Oh yea, back in the day, remember it well. Saw dust floor honky tonks, scams ran abundunt and the guy you were rubbing elbows with at the bar, the one with the cowboy boots and hat along with the diamond rings might be worth millions and out having fun, or, could be a nobody looking to score.Yup, back in the day when the cops walked in the bar you could hear a half dozen guns hit the floor.Back when a handshake really did mean something or meant nothing at all.If you ever heard the song Colorado Koolade, there was a lot more truth in that song than most people know.Been there, done that and I don’t care to relive it but wouldn’t take anything for the memories.
