Deborah and I began with a great dinner at AJ Spurs in Buellton. We enjoyed a table next to the bar and guitarist Mike Shelton provided the tunes. He played my Marty Robbins request ("El Paso") and James Taylor and Willie Nelson songs in his setlist.Mike later made the rounds of the tables and said he plays three nights on the weekends and golfs the rest of the week! Great work if you can get it and he can. Shelton told us he has worked in the Elvin Bishop band during the "Fooled Around" (And Fell In Love) era, and with It's A Beautiful Day and with members of Pablo Cruise. All great Northern California bands.
The virtual time-capsule trip continued after dinner, as Sherman set the Wayback Machine for my high school years and the songs of Little Anthony and the Imperials...in concert at the Chumash Casino. What a great show! Deb bought a cd of their live performance and each member autographed the cover.We counted down the last minute of 2005 with hats on our heads and horns tooting a big welcome to 2006! What a great way to begin the year!
