well aware of the improvement,as i caught the you tube!! impressive,to say the least!!........

good news!..........continued prayers!!...........rally!!!

but then i am not really impartial,as he is my brother............

more controversy and head banging: 1983 matadors 12th place.........ohio brass factory 13th place!..........(just sayin)

:worthy:agreed!

you know about that?!?........cool!!..........skyline chili...............dont worry though,we DO have "northern kentucky" for weekend recreation!!

...................guys............its just a hockey game....................it IS hockey,right?..........both of you could have the misfortune of residing in CINCINNATI!!..........we here in cincinnati are looking for a place to build the new jail........some have suggested we could build it next to paul brown stadium............for obvious reasons!!

i still have a bottle of said brew on my shelf........just to have.........would not think it could be consumed after all these years. ................cest la vie.............

yes indeed! original lyrics written by ricky jackson............we are working on remembering the rest of the words!!

........we ("the brothers") just did a gig with steel city alumni,at the reading spring preview. complete with the ceremonial singing of "my country tis of thee,homewood east liberty" on the bus,before departure!

well i could have ripped off a respectable "happy trails" if given the chance!! (at least the bass line)

..................OH YEAH!!!!! ..............STEEL CITY:DCA WEST!!!

my introduction to senior corps was an album i picked up at a show in 1976 that had corps i never heard of on it..........corps like scout house,hurricanes,skyliners and yankee rebels. the narrarator was explaining what seniors were all about. i wondered if they were all gone,or still active...........then in 1980 i went to dca finals with ohio brass and saw hurricanes!!! hey!!! thats the corps on the album i have!!! and skyliners!!!!..........i was amazed!! the only senior corps i heard about,when i was a kid in junior corps was pittsburgh rockets,because my director always talked about them.but i never got to see them. i consider myself lucky,very lucky indeed to see dca corps for the first time,in 1980!!!.........butch with skyliners,pepe nataro with hurcs,and matadors with the best soloists i ever heard(you know who they were!)and without a doubt,the best hornline i ever heard:reading buccaneers!!!...............you see it is very easy to be "insulated" from dca when you are a young kid in the mid-west who only knew junior corps,and pre-dci at that!! i never saw a corps from california until 1974.......i was in viet-nam (in 72 and 73)....................................

got it!!...........a geographic thing!.................southwest ohio:biscuits and gravy,goetta on the side!!.........

you know,I have to get out more! I have no idea what you said! and what on earth is a "dippy ekk"????

what impressed me about star of indiana in 1990 was the audience reaction to the uniforms and appearance of the corps.that was an impressive sight. they redefined the term "spectacle" that season.

I have seen crusaders come back strong from just about every form of adversity,over the years,and you will come back strong from this as well.............best wishes for all of you,this season!

and mine as well!...........thank you!

and your parents had to explain to the doctor,how you managed to shove kitty litter up your nose!

no shoving kitty litter up your nose!
