all

Following up on your lead Neil, I decided to delve into the youtube arcives and found my favorite singer, now sadly lost to us, John Denver playing with The Nitty Gritty Dirt band and singing a song that is seldom heard, it's on
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKjc8jyO0a0&mode=related&search=
Try it out, Red, It should play even on dial up, although it might take sometime to download.
I really have to dig deeper into youtube....Hell of a site!!

thanks red. The last days are the lights on stage very dark.
We can be thankful, that on your homepage are pictures, so we know how looks your faces.
Maybe the spots must hang little bit deeper?
Oh and i heard, you had a new sound yesterday..with drums...
rain was knocking on the roof.lol
In germany it is also rainy, windy and cold. Time to have a "dead aunt", that is hot chocolate with whisky or rum and cream on top. Or if you like coffee, you can take a "pharisaer", this is the same as "dead
aunt" but with coffee. First comes a little glas of whisky or a good rum in the cup, then very hot coffee or chocolate and at last cream. Don't stir up that.
wish all friends a good 3th.advent.

Yeah, I saw that clip on YouTube too. It's a great site - we should get some more from the Hogs posted on there.
Garry, I still have a roof here but I here there was a tornado that hit a part of London! Whats happening with the weahter? Or even the weather! I missed the pipe band which was a shame as I was probably in my bed.
Very much enjoyed The Massacoustics , it's a shame they couldn't play for longer. Just how does he play that bass guitar with one hand?
Just getting ready & looking forward to a wee bit B&R before I head to bed - this time difference thing is a damn nuisance! Later.....

Well..here we go for another 10/11 days of great music....I don't know why but the break, this time, seems to have dragged out longer than others! Maybe it's because it's been too cold and stormy for me to go fishing so have been reduced to watching the dreaded TV! LOL

Hi all from hurricane hit England..we had winds at over 100 mph here but I heard that Scotland got the worst of it so I hope you still have a roof over your head, Neil!!
Hi Diane & Red...just been reading your reddisetgo site...what an idylic life you have when you're not travelling. And all that lovely painting!! :>( I'd give my right arm for some painting in Paradise......Hmmmmmm...I'm right handed so maybe you'll have to take my left arm! LOL
Diane...If I can work out how to do it I'll send you an MP3 file of a hillariously funny version of The 12 days of Christmas. It's done by an Irish comedian and has me in tears every time I hear it. If anyone else wants the file I can send it on...when I find out how....LOL
Were you watching the Hogs at 3 this morning, Neil??? They had a full Pipe band march into the bar and they stopped to play for about half an hour~~~sounded great but a band in kilts (I couln't make out the tartan) AND baseball caps???????!!!!!!! Most strange!
Anyhow...That's enough of my ramblings but I must say, Diane, I look forward to meeting with Mike...two disabled vets together!! My God~~they'd better start stocking the bar up at the Hogs a month before I get there!!!
More soon friends.

thanks for the explanation, heidi-i am not aware of this way of celebrating christmas, except through the church-i was raised catholic and i believe the sunday masses in december were called the advent masses but it was not carried over into the general public for celebration.
we have the song-the twelve days of christmas but i don't know of anyone who actually celebrates them, either.
i believe red and i will be celebrating our christmas day on the road-driving towards our home in northern georgia, but we shall see.
hope everyone else's holiday plans are coming together nicely...HO HO HO:)
and in the meantime we can look forward to bruce and red playing at the hog very soon:)
oh-and a happy 1.advent to anyone who celebrates it:)
love, diane

anyway-looking forward to the book garry, glad to hear you are doing well and i'll see if i can schedule a trip for mike and i to go to key west and we'll coordinate our dates. my boss, mike, is 95% disabled and has done some snorkelng before so i'll check it out.

Hi Red and Diane...thank's for saying 'HI', Di :>)) Am feeling almost 100% now and am waiting for the go ahead for my trip over to Key West in November in 2007...my cardiologist says that if I stay settled, health wise, for the next few months I'll be OK to fly over..Yaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!
What I want to know, Red, is how much does it cost for a day out on a boat fishing??? I am longing to fish while dressed in T shirt and shorts again and I want to catch another Dorado/Dolphin fish/Mahi Mahi...what ever you call it! A great fighter and tastes fabulous!
I would love to do some snorkeling and even hire some scuba gear if they don't mind someone who is 90% paralysed!
Anyhow, I have my sights set on your dates in November 2007 so I hope to see you there too Diane :>)
And HI Heidi....thank you for thinking about me when I was in hospital...also thank's to all that gave their best wishes..I felt so much better when I saw them! God Bless friends and maybe we'll all meet up one day--who knows :))

Looking forward myself to a Saturday night of B&R entertainment. Have a good night all and - as always - a friend of the devil is a friend of mine (if I get home before the daylight....)

