Decades ago, some DJ on a local classic rock station told a story about how Otis Redding sold the rights to (Sittin on) The Dock of the Bay for $800. That would mean since the track was mixed and released after his death, neither Otis nor any of his family ever saw a penny of the riches its success would bring. It's long been one of my favorite "jew screw" stories, but in the modern age I can find no reference at all to it being factual. I've been going around telling people this for years without any way to verify if it's true or not.
I thought it appropriate, because I've been getting my boat ready. Very soon I will be on lake Erie having a blast with my 3 son's. As of now, I'm waiting on the 2 older ones to show up.
How are you doing, COF? How's the FNGT going? I hope all is well with you guys.

Sounds like a great time. Having fun with the family is always the best.
I'm doing as well as can be expected, given the circumstances. :) The Thread is doing fine but a little slow lately. Some of the past submitters have decided their clique loyalties are more important than their music. Sad.
Yeah, it does suck. I wish it could be different and we could all reach a middle ground. I just can't deal with certain people's infantile behavior. It's all so unnecessary. It's a shame really.

I'm not saying that there aren't some concerns and issues that can be addressed but the Thread has always tried to be a sort of island, or reprise, from the socio-political issues of the day and just be a time for musicians to share their talents. There's plenty of time and sites to discuss other issues but we just want a few hours to relax and have a good time. To each their own I suppose.
Have a great time with the boys. Getting out there with the sun, the wind, and the fresh air sounds great. I have a birthday party for a grandson and a daughter in the park today. I'm looking forward to it.
I agree, COF. The crap should just be left behind in the Friday threads, as it has always been. I didn't do anything wrong, I just up voted the stuff some would consider wrong think. I don't know.
We'll have fun no matter what, we got the day and evening planned out and thank you. It's a good day for a birthday party too. You enjoy the family time, my friend.
