I would have loved twenty cents a bale. We hauled it for ten cents, which was split four ways.

No recollection of any reward for loading and stacking hay beyond being around horses. What I do recall most clearly is the horses' watering trough. Do some fool thing around the stable and it's right in the watering trough for you.
Wow! The Detroit Tigers are on a local antenna tv broadcast this year. I'm very surprised. Had to listen on the radio the last couple of years. Nice!
pretty sure John prine had a lot to sing about statistics
Horse farms have been downsizing in recent years due to the lack of affordable horse hay and alfalfa. Some farmers have been shipping long distances to sell their product for higher amounts leaving locals scrambling.
love the todd snider statistician blues too
Maynard and da' bois played at my high school in '73 or '74. I was in stage crew so we did the lighting, sound, etc. Spent time up in the catwalks above the band during the show.
Don't believe in left-overs of the fullVague disappointment hangs over my being as I notice the menu at the brewpub offers no half-portions
EDIT: the keyboard screwed up the letters, again!

I was fortunate enough to see Maynard live 5 or 6 times. Some of the best live performances I've seen including the CSO. Everyone of the members of his band were outstanding musicians.
Sadly, young people will never have the chance to experience that. I couldn't imagine how much it would cost to assemble and tour with that many stars. Trying to do that is a sure, one way trip to the poorhouse.
We went to Busch Stadium a number of times when we live in StL. Good seats, loge level, shade, 3rd bass line (see what I did there?), tickets about 7-8 bucks. We enjoyed it most of the time. but a 1-0 ball game with nothing much going on is pretty boring unless you're with about 20 of your coworkers in a reserved party room, with food and beer. Most of the time those visits ended up like "Was there a ball game today?" "Who played?". One of the visits was extended to a bar across from the stadium. Let's just say we were having a good enough time that the bar owner ran us off and closed early - on a Saturday. Some folks went to another bar across the street. Mrs GT and I went with my boss and her husband to McGurk's Irish Pub and continued the activities. Can't say we remember much after that but we must have made it home okay. The following Monday, someone made this form to be filled out.
We miss hanging with those guys and gals. Most of the time it was fun at work, too. The whole subsidiary was about 1000 people scattered over five states, everyone pretty much knew everyone. Dysfunctional family is a pretty good description.

I recall the Sardine Bar. For jazz, my hangs were: 1) the Jazz Showcase (walking distance), 2) the Green Mill (Monday nights for Patricia Barber's regular gig), 3) Mister Kelly's (back in the day; it was Gibson's Steakhouse when I left Chicago), and several whose names I can't remember.The brewpub here is a local microbrew. Their beers are widely available for a few meters' radius from their front door
My two primary hangs as a student were at the Four Star Sardine Bar, and the Heartland Cafe. The Four Star Sardine Bar was a jazz joint on the ground floor of a NU campus building. The Heartland Cafe because I lived directly next door to it in Rogers Park. "Home" when in Willowbrook means two nights to be ready for O'Hare again.
Chicago had fabulous jazz and blues scenes. Living downtown back then was a wonderful experience. Then the 708 and 847 empty nesters started showing up. Things went from pleasant to pushy.
Solution? I moved to Arizona.

Maynard was great. What a talent! Saw him a couple of times, once in a small theater with super acoustics. Fantastic sound. So good, we in the audience got to listen to his entire conversation with the trombone player stage left while the keyboard player stage right was playing a solo.

And Maynard was an early explorer, taking up residence with Leary (and friends) at Millbrook in 63

So that's how he hit all those high notes.
The Italians took those high notes very seriously. Don't ever let anyone talk you into castrati, it's not a pasta dish.

Ohhh, I just had memories stirred up from the silty muck that passes for my brain. Way long time ago I was at Ft. Gordon, GA, outside Augusta, for Military Police NCO Basic School. We were billeted in those good ol' WWII wooden barracks, single bunks, double wall lockers and a desk and chair. Not bad, all considered. Mess hall right across the street, an easy walk to class. In the training company the barracks contained a mix of NCOs from different training cycles. I and a couple of my compatriots fell in with some merry souls who were two weeks ahead of us, and well sir, one night we were spirited off with them to a place (honkytonk M1A1, 1 each, official size and weight, beer smell, Waylon Jennings signature model) called Lake Lodge. I still have no idea where it was, except there was nothing much around it but a putrid pond, but after a time I got to where I could drive there easily. When we, about eight of us, walked in the door, the waitress counted noses and pulled together enough tables and chairs to fit us. Then she left without any words being exchanged. When she and another of her ilk returned, they were carrying trays of beer pitchers and mugs. The pitchers were filled with bourbon and coke. (The same thing happened every time we went there.) Thanks were given, and the night proceeded. One of the guys in the other class was the ringleader, huge fellow, nice a guy as could be, dead ringer for John Wayne but with a really thick southern accent, and his preferred drink was bourbon and coke, so that was okay with the rest of us. Besides, he usually chipped in way more than his share, so we were more than okay with it. The point of all this is to say that @gtmalone 's D.A.M.N.-B.A.M. list is not nearly long enough. No sir, not a-tall, a-tall.We went to Busch Stadium a number of times when we live in StL. Good seats, loge level, shade, 3rd bass line (see what I did there?), tickets about 7-8 bucks.
