23. Thanks for that memory

One of my favorite guitar men and bands. Song was written about Claire, before she was even born.

Incidentally Dave plays lead guitar and accordion on this classic.

30. I Had The Pleasure

of having dinner with Los Lobos and then the next day being their driver to Boulder for a concert.

I heart Los Lobos - one of the best American bands ever.

[Doctor_J]

36. Same here

So many of their songs, including the one in the video, are so intricate and well-rendered. There's another one on that CD called "Hardest Time" that's also very melancholy and heart-felt. Listening carefully gives me chills. The whole group, and David Hidalgo in particular, are among the things that make life better just by listening in.

Congrats on enjoying that slice of life in Denver. Are/were you part of a concert promotion team, or a professional driver??

39. I Worked @

KBCO = Boulder Colorado

The station used to do a huge promotion at the Boulder Reservoir called Kinetics - that year Los Lobos played and I was in charge of them. Used to be a promotion/marketing director for a chain to huge record stores before going into radio.

29. I lost a son 20 years ago today, it is a pain like no other. What I took from that was,

that unless I lost another child, any other problems that come up are really small and I know I can deal with them. The hurt eventually heals leaving a scar that will last my lifetime and now theirs too.
Miss you Joshua

[spanone]

32. shit.

[JimDandy]

33. There was no way she could have lived after that gun blast.

She was most likely brain dead immediately after the shooting. Perhaps life support allowed them to harvest organs. So very sad.
