"ME-RRI-LEE!!! Good to hear from you. You are as beautiful as ever. The years have been very kind to you, my dear (or maybe the secret is selling real estate). As for me, I look like an orphaned buffalo who was mugged in a National Park. Good to hear…"

"Oh John, that happened so many years ago (1994). It's all water under the bridge. I make some decent bucks working from my computer at home, and have SS Disability. I'm doing alright.

Have you ever seen him do this drum solo?

"Thank you Billy.

As much as I like to down-play the 3rd of August for reasons of sanity and vanity, I will always accept a sincere and honest "good wishes" from a friend.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

  • Ahh, no problem Vini. I have been surprised by this site and have enjoyed it as much as everyone else. It's not me, man. I am just a computer geek who happened to be the one who started it one Saturday afternoon. Anybody couldda done it. (Whadda I know from bringing people together, ha, ha.) Do you know Frank Piluso? He is registered on here. We have kept in touch over the years.

    Ok, you live in Emporia, man. That is too much! You MUST take some current pictures for us. I will be glad to "develop" them for you and help you with posting them here. Take some of the Campus in its current state. See if you can get inside the buildings too. Take some of some of those places we used to go to I believe one was called Sonic, and what about that little place across the street? If you shoot video footage I will be glad to help with that too. Enjoy the site, Stay in touch.

    PS - one of my favorite all time songis this one by the awesome SRV. This is in dedication of your love of the blues. Click on this video.

  • Hi Vini,
    Do you remember me? You look great and hope that you get your bod back in shape. Emporia Kansas? That is irony, if I ever heard of irony. You are wonderful and hope all goes well for you. I am very blessed to have this website to connect with everyone!

  • Hey Vini, glad you found the site! Looks like you have had an interesting life (as have many of us). I remember you well of course from Emporia and from HQ that fall of 1979.
  • Sent you my email address
  • You said,"I was an angry man running through life..." That song was going along just fine at our show at the Rock until you sang that hokie ending. I've never forgiven you for that.
    LOL!!!
    What up Britt???
    As usual I have no idea what you are talking about. Me do a hokie ending, Fugitaboutit!
    It is so great to hear from you. I have thought about you many times. We had some fun times together and made some pretty good music. It kept us from having to go to TX and pick peppers. Would really like to hear some of your songs if you have a CD.
    Your friend, who more than once needs forgiveness, and of course, fooled around and fell in love.
