Man... sometimes I just hate the day off. Sitt'n here watch'n Blind Melon vids.... early 90"s. I wish I could go back, do a lot of things differently..... stay into music would one of them. Started playing my vintage drum set from the 90's...picking up where I left off. Hell... times were good back then, young, feeling of freedom, no worries, no pressure. The music... the bands.... the people... just different,ya know.So, what do ya do? I jammed with a couple of young guns , showed them some Melon tunes: they really loved it. Hard to find a singer like Shannon.... BUT... believe it or not, my own son sounds close to him.... kinda acts like him... kinda wild . He can't do it unless he's fucked up ,he says. But he is good. Just hav'n the day off.

What I will have to do is find out where they are playing... actually go into a bar ( last time I was in a bar was in KCMO to hear Blind Melon).... film and record the guys and post it. He got into racing gokarts and is winning .... so I think thats good, get him out of the bars for awhile. Last story I heard was He saw a friend of getting jacked by a couple of dudes... so Stu ran off stage left the band Jamm'n and jumped right in fight'n. That was last week at our local bar called The Depot. The dude has" the Shannon " in him.

Yea he is... really something! There was NEVER a dull moment with him. I raised my 2 kids alone... did the best I could. Here is another story: Him and a good buddy got snitched out one morning while going to school for smoke'n weed. Cops were waiting in the school and grabbed them, searched them,lockers,and Stu"s truck. Called me in to talk with the school officials and the dick cop who really was a dick.... they found no cigs, no pot, no nothing, but ROLLING PAPERS! OK.... Stu had 3 or $400 dollars on him... yea I know.. ( he just got paid with no account). He worked at Jack Henry a computer banking co. Kicked them out for 45 days(sucked). He left in his truck and went to the football field to cut donuts in the gravel lot. Broke out the coaches windshield. Cops at the house again. We worked that out. Soooo, he and his buddy went to the next larger town(Springfield Mo) two days later. On the way there Stu was chipping ice from the mirror while his buddy was driving down the hi-way; well the ice broke the windshield of the car behind them. Cops again... we worked that out. BUT, this is the same guy who saved a young kid from drowning, work with disabled adults( changed diapers, took care of them and really cared). There are so many stories... good ones... if you guys want hear them.

Gotta tell this one. Stu (my son) works for a company caring for adults with handicaps. He has about six men he takes care of: taking them shopping, shows... whatever they can do. He spends time driving his crew around in a van, and I pass them now then,well when I do they all know my truck and wave( they might be giving the one wave). Anyway he has them one day getting on I44 , the semi wouldnt give him room to merge ... so Stu gets along side and the truck driver gives the finger tells him pull over. Well Stu did that... before he got out to "talk" he told the crew sit tight it's gonna go down. Stu is face to face with two guys telling them he has van load of handicap people and how would ya feel if you wrecked us. At that time the crew got out and all are standing behind Stu... and he hears " kick their ass Stu... yea kick their ass" Well that hit the driver in his soft spot and told them all how sorry he was. All those guys think the world of Stu.
