Back in a minute. Out for some Chesterfields.
Avatar 9:54pm Sean B.:

They have Chesterfield's back again I see xcept the have filters on them. All of them. That's not a real Chesterfield pack. At least here in MA.
  9:55pm rocco:

happy birthday to Phil Spector...and his Wall of Spazz........
Avatar 9:56pm Mod Mokka Matti:

Nothing says "Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year" quite like a carton of cancer sticks, wrapped with love.
  9:58pm Carmichael:

Never smoked tobacco. The old man smoked Camels, no filters. Used to pound the pack against his hand, “to pack the smokes”.
Avatar 9:58pm tak:

i use chesters yes... sometimes i smoke them too
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:00pm Tome:

Light my Lucky WooooWoooo !<>! Happy Holdiays !<>!
  10:01pm Carmichael:

The car guys would open them on the opposite end, to keep the grease off the filters. True story.
Avatar 10:02pm tak:

people still do that. i do that when im doing dirty work. i just need to be careful with the glue holding the paper. best way to hand them out to coworkers
  10:06pm Carmichael:

Testimonial, there ya go.
Avatar 10:09pm tak:

correction: cant open them from the bottom, but i can turn the inside pack around. everything is more complicated than in the ol daze
  10:12pm Daybreak and the Holiday Adventures!:

Thanks for all the lovely gifts Spazzy-Claus, it was a great day! Hope you enjoyed the egg nog and cookies! Looked like the Reindeer liked the carrot!

Recent story about a man discovering that Sleepy was his father... Guess things will happen when you're on the road playing up to 300 shows a year...

  11:05pm JakeGould:

@Mark: Wait! So the guy thought he was “Reverend” Jim Jones’ son and then discovered he was Sleepy’s son?

I had forgotten all about the Planet Of The Apes song!!! Thanks for another perfect show
  4:45pm Grim Jim:

D'oh! No MP3 version?
  7:49am chester:

nice Sleepy anecdotes Dave. We got to back him once mid 80's at the George Robey in London. I wish I could do it again as I think I'd be better able to keep up, and know more of the material, but it was an honour. He also taught us shotgun bass so I played my doghouse while our rhythm player played electric. We also wrote a tribute song to him "Mountain Man". My own little anecdote was that in the middle of one of his burning solos he broke the top E string. He finished the song without you even realising he was a string down. He then started an anecdote of his own while reaching in to the top pocket of his western jacket and pulling out a replacement string. All the while talking he restrung the guitar, a few turns of the peg to get in tune, then finished talking and back on the four the floor attack. Possibly the most professional thing I have ever seen! C
