<div><font size="3">And Roger Miller seems like a necessary one whenever I return tto the Convention, lol!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">I enjoyed sneaking in The Allman Brothers, seemed like a nice rocking surprise that fit the topic, and the song goes back to the Depression 1930's!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Did you listen to Delaney & Bonnie in mono?<br/>That would be my only guess since it sounded alright on everything I played and heard it on.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">And the Golden Pell goes to Tom Paxton!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Well deserved by him, and I think he should win it again in Part Two, lol!</font></div>
<div><div><font size="3">Thanks for the listen and writing,</font></div>

<div><font size="3">Well Stephen King places many of his stories in New England, wonder which you were thinking of?</font></div>

<div><font size="3">They're gone, so are yours.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">Now that this show has scared the hell out of you I should just say l</font><font size="3">ighten up with the food and trains- it's more likely the economy will crash and then you'll starve, lol!</font></div>
<div><div><font size="3">Have a friend I took to the hospital and is still there, an infection spread to the bone, four IV's in him, and they removed a toe.</font></div>
<div><div><font size="3">Reason I mention it is because I have been going to his house sometimes twice a day feeding his cats, paying rent & bills, etc.- 7 days a week!</font></div>
<div><font size="3">It's over a month and a half and I am beat and behind on everything!</font></div>
</div>
<div><font size="3">Now he has to go to rehabilitation for 2 weeks.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">It's why I am playing re-runs, no time or energy or patience for new shows.</font></div>
<div><font size="3">But I am trying for a new one next week.</font></div>

<p>Well bro, you're back so I'm back. I know you've done stuff before regarding hobos, but I feel like this is a new show. Is that correct?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Anyway, Tom Paxton and John Prine to kick this show off. Nice use of two staples to open. And Roger Miller. Always a cool song (King of the Road).</p>
<p></p>
<p>And I tell you, that Indigo Girls song was very good. Rambling 'Round I think you said. </p>

<p>I don't think you'll get an argument from anybody playing The Allman Brothers. The guitar on that song (well, all of their songs) is so good. </p>
<p></p>
<p>The Delaney & Bonnie song was okay, but I could barely hear it. Must have been a low quality copy that you have. Who knows? </p>
<p></p>
<p>And for the moment I know you've been waiting for, the Golden Pell goes to......Tom Paxton. That was a very cool song.</p>

<p>Was this a repeat? Could swear you've done a hobo show before.</p>
<p>Still, this was an interesting show, but why is it that everytime I hear "Bangor" mentioned, I think of Stephen King? There's gotta be a reason.</p>
<p>This show made me want to hit the rails but, sadly, there's no more rails here. A few years ago they stopped the trains that came thru, even got rid of the train that had one of those mystery shows. Now the tracks are paved over and I never hear the mournful train whistle…</p>

Now the tracks are paved over and I never hear the mournful train whistle early in the morning. How do we get food without trains? Are we going to run out of food? Should I prepare? </p>
<p>Now that I think about it, this show has scared the hell out of me.</p>
