[Heeplist] me and my heart

Sun Mar 16 10:28:46 EDT 2014

Hi Dave, after reading your post I cannot get the Neil Young song out of my
head.  "keep on rocking in the free world"
However you did sum up life on the back 9 well. (Back 9 meaning the second
set of 9 holes on an 18 hole golf course, the phrase is used to sum up being
close to finished, like in the Adam Sandler movie "Click")

My drivers license says "organ donor" on it, but I was thinking who the heck
would want those hand me downs anyway?  Summing it up for me, I don't have
any organs only a guitar.

I have been watching a lot of "The Lone Ranger" lately, and that is how I
want to go, riding off into the sunset with a loud "Hi Ho Silver and Away"
