First one was the early years, folk and banjo, joining the Lamplighters as a teenager, then Simon and Garfunkel and Beatles influences.

Rare spinnaker2 Posted March 13, 2017 #203 Share Posted March 13, 2017 He's an impressive guy...special sounds on the guitar, and played with so many other greats, the Byrds, Dylan, Mayall, Petty, and on and on. Wish I could be there to hear...or watch in my sweet suite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Silver Spectre Posted March 15, 2017 #219 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Fabulous trip out to the Mekong Delta today. Arranged with a private company at less than half of SS's tour cost. Met our guide, photographer and driver just outside the pier gate and loaded into our air conditioned van. We drove out of the city for about an hour before reaching real countryside, with rice paddies, family tombs in the middle of the paddies, maize and many types of fruit and vegetable. After 2 1/2 hours we get to where our private boat is moored, getting on and off was not easy, the river is tidal, and jetties uncommon. We visited a craft area, where we watched rice pancakes being made, saw and tried popping rice ( just like rice crispies), drank rice wine, snake wine and tried various sweet fruits. Visited part of the floating market for coconut and jack fruit, and then sailed to the Mekong Ecolodge for a traditional Vietnamese lunch. Topped the return drive with a quick trip to the centre and the fashion market. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare spinnaker2 Posted March 15, 2017 #221 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I could hear ride of the Valkyries in my head when I first saw your shot of the delta... Nice to replace that mind image with a new pleasant one. Thanks Mr Silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Silver Spectre Posted March 15, 2017 #222 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Extremely weird chef encounter in Le Champagne. Chef, how was your meal, guest, it's a shame the plates for the mains were not hot as requested. Chef's response, are you enjoying your wine?
