Thanks Pat, and that is really a great song, I wish I could have written it

wow this is kind of overwhelming! I did expect a response like from deb "oh hi, Billy.....so pat as I was saying....." Or maybe from Larry (F) "Billy Blair...Billy Blair did he used to play for Toronto....so pat as I was saying...." or Arnie "billyb is a real person?! LOL<img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15> I thought it was Larry just hackin' around......so pat as I was saying...." or yamuna "ken hide the recipes!....so pat as I was saying....." Or agnes "does any one know what a polybrominated biphenyl actually does?....so pat as I was saying......" How's adg doing these days? where's Dennis? got a note that Lisa was leaving the GC. Whose minding the store now. Bring me up to speed on everything. pat: can't believe you have those lyrics! thanks. Dave Downin how the hell are you?

did you really think you wouldn't be missed, billy?? geez, mark was even e-mailing people he found on your old website to see if they knew where you were. do you get that? mark, my husband, was talking to people he doesn't even know. hell, he doesn't talk to people he does know! that's how much we were looking for you! in short...you stick around now, don't you leave us like that again!

dennis is retired...well, at least, from busdriving. he seems to be quite happy playing with his dumptruck up in the berks, and working on sherry and ken's house up there.

Jesus Billy. Least now I know it wasn't I that scared you away! I'm the dude with paranoia.

Hope to meet you at the church. I hear you play a mean fork guitar <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/wink.gif" width=15 height=15>

I think I showed up in blunderchat about the time you wanished, and I missed you anyway, I just didn't know it. I do remember we all celebrated your birthday. It's in the files somewhere.
Gladtomeetcha.

Yo billyb, knowing you only through the wild and bizzare rumors I've heard about you, I believe I once tried to confuse another billyb(bragg) with billyb(you) on billyb(bragg's) birthday, just so billyb(you) could savor the moment and so we could all savor the flavor of some traditional Blunder baked chonklit birthday cake. Although the attempt blundered, my efforts at least qualifies me for one free sucky CD, no? <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15> o.k. well, welcome back just the same!

Billy, you have no idea. You know, thinking about it, the return of the prodigal singer/songwriter is a gift. These days there hasn't been a lot to lift the spirits. Now there's at least one thing.

yah...what pat said!

billy...my fingers work (believe me!)...it went something like this...in the beginning we thought you were just taking a break....and we figured we'd give you some space...and then after awhile..it was like...well...maybe we should look for him...and then it got to be..well..maybe something's wrong..and he doesnt want us to know..or he would have told us...and then it was...well....maybe he doesnt like us any more... i mean..i remember the 'warning' about using up my visits per lifetime....

we did look for you...but then we werent sure if finding you was a good idea or not....

so here we are....

it sure is good to see you...and heck...your lyrics arent just on the wedding website..they are in our wedding album...beneath a photo of you and rob playing....

anyway...welcome home and i love you.

I'll never forget sherry and ken's wedding. After dinner (which couldn't be beat mind you) Granma got up and walked by our table towards the kitchen. One of the waiters was coming out the door. He said, "Where are you going?" Granma looked waaaay up at him and said, "I'm going home. I've had enough". He said, "You can't go that way. That's the kitchen". She said, "I know that!" Turned around and 2 seconds later she was dancin' with a big grin on her face.

Mark was looking for me? He didn't find me did he?

Had a dream last night that todd and I were eating veggie chili. He turned to me with that big ol' grin of his and says: "Ya gonna eat yer pickle there sonny jim?" I don't know what that means. PAGING DR. FRAUED!!

Hi to all the people I don't know yet. Thanks for your kind words of greeting. Gotta tell you that after too many years playing in bars for drunks and Skynyrd fans these people on adg.net taught me how to be kind again. I'll never forget them for that.
I may not ever forgive them. Some of my best stuff was when I was pissed.

Welcome back as John Sebastian used to sing! <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>Long time no see on here... Glad you're doing okay. If ya ever do any gigs near VA we'd love to chekc ya out! <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/peace.gif" width=16 height=16>

Larry, did you see that roundheaded kid directing a Christmas play, on t.v. a few months ago? .........."I been talkin to playwriters......I been learnin' 'bout words". -----[The Guess Who]

Is that the same kid that has the dog with the flying doghouse and dogfights with The Red Baron?

Larry; THAT'S IT!!! ......Billy, sorry we missed the play with the Mike Brady wig and all. If we could get to South Carolina a bit easier we would have come to the show. We appreciate you travelling and coming closer to our neck of the woods, ...hope to see you soon. What's the rock anthem director thing about?

talking of dreams...

i woke up from a dream this morning--i was watching a jerry springer episode, where a black lesbian and a white gay male decided they would leave their lovers and run off together, then sprang into a corny overdone display of affection on the stage...

i'm telling you todd's around here somewhere...

i had a fitful sleep last night!!!
ahhh, the good old days.....

Well, Dr. Freud was unavailable, but I consulted with 3 doctor friends of mine, Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine and Dr. Howard, and the 4 of us kinda came up with this:
In the grand scheme of all things blunder, Todd was simply trying to determine if in fact you wanted a pickle. The phrase "I don't want a pickle" is one heard often in the land of blunder, and is a phrase that is understood by the symbiotic minds of the blunder community. Of course in other communities, the pickle could have been some kind of phallic symbol and Todd may have been hitting on you.This later possibilty renders your answer more important than the first one we have offered, assuming you were both in the same community at the time the question was asked. However, if.........................Sorry, your time is up. That will be $175.00 for the next 30 minutes please.
