Fantastic Concert

One of the best concerts I have been to recently was last nite at the Rogue Valley Theatre...Montrose played all his best old stuff & his guitar sounded amazing. We sat in about the 5th row, next to the aisle-great view-tons of people in front of the stage-Its a small venue but it felt like there were thousands there. The sounds were so loud-the acoustics so good-my ears are still ringing 24 hours later-wow. The new lead singer Ronnie had was very good-I was impressed. When we first went in we were told hang on to our ticket stubs cause there was a raffle drawing for a guitar autographed by Ronnie himself so that was also exciting. My friend from work was there-& I was able to spot her & say hi real quick,my bofriend was in a hurry to get a good seat. We were on our feet from the first lick to the end 2 hours later-my hair was soaked with sweat-wheeeee! Got some good pix too. Then at the end...the raffle & unbelievabley-WE WON!!! A brand new guitar with fucking RONNIE MONTROSE autograph all over it-and a signed pix of him too! Just the most exciting thing to happen to us in...oh ,ever, I think! It will supposedly be delivered in 10 days ... unless it was a dream-heh! Just fucking fantastic I say-we are sooooo lucky-if you can get to see this guy-well-he is as great as he ever was-dont miss a chance to go. And our tickets were only $20 each-oldtime prices for sure. I am so excited to see the guitar-I still can't believe it.

Lisa - Gopher Queen

Sooooo, it looks like once a year is all I am good for, for now...hopefully someday in the future I will post more often. In the time that I have right now though, I want to pay another tribute to another member of my family who is gone. Lisa Marie, Gopher Queen,loveable,gentle,low maintenance dog of the ripe old age of approximately 17 years wandered off a week ago & never returned. We have looked & looked to no avail, & I am sure now she is waiting for us in the clearing at the end of the path, happiness & youth on her face,tail wagging, everything about her saying "lets go! run up over the hill & jump in the pond with me!!" She never learned to fetch a stick, nor did she ever show anything but lovingkindness to her human family. She could dig out & eat a gopher in minutes, & once she killed a baby raccoon...oops! She was white & covered in black spots & gave birth to over 60 pups before we finally got her spayed. She was a very good dog. We kept one of her last litter-her name is Timber. I wanted so much for her to die near us,warm & loved but it was not meant to be,even at the end she was low maintenance. We shall love & miss & remember her forever.