Hi all....I fell asleep at 9AM on Friday morning and they left me to sleep til 5 this morning (Saturday) so I missed the show :((
Apparantly the nurses kept popping in to watch the show on the pretex of checking on me..LOL...the lying little hussies!!!
Can you give a mention to Sister Margaret and nurses Joy, Amanda and Carol and the overworked doctors who also pop in to watch the show..David, Trevor and redoubtable Doctor Poppadom !!!! LOL...I can't pronounce his name!
Looking forward to tonight and It now looks like I'll catch Mondays show at home...YAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!

Hey Gaz, good to see your doing well & keeping an eye on B & R! I'm just home from my local pub in Auchendinny, yep it sounds way up in Northern Scotland but it's only 8 miles out of Edinburgh! Havin some hot Scotch Broth cos it's frosty here! MMmm! Good to see Red pickin again....I cant get "Sweet Melissa" outta ma head!!
Garry
November 16, 2006
Hi again Diane
Thank's for that...watched the show tonight with the odd nurse flitting in and out and thank you, B&R, for the wave. The nurses were quite surprised at what a computer can do nowadays and have all taken the URL of the hogs and also the B&R site.....you've got new fans guys!!
I had a nursing auxillary (CandyStriper)constantly coming in to see if I had taken my sleeping tablet but I think the real reason was to watch the boys because she stayed for up to 15 mins each time!! LOL
Anyhow....I tried to ring and thank you both but your phones were off and now they are insisting I get some sleep because the day shift come and wake you at 7 in the morning to take your tablets and then it's doctors rounds....I'll be pressing out the zzzzzzzzzzzz's for him so I might get bypassed~~I HOPE..lol
Right....got a rather irate nurse hanging over me with my tablets and a drink so it's to the land of Nodd I go....Night all.

Bloody Hell....did I type all that?? No wonder I feel tired..lol.

November 16, 2006
Hi all...head lame duck here :>(
First of all...many thank's for your thoughts and prayers....it made me feel so much better when Anne told me.
On Tuesday afternoon I started to feel a bit 'iffy' with what I thought was angina so I got up to get my GTN spray from my desk---and that was it---someone had wrapped my chest in an iron band and was tightening it!!! I went down on my knees and another crush hit me and I ended up face down and realised what was happening!! By then I was in tears because I live alone and didn't have my "Lifeline" pendant on and I was too far from the desk to reach my 'phone! I know it sounds over the top but I realised that the grim reaper was knocking on my door and I had no way to tell him to p*** off and then, miracle of miracles, darling old Anne was early to take Charlie out and she took one look at me and my color and phoned the ambulance!! The doctors told me that if she had found me 10 minutes later I would have died! As it was, they got to me in about 5 mins flat and scooped and scooted!
Anyhow..to cut a long story short..I had an angioplasty with a stent (my third) done that same night and am on an I.V. GTN (nitrate) drip and am starting to feel better, although I still get tired quickly.
Anyhow....thank God Anne got there when she did and also thank God for friends like you....we've never met and yet it feels like we are all one big family!! Bloody Hell...my eyes are leaking again!
Red and Bruce....I told the night nurses about you and they are going to come and watch you both tonight when it gets quiet so please give them a wave and sing something bouncy (some of these nurses ARE bouncy too, LOL). I'm one of the lucky ones who have a single room so can have the speakers on the laptop on, although not too loud.
I've got my Cell phone with me so will ring tonight if you leave your phone switched on.
Am feeling tired now so gonna snooze my lunch off....Bloody hospital food!!
See you tonight my friends (why do I keep blubbering???)
Once again....many thank's
Garry....xxxxxx
Anne
November 16, 2006

November 15, 2006
I have just got back from hospital and Garry had heart attack but has had angioplasty with, the doctor said, a stent....I am sorry but my english is not best!
He should be OK now but doctor said he might have operation later.
Garry want me to bring this coputer to hospital but doctors say he must rest. Charlie know there is something wrong...he is crying.
I will write again tomorow. thank you for good thoughts and prayers.

