I don't have any current craft projects, but Patti is very adept at several crafts. She has excellent beadwork design ideas and skills, mostly resulting in stunning purses. She is also an excellent seamstress, and knits and crochets, too. Patti also enjoys decoupagé. I'll ask her for permission to s...

Re: What was your first rock concert?

Welcome, Fred! Glad to see you here. My wife & I heard Heart when I was working in AOR radio, many years ago. We met Ann & Nancy in the green room after the show. Sadly, Ann was pretty much "in her cups", but Nancy was very lucid and hip. I'm happy to see that things turned around ...

I just found this one from the 80s with my pal Danny Gottlieb in the drum chair. Interesting. We must remember the time period from which this came.
