Ha! Great one. Deep Purple was indeed his. I’ll have to pass that on.

I am glad to be a CRAZY, and equally glad to be a fan.

Somehow I just was thrown back in time many, many years ago… Picture this:

Me, as an early teen, walking up to the brick rambler with a brown Ford Pinto in the driveway, and ringing the doorbell. Standing there with the confidence that my friend is home from the rock music blaring from his bedroom, the window of which is open and just a few yards from the front porch. The door is answered by a heavyset man dancing to the music that is now even louder with the door open.

“Is John home?” I ask, somewhat reciprocally.

The “No” answer catches me totally off guard and I stammer a question about why his music is on. The response is equally unexpected as Mr. Brown explains that he is the one listening to the music… I think it was Deep Purple.

Your dad earned lots of ‘cool points’ that day.

Ha, Terry. I KNEW that. Let’s see if I can’t etch that in my brain this time. It was great hearing your stories, man. And now I’m thinking of getting a concealed carry license. We’ll see what happens.

YES!! A sane reader (grin)!!!

Larry’s stuff is lots of fun. I’ll let him know he’s got a lib dem in the audience. BTW, what’s your favorite part of his story?

Why thank you John Brown for saying such nice things about me! The Grove is thisclose to being finished, and evokes the people of the Grove well I think, but I’m the artsy-fartsy type and feel things in and through my art/beads. I have to say that it was nice meeting you too @ the Poisoned Pen and I hope you come back to Phoenix again in your next round. ps. I’m a lib dem and not crazy (I don’t think…), but love books like Larry’s. I’m a huge Deathlands, zombie, end of the world fan/reader and devour them like food. Check out Alas Babylon – not many guns but a good post-apocolyptic read, as is Day By Day Armageddon, which has lots of guns.

Great to know authors have as much fun on their tours as those of us that go to see them. I LOVE Mysterious Galaxy.

I’m totally going to have to read this.