before you see it....there's an indication of their meddling....my typing just disappeared as I was typing it and ended up on the site!!!....
Have found a map of the UK and Germany and I'll mark on it where everyone lives and then send it through to you so you can see where we all live....if you print it out you can put a "pin" to a place everytime a European says he listens to you!...Sorry, am I getting too deep?
That's it Garry.....ZZZZZZZZZipp!!
Garry
November 14, 2006
Hiya Red....yes, someone is posting massed URL's that are consecutive in so much as index numbers are from one to ten....each one was for some kind of Google site but I don't have the knowledge to be able to do an ISP search...anyhow....whoever it is is wiping the site befo
red
November 14, 2006
if someone is posting strange stuff on here it dissappears before i see it! (invisible ink?) so, garry, i have no idea what your a....hole comment was about..i'll see if bruce will play the george jones tune tonight...and we DO have people in wales that listen as well!! thanks for the coastal info, though...ok everyone, have a good day, see you tonite...R
Garry
November 14, 2006
Heidi....don't worry....it was from a long time ago so now I can smile and remember the good times we had but it is always good to think of them and that song does that for me..I am never sad when I hear it...I just think of Julia laughing and playing in the sea!
Bruce, Red and Dave were good together but it is the pure Bruce and Red sound we love....I only wish Red would sing more because he has the deeper, gravel voice to carry some songs like Tennessee Stud...etc.
"Our" boys are back tonight....let's be happy. LOL
Diane...as you like Chinese yoga do you also like Chinese astrology??....With Christmas coming I thought I might send you something. (probably won't get there before spring!!)
Please let me know.....G.
heidi
November 14, 2006
garry sorry..don'nt know that.
Diane, long tome to drive..2 hours more are a fly from Kopenhagen to miami..
Red and bruce, playing with dave..hmm,ok...think, musiker need sometimes a fresh wind, or a god session.. but now please back to the roods, your own sound is that what i like to hear.
Garry
November 13, 2006
Awwwwwww....I must have missed you, Diane, because I never saw you :>(((
I must say that Dave playing with the boys really grows on you--OH to have HALF of his gift, for a gift it surely is!!
I'm planning on coming to the Hogs this time next year and I'll be bringing my Bodhrun (Irish knee drum that's used in fast folk music) so I hope I'll be able to sit in with you once or twice.
Red....please...I live in Poole in the county of Dorset on the south coast of ENGLAND....Largest natural harbor in the world with 120 miles of coast WITHIN the harbor!!! It's very olde worlde like Key West and even has its own 9th century castle.....enough of the geography lesson already!!
Hi Heidi....I love that song because it happened to me but in reverse....my Fiance was killed in a car crash 30 years ago and yet I still have her letters and photos!!
One day I'll throw them away but, for now....well, who knows.....
Garry
diane
November 13, 2006
wow-what a great time i had in key west the last couple of days/nights !!! definitely worth the 10 and a half hour drive to party at the hog with the boys...i agree with you garry, dave's fabulous pickin certainly made the bruce and red show VERY DIFFERENT...and tonight is his last night in town so the bruce and red show will be back to the dynamic-diabolical duo we all love. ...and thank you heidi for the lovely compliments- i enjoyed saying hi to everyone:) wish you all could have been in key west with us-too much fun!!! enjoy the music all:) later, diane

November 13, 2006
I wonder what the A**hole who keeps filing these stupid comments and listings is trying to prove??? Apart from showing himself for the brain dead moron that he is!!!!!
Anyhow...back to the land of the living!!! Last nights sessions with Dave made a vastly diferent sound, NOT better but somehow totally different! I enjoyed it as a one off but will be glad that the Diabolical Duo are back tonight.
By the way....can you play "He stopped loving her today" tonight??
All the best....G
November 11, 2006
Wow!! I second that, Neil. Great start to the next 10 days and seeing my baseball caps over there was an added bonus :>)
Dave has certainly got some nimble fingers...bet he'd be great doing Dueling Banjos! How the hell can someone coordinate right and left hands so quickly??
Anyhow...great to have you back. G
Neil
November 11, 2006
Hey guys...Fantastic first night - first time I've been able to watch you till the end! Been watching Dave Edmiston playing all week, It was great he was able to play with you guys - reckon Bruce, Red & Dave has a good ring to it! Try & get him to get his telecaster out 2moro night as I think that would add a cool sound! Good to see you back at the Hog & be good to see you do some fast fingerpicking to see if Dave can keep up! hehee
Heidi
November 11, 2006
red, your diane looks so pretty...
oh yes you and bruce too, with the

