Yep. That's why there's two pretty different Floridas.
I had my shot at an Andy meet-up back in 2016. Hard to believe that it's been 5 years already since I drove through Chandler... anyway, I didn't have the heart to drop in with the whole family; wife and 3 kids ages, 10, 12 and 14. As I was cutting a track through Arizona, I saw the sign for Chandler and posted about it on Facebook for Andy to see. It was cool knowing that he was there but I had to keep moving. Maybe the next time it'll just be me and the wife and a dinner and drinks out can be shared.
Yep, growing up there, one moment we’d be out in the Glades gator fishing the next drinking Seabreezes at the Breakers or Epicurean watching the Kennrdys do the same.....awesome times...interesting how little one appreciates things when one has no frame of reference...

We have a number of these here in the Bay Area - ex-Nike missile sites/silo's also.
Yeah, I paid less at the beginning of 20, but a start at 1500 surprised me. I’ll watch to see what it goes for.

Great story!Lol! I so loved my Beast of Burden. Had mine for about 4 years in the late 70s -early 80s. We had many a good gig. Best one was an outdoor party where the cops broke it up and tried to confiscate it. The couldn’t fit it in the back seat nor the trunk of their cruiser. Obviously, they were non-musicians. They were pissed. We ended up just getting cited.

The guns from the battery were removed when the post was deactivated in '46, the present one are accurate for one of the two pits, they were brought home from the Philippine Islands in the '60s.
Yours truly, it was rather cold and windy that day.

It's all relative, having lived all my life here I'm quite accustomed to it, excessive humidity coupled with heat (like I encountered in Dallas, TX) make the Queen wilt

I never really paid attention to LS until about 2005 when I was playing with someone that turned me onto the Allman Brothers. I remember thinking I should check some more Southern Rock. As with many other groups the first 4-5 albums are my favourites. It turned out I had heard much more than SHA and Freebird, I just didn’t know it.
On the surface LS seems like they might be very “redneck”, but check out the lyrics to the Ballad of Curtis Loewe and Saturday Night Special.
They were popular on the coast and we played a couple songs; I remember SWA. Their image turned me off though.
how? If I may..turn you off that is...
