on Bullfrog Blues

Hi all, well as I can see through reading through the comments most of us are a bunch of old broken down hard cases, but if I may tell a Story or two about David. I was turned onto him back in say 1982 or so. I was also an umm (Pay attention here) a sorta hard-core Biker in an M/C, (I'm out now) STOP RT THERE if you ever saw Sons Of Anarchy forget that crap. Repeat after me. "It was ONLY TV" I watched and part of me liked it, but part of me said woa is us. In my day there was no TOP DOWN DRUG RUNNING conspiracies., not saying people didn't husslte, but never top-down.
Even now) Why it's called RICO.. Ok got that off my chest. So me and some of the club (No we were not 1 % ers (Think Hells Angels etc started going to his shows. I guess he noticed and well most or a lot of his shows in Denver/Colo then were small venues. We sorta ( no assigned setting, LOL somehow ended up front.
Anyway, we got to know him and from time to time when a schmuck would act up we'd escort said schmuck out. over a 5 yr period, I saw him maybe 15-20 times and he put on the best show ever. Being us, really got us nothing except a call and "How many seats
you need"
Now the best story evah, He did a small club up in Boilder and it had a balcony, so I'm up there with my best Bro and were with 2 gals. LOL my Bros gal I look over and she's peeling her undies off, she tosses them down and they land o the drummer's High Hat.
David finishes his song is sweating his ass off, turns grabs that, and wipes his face.
He kind of realizes what it was and goes like "Gack" and tosses it. I guess you had to be there.