Garry
November 4, 2006
Picked it up yet, Red? I'm trying to figure out who'll have what...as you're Red I should think you'll have the red one..or you may want a change and have the light blue one...now THAT'S got you thinking if you haven't picked it up yet :>)
But I want to see you with them on cam next week :>))

October 30, 2006
Hey guys. Just been looking at YouTube and wondered if anyone had ever seen Albert Lee? I saw him play a long time back in Edinburgh. Have a look:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqcUBdNaHq8&mode=related&search=

Hi guys.....I bet you're glad you didn't have to "work" this last week....I have never seen so many folks on Duval street tonight (Saturday)~~~It reminded me of Mardi Gras in New Orleans!! Even Clint got drowned out and had to finish early with 20 minutes of his set to go! As much as I long to be over there in KW I don't think I could cope with Fantasy Fest seeing as I use a wheelchair ~~~~~ nope, I'll be over there this coming year but when it's quieter :>))
Looking forward to the 11th...see you both then...G

Thank God that you've got rid of him, Red, many thank's!
And also many thank's for the last eleven nights..at least we have Clint to follow in your foot steps ~~~~~ I couldn't bear another few weeks of Barry Cuda!!
Heidi...if you want to see a lot of waves from the Amerikanische Touristen go to www.liveduvalstreet.com/ because they have made the cam into a streaming cam where it is live all the time....you can see all the drunks waving at the cam after the bars close (8 o'clock in the morning in Germany)~~ Some of the thing's they get up to after a few Jagermeisters or such like are a real laugh!! :-)))
Red..don't forget to check the PO box in Islamorada before you start at the Hogs on the 11th.
Hope the 4 of you enjoy your time off...G.

October 21, 2006
oh, i thought we were supposed to wave at the computer screen... you mean they can't see us ???
LOL...
big hugs back at you, heidi, and i agree with you. music, smiles and waving is much better than armies of soldiers, now, all we have to do is figure out how to get that message out!!!
enjoy their last night at the "hog" for this month and have a peaceful weekend everyone:)
see you soon, red:) love, diane
heidi
October 21, 2006
hi garry, do often the same, after than i think... crazy heidi.
But it is a good feeling to see how kindly be friends far away to us. No bush, no blair, no merkel can do so much for peace as music.
And if musiker so as bruce and red waving to friends round about the world.. that is a form of peace for me. Bruce and red don't need a armee of soldiers, no, they need their voices and instrumentals and a big heart. Thats all... peace for all around the world.
Happy Weekend, thanks B&R and a big hug to diane.
Garry
October 21, 2006
Dohh!!!! I just caught myself waving back to you, B&R, when you said 'HI' to us over here in Europe and you waved....I'm either tired or just plain cracking up...LOL.

Be with you again tonight.

hey garry, yes, i was so happy when i clicked on the cam (for the thousandth time) and there they were...yes, i get a thrill of pride, of joy and of appreciation of good music when i listen to red play, especially with bruce. i wouldn't consider red my own troubador though, he rarely plays for "just me". www.reddisetgo.org is a site i started back in 1998 when we first met... and it died a few months ago...i am not an accomplished "webster" and tonight managed to wipe it out of existence...then drank a beer and came back to the computer-the hog cam came up, i uploaded reddisetgo again and it came up and all is good in weblandia, for now. enjoy the boys !!! i am:)-diane
October 18, 2006
Hi Diane
I was just going purple from holding my breath and the cams came back on on the stroke of 6 your time!! LOL
Go on...what's this reddisetgo site...is it yours and Reds site?? Must go asearchin'.
I wonder...do you get a thrill of pride when Red's playing? It must be great having your own Troubador.

