    I’ve stayed at both the Hampton Inn and Embassy Suites downtown for the last couple openers. Both are absolutely fine, and an easy walk to restaurants and bars. I also start at the Hampton Inn in Williamsville to visit the old stomping grounds before moving downtown. 

     

    If you can’t walk it, what is another 5-10 minute drive? I’m for staying near stuff you want rather than being stranded mid-way. 

    I would say the same thing... stay near things you can just walk to, the little extra time going to the stadium is no big deal. We stay at whatever Hilton or subsidary that is at Roswell by the hospital... forget the name. Short walk to Gabriels Gate too.

    Vidler's is going strong and better than ever(90 years).  It is  a landmark in East Aurora.  In 2016, that came in second or third in the Intuit Quickbook's Small Business Big Game competition, where the winner got a commercial on the Super Bowl.

    You are right... funny I was just reading about them last week. The other two I'm not sure if they are still around would be Bells and A&P. We used to have a Murphy's in Lancaster... kind of like Vidler's.

    I bought a watch from the Grants at the University Plaza.  I am 'doubly' outmoded!  ? 

    The old green stamp days... my Mom used to wind up with books full of them. I remember going to AM&A's with her, I think she bought a new mixer with them.

     

    Guess they've been replaced by cash back on credit cards.

    I’m 51, very active, well I pulled my hamstring playing tennis the other day.   Its a nagging injury, but the first time i pulled it.  My pull looks connected to my calves.  I’ve been trying to massage out scar tissue, icing, strengthening.  What’s the recovery time?  What rehab should I be doing?  When can I run again?   I’m trying to post picture of big bruise, but it’s too large a file.  Thanks for any advice, cheers!
     

     

    Sorry to hear this Pete... hope you are on the mend soon. This should give you an idea of what you're looking at and what to do, there are different levels so I guess you have to figure out which one you are: https://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/hamstring-strain#1

    I’m going to take a stab here only because I know Keith Moon was his godfather, is it Ringo’s son, and current Who drummer, Zac Starkey?

    Correct. Moonie had bought it for him for his birthday.

    Damn, and I thought it was quite an achievement when I could make it outta my dorm room when I was tripping, let alone throw a baseball.

    Usually we had one person who was just smoking weed or hash just to keep an eye on things... no one turning into a bird and flying off of the roof... stuff like that. I really doubt this story, the flashing alone would keep anyone from concentrating on anything, much less pitching a MLB game. Best example I can think of flashing is Grace in the Uncle Sam Blues  vid from Woodstock.

    I don't have a link? The Rory/Jimi stuff runs deep. That said Kath was no slouch either. Dont remember Kath being mentioned. 

    Hendrix was infatuated with Gallagher upon arriving in the UK. In particular Gallaghers sound he got from a strat. He drove to Cork too see him the day

    after his Marquee debut. Went to the Rory Gallagher festival in Ireland a few years back. Was there on business.

    Slash played, lots of outrageous players. Recommend it for any fan of Rory, unless there's a pandemic going on. 

    It is Terry Kath... on an article/interview I'll have to look up. In the meantime, if anyone doesn't exactly know who he is, check this out:

    May's recent popularity surge is somewhat due to the Queen movie.

     

    When May was 15-16. he hung out in London clubs. At the time, Rory Gallagher was still with Taste.

    May would wait until the Taste gig was over and Rory would let him pick his brain, and show him riffs. 

    It is by no accident May prefers Vox AC30TB amps his whole carear. 

     

    Dick Cavett to Jimi Hendrix:

    Man , what's it like to be the greatest guitar player in the world?

    Jimi: I don't know you would have to ask Rory Galagher.

    Thought Jimi mentioned Terry Kath, not Rory.

    Guitarists cannot be compared like sports teams. There is art and artistry involved. Great ones are just great.

    Joe Pass? Great.

    Jimi Herring? Great.

    Bruce Cockburn? Great

    Alex Skolnick? Great

     

    How many average random humans have even heard of them? :)

    I have heard of all of them... I think, but c'mon... Robert Fripp, Frank Zappa, Steve Howe, Al Dimeola, Jimmy Page, Clapton, Duane Allman... that poll is just what I mentioned, for a laugh.
