Looking at him reminds me of something. Remember the band, “Heart”? The Wilson sisters, Ann and Nancy? Ann sang, Nancy mostly wailed on guitars. Back in the early ‘80’s when MTV first took off, it was rock and roll and killed music because if you didn’t have a neat and cool video to go with your rock and roll music, your music didn’t get played on the radio because it didn’t have a video to match it on MTV. So, like any other band, there was Heart whom made their livings and entertained us off of rockin' and rollin'. At that time, Ann was putting on a little weight, so per her Nancy, the video producers were dressing her up in dark clothes, mostly black to try and hide her weight, make her more presentable for video eyeballs, not ears which are what really mattered and it was affecting her attitude, morale. Years later Nancy addressed the issue of…MTV and what MTV did to screw up music. “It’s about the f-ing music”, said Nancy…correctly I might add. She would know, she talked me into buying a midnight blue Strat to add to the fleet when I was stationed in Germany. That old blue guitar and amp up on the anti aircraft gun mount left over from WWII still on roof top of our Luftwaffa barracks more than once after a few too many Eichbaum biers with the First Sargeant yelling up at me to get my ... down from there. Top, was a great guy but I pushed even his patience to the limit a few times. Looking back on it, he probably should have just signed an M16 out from the armory and shot me off of the roof top. The world would be a smoother place for it. Grin.
Anyway, thanks for sharing, and thanks for the memories. Its about the...music.

His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
