[Rhodes22-list] (Political) Military credentials amongDemocrats and Republicans

[Wally Buck]

Slim,

As a side note - Ted Nugent is a child hood friend of my next door neighbor. 
My neighbor (Will) is a lighting director for a Knoxville based lighting 
company called Bandit Lights. They did the lighting for last nights pre-game 
show on Monday night footbal as well as last years Super Bowl. I get all 
kinds of free show tickets from Will and have seen Lenny Kravitz, Aerosmith, 
Neil Young, Neville Brothers and a couple of others that slip my mind.

I met Ted Nugent at my neighbors cook out many years ago. Every year at 
Christmas he sends my neighbor his home made venison sausage and assorted 
game. He was actually a riot but he drank ice tea the whole time. Now the 
rest of the band partied in the manner you would expect from heavy metal 
rockers.

Wango tango!!!

Wally
