Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach. #gmstrong

I once met a guy who told me he spent a few years in the 70s following them around, making money to support himself by selling small stone carvings outside their shows. He grew up a rock hound. gmstrong -----------------

It often required leaving before the encore so I could get set up for the waves of folks leaving the show. I missed a few songs over the years but doing so made it so I could make it to the next show… and the next show… and the next show. I was at my poorest, but I was never without a smile.

He was underrated as a guitar player. He played rhythm in such an unusual manner. Jerry of course led the way but Bob was all in as a key to the band. We are lucky to have been alive in the time the band played. They left behind a true legacy.
