My prayers and thoughts are with her family and friends."

"glad you left the building!!!

I rode for quite a long time. But now, living in the "city" I don't. Its my friends bike. I just always wanted a pic of me on it! Sorry to disappoint. If I was in a more rural place, I'd have another in a heartbeat."

Gale Budlong left a comment for Elizabeth Ricks Lowder

"I am so glad you're doing your art again! Its important. I've always envied artists - they can touch people's unconscious in ways other things can't. Then, post some pics of it here. Im sure we'd love to see it."

"Hi Steve! Yes, still working for the &*(^*(&^( lawyers :) No more bands anymore, I finally got tired of it. Jamming with friends is more fun and I don't have to stay up 'til 3 or 4 in the morning to do it!"

About Me

What a great site this is! Hmm, where to begin? Well, I am still a devout Christian, but not involved with any church or group, but still continuing to learn and love Christ and follow him. As some of you know, I left staff in '84. I then headed out to NYC with Jackie Clark and had 10 fabulous years in NYC where I played rock and metal with various bands, had awesome experiences and I think caught up on my "youth" that was spent in TWI. It was a blast. As I got "older" I returned to the midwest. I have family there and kind of "settled" down. I have continued to play in rock and blues bands until recently. I'm tired. I don't want to stay up until 2 am in a club, pack up, get home by 3 or 4 - been there done that. But, along the way, I have collected guitars - my passion since childhood and have a nice "collection" now, I'll put some pics up later. I still jam with friends at my house and have a great time. God has blessed me and my family and I am thankful for that.

My Interests

Music, guitars, books - is it interesting? Than I'm interested.

Employment or Career

Executive Legal Assistant - i.e., legal secretary. But hey, for those of us who gave up our college educations for TWI and the Corps, its been great - it supplied a car, house, money for hobbies, etc. I have no complaints!

Music I Like

Everything from my dad's old big band to Metallica. Van Halen (the boy guitar genius), Hendrix, Clapton, DiMeola, etc.

Books I Like

Ann Rice Vampire series - she tells a mean story, history books, "classic" literature.

Television I like

Give me Law and Order, the Criminal Intent and Special Victims Unit ones. Also, Miami Vice, and the Office - that one's a riot.

Movies I like

The last one I saw was "The Brave One" - the new one with Jodie Foster. Its actually quite good. I like more drama rather than the "action" blow 'em up ones.

Sports Teams I like

Yankees, Mets, Blue Jackets.

Ya know Gale, you mention Eddie Van Halen, the "boy guitar genius". And ya know, I have only recently, in the last five years, begun to take note of how good he was/is. And, I remember this: One time during a Rock 'n Roll Hall Of Fame" induction night, I witnessed this: On stage was Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Bo Diddley, Eddie Van Halen, and of all people Sam Kinison, aka "The Screamer". I think that the purpose of this collection of guitarists was to give Sam Kinison his "life's dream" of playing with those, his favorite guitarists. And so, the jammed. It was some simple 12 bar blues tune at a fast shuffle, and, they all took a lead throughout the song. And finally, Sam Kinison, at took the last break, and did a fair job of it. BUT. This is what was so cool to me, and gave me my first taste of Van Halen's expertise, was when Van Halen took his solo break. It was lightning fast, very tasty, and as he was playing, Eric Clapton began to bow before him and mouthing the words; "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"

And so, It was interesting...

Gale, I sent you a short response. I would love to hear your voice and talk on the telephone. email-a3heaven@msn.com, 704-743-7034 Call me Sharon

Okay, Jimi. That looks better. You know Rock 'n Roller's names lots better than me, that's for sure! I like your black background. I wish I knew more about computers. I've been trying to add some photos for days, but no luck. Putting the personal portrait in was easy, but adding more is impossible. I love you! You are such a smart cookie! xoxox Glenda Sue
Glenda Sue Morris June 22, 2008 at 2:27pm

Gale, well, I never made it to New York while you were there, but I probably wouldn't be where I am now, so that makes me glad!

I did the legal secretary thing. It's good money. So is working for doctors! I had my own show for about three years. Started out country and ended up "Variety." I could get more gigs that way. I feel like you, I sort of got it out of my system.

You know I kissed Jimmie Hendrix, right?

I love you!