October 18, 2006
double arghhhhhhhhhh !!!
i just sat down to work on the reddisetgo website and listen to the bruce and red show... guess i'll have a beer and listen to the silence of my speakers and see if anything happens-with the webcams and/or my fingers... i too, hope it is fixed soon, we are missing the fun...diane

diane i saw it, but need a time to know, who is this guy. Yep red looks very proud, bruce hmm, looks cool. Than i remember a song of jonathan edwards..little hand..like this song. Great, but really diane, the booth guys, B&R be always great, Shure that was a great honore, but if B&R be not sooo good, think, jonathan edwards don't play with them. So it is a great compliment from J.E. to our guys. Hope that i really wrote this comment right and nobody missunderstand me. Will only say...if elvis be alive, he would also play and sing with B&R on this stage. (ovo)
dave
October 18, 2006
I was going to record the show but didn't get round to it so missed it. We should have been given some advance notice! Glad it was good and the guys had a great time though.

ps-i forgot to say-you both were outstanding:) WAY TO GO !!!-diane

October 17, 2006
i sure hope some of you out in internet land got to see bruce and red play with jonathan edwards tonight...well, i guess, technically, jonathan edwards got to play with them on their stage...but i know they were pretty excited about it...and i heard red say he was honored, and i was so proud. i grew up in maine and jonathan edawrds used to come and play at my college often...and james taylor, and seals and crofts-oh-oh- i am dating myself-anyway, i still have goosebumps from the show tonight guys-it was wonderful. and if anyone wants to donate to the AIDS Help Inc jonathan says to go to www.AShipofFools.com - so
glad i was watching, thanks, guys
love, diane

Hi again Red..no, my phone bill is miniscule because I have a deal with my 'phone company (NTL) where I only pay 3 cents a minute for calls to the States. I used to have a fiance in Fort Lauderdale and I shopped around for the best deal and found it with NTL. It's actually cheaper for me to 'phone the States than it is to call my friend who lives 200 yards from me!! :>))
Anyhow...look out for some ground floor accomodation for me, won't you?
See you tonight....G

October 16, 2006
is that doug with a spelling issue?...:>)Hoo-ah back at ya! heidi, we'll work on that for you , but bush doesn't listen to anyone else, so i doubt we can help there!! and garry...isn't your phome bill getting a little high calling us each night!? good to hear from you(and mike and dave, got your message as well..it was fuzzy over there, wasn't it?!)...happy monday, hope to see you all tonight...R

how about a charter flight over for all you folks?...now wait...we can't pay for it :>).. but you all need to follow the sage advice from the "must have beers" (btw , the "2 must have beers" as far as i'm concerned,unless we have a guest appearance!).....and to wet your whistle more...my buddy lance and i ( and his girlfriend. gina)went for a little boat ride and dive today...we caught 13 lobster in about 2 hours...it's a hard life down here, but we'll be o.k. !! goodnight..R

Thanks for the name check tonight guys! I'm over at Dave's house watching a great set - can't believe it's only three weeks since we were there in the Hog watching you live! We don't often get to sit and watch you on the webcam together as I've moved 100 miles away. Anyway, we're well into a bottle of wine after a few boat drinks and planning our next trip back!!! See you soon. Mike & Dave with a big hello to Heidi, Garry and all the rest - when are you guys going to come to the island to see Bruce and Red with me and Dave??!!
Heidi
October 14, 2006
while bruce was drinking his scotch ,red take the time to say hello garry,hello dave, hello heidi and so on.Thank you red for this greetings, thank you bruce..for this break. Uiiii, what a sound from the bikes, my dog run to the door, checking ..whats that...

October 13, 2006
Nice night guys...such a pity it flies past so quickly. Sadly I had to miss Thursday night as I was slighty out of range of a WiFi hotspot so I couldn't go on line. When I say out of range, I mean 25 miles out to sea in the English Chanel!! I caught 67 pounds of Cod, Ling and one damned Conger Eel and the whole lot went to an old folks home as my freezer is full and I just enjoyed the fishing~~~pity we don't get Dorado here or I would find room in my freezer. MUST get to KW!!
Anyhow...thank's for another great night from chilly England (54 degrees at night!!)

no,no, that was not the right show with this stupid girls. Think the hog's is not a night-club, don't like to see chippendales (arrrgh) and not topless girls. I like to hear the music, like to see and hear how a song from normal 4 minutes get higher and higher til 8 minutes and more, the small talks from b&r. Thats why i stay in the midnight on pc.
Garry

Nice to have you back, guys, and nice to chat to you both on the phone again. Your session seemed to fly by--as usual!!
Did I see right...two girls dancing topless on the stage at 1:30 your time???? We need a pair of topless girls for the B&R show and, just for Heidi, hi Heidi, a pair of Chipindales to tickle her fancy!!! LOL...I must admit, they were both in good shape!! Never happens like that over here sadly :>(
See you tonight boys.
