I played pool with Harry Chapin and partied with Cheech and Chong.....way before FR.....
I partied with Lynyrd Skynyrd before their crash.................
For real? I actually did play pool with Chapin and party with Cheech and Chong (mostly Cheech because Chong was upstairs where the non-alcoholic mood modifiers were for most of it).
I’m from Jacksonville, Florida in the late 60’s early 70’s. They were a local band and they used to play local spots.
Went into the Marine Corps at 18.
Went to see Lynyrd Skynyrd in 76(?) at an open stadium concert in Raleigh, NC with 3 of my Marine buddies.
After their set, their drummer at the time, Artimis Pyle, sought US out after seeing us in the crowd, because HE WAS AN EX-MARINE!

Imagine being a Marine named ‘Pyle’.
Anyways, he saw us ‘partying’ and invited us back to their hotel after the show.
We went to see them the next week in Myrtle Beach and did it again!..............
The stuff memories are made of!
