    ...it's early evening, your wife and kids are out, the amp is just
    starting to breathe, and your neighbor calls to tell you a few of his
    pictures just fell down
    

   "... hmm, hmm, hmm, and I'm FLIRTIN' WITH DISASTER!" ad infinitum.

   Cool band for the time.  Saw them opening for UFO and REO back when the
   latter played real music ("Ridin' the Storm Out") not the sappy
   commercial dreck.

   Ah, back in the days when all you needed was a Marshall stack, a Les
   Paul, and damaged hearing to be successful.  Sigh.  :-)

    ...you're at the Guitar Center on a Saturday afternoon, and the
    salesman asks you to turn down!
    

you're in your fav. local store, and your bud who runs
it puts you infront of one of the new Peavey 5150 combos
hands you an axe, and says, "Wanna see how sick Eddie is ?"

and proceedes to set the 5150's knobs up to the E.V.H.
"kill all the dogs in the neighborhood" settings and
you just go...

    turn UP!!

    You're still here at 6:00 on a friday night and your wife's
    never even HEARD of Molly Hatchet :-)

    	Fifty people decide to party on the make-shift stage with you. They 
    decide to mosh. You watch your gear and the floorboards obtain air at
    the same time....
    

    I used to love a song called "Gator Country"  -  One of my favorite
    bands when I was a young-pup-southern-rock-n-roll fanatic...
    
    Ya know when you're REALLY jammin' when your wife is baking a cake
    and you're down stairs jammin' away...  The cake fell.  (I *hate* 
    when that happens).

      RE: .3
    
        WOW Sam - there's a flashback for me! I saw the Molley
    Hatchet/UFO/REO concert as well (I'm sure they only toured together
    once!). Agreed on REO - they were OK for me back around REO/TWO (A
    actually liked Golden Country). And as for UFO, that was the last tour 
    with that version of the band with Michael Schenker (Oh NO, I'm gonna 
    hear from Tristan Rex!). Later in that tour, he was replaced with 
    Paul "Tonka" Chapman from Lone Star. Of course, Schenker came back
    in later years for some $>

    
    	You look in the back of your amp...and all your output tubes have
    taken on an hour-glass shape!

   You're cranking along and the DRUMMER actually asks you to turn down! 
    :-)

   Funny thing, guess what I heard on the way to work today?  "Flirtin' .."
   Gotta try that out when I get home;  haven't played it in years, but just
   hearing it got the juices flowing.

   Does anyone happen to have a copy of the album/CD that they no longer
   want?  I can only remember about half the parts..  I'll actually pay!

    	I have that song on some sort of a "promo" 45RPM record that
    	I got from a box of cereal or something years ago.
    
    	Molly Hatchett
    	Journey
    
    	and a couple other bands.
    

    A couple of years ago, you could have bought Duane Roland's black
    Firebird and Dave Hlubek's wacky custom Explorer-like guitar from a
    dealer down in Florida.  For cheap.  In fact, Duane's bird was pretty
    nice; I had them send me some photos and was seriously considering it.
    It had been refinished (which means a neck repair) and the fretboard
    had been changed to ebony with Super 400 split block inlays.  It was
    very sharp, and the folks at Guitar Broker were begging me to make an
    offer on it.
    
    Someone else eventually took that prize.

    surely the new movie "Flirtin' w/ Disaster" uses
    the M. Hatchet song?
