Call me lazy.. and obvious.. but this just has to be here, right? Always a treat to listen for the little things in this masterpiece.

Thanks for posting! To be honest I uploaded it yesterday and wanted to share with the world on 9th of  November... but it's OK anyway. I want more and more people to watch it so you can share it if you like with hashtag #TomPetty40.
I'm glad you like it, it took me some time to do it but I'm satisfied with final result.

This weeks show is only 1/2 hour long and its title is "Set Of Six", by Badfinger. There's not a lot out there from Badfinger, If I find more live concerts, I'll post them. This set is from Manchester, England in 1972.

Wow, I haven't been on here in like 'forever' lol and I come to find this :)......thank you so much Beth for posting this, I love you and  eventho I'm mostly in FB, I still love this site ...it was the 1st site I ever visited when I first got my computer back in 1999 :). 
I did post what happened on FB but thought I'd also post it on here. 
First of all, I want to thank all of you who called, visited us and who sent get well cards with notes in them to us.  We are both grateful that God saved us, He was definitely looking down on us and had another plan for us!!.....maybe it was He knew we had the animals and had to take care of them, the house and had to finish remodeling it, or just life and to live it to the fullest! ....I believe it's all the above, but mostly the last one :).
What we were doing there when the storage building fell on us was that our friend, the one with the storage building, was wanting to replace it with a metal building, so he said if you come by and help tear it down I'll give you all the wood.  It was real good wood and Paul wanted it to maybe build some storage sheds here for hay and feed for the goats.  On August 22, 2016....2 days after my birthday :/....we decided to go do it.  Paul took a big rope so we could tie the rope around a stud and drive the truck to knock the building over.....we never got to use the rope the building decided to come down on it's own while we all were inside talking about using the rope!  Anyway,  Paul, our friend, and me started seeing the top falling and started to run.....our friend only got hit on his back and legs with a few brusies and part of the building fell on Paul and the blunt of the building fell on me and trapped me inside.  Thank God our friend's sister was there and called 911, and like Marion posted earlier our friend did keep the stud off my hip by using a crowbar until the emt's got there.  When they got there some went to Paul and started working on him, then some of them came under the building where I was at, after giving me an IV in my hand.....they then had a pressure lift with rubber things on them that they put between the floor and a stud and started jacking up the building off of me (talk about relief!!!).  I then heard one of them say we are gonna have to cut her out.....so then I heard a chainsaw and then they told me they were going to put a board under me and slide me out backwards.  Paul and I went to the same hospital, they did CT scans and MRI's as quickly as possible.  Paul broke one bone in his left leg, and 2 bones in his right leg, and 3 places in his lower back.  They told me I shattered my right hip and broke my right ankle.  The doctor then told me that they couldn't fix my hip here at the this hospital and they are going to have to air lift me to Baptist, a hospital in Little Rock, about 65 miles away.  I didn't wanna leave Paul, but didn't have much choice.  I spent 7 days over there and Paul spent 8 days in the other hospital, and then we both ended up at the Village Springs.  We got out October 14th and have been home healing.  I'm in physical therapy for my foot and hip and Paul is using knee pads to get around because he can't put much weight on his right leg.  His doctor wanted his leg to completely heal before trying to use it....we go to him Nov, 8th :).  He has a plate and 4 screws in that leg.  I have 3 screws in my right hip and 4 screws in my ankle.....I started off with a wheelchair, then went to a walker, and now I'm using a cane more than any of them I learned all that at Village Springs  
Well, that's about it.......I still can't do much, house looks awful, but we have family sending food,, taking us shopping and to doctors .......we'll be okay.  It is just gonna take time for everything!! 
Oh, and ALLLLLL our babies are sooo HAPPY we are home....they missed us soooo much. and we missed them just as much.....even the goats!!!
 
Love to all of you!  Thank you for the well wishes and prayers!!! 
 
P.S. Gonna try and be on here more often now  
 
 
 
 
 

More proof that the female of the species add a different spice of mojo when covering Tom's songs.  The vocal here is really rather good on 'Only A Broken Heart'.
 
 

This would be a great showcase now in this era for each of The Heartbreakers live including Tom and especially Benmont. Into The Mystic on Crystal River with Van The Man and no sign of Gloria! 
 
 

Well done and fair play to all who contributed to the making of this video! Good job guys and gals!
The Waiting is indeed the hardest part! Any Farmers from here on the video?

I agree that owning the music and listening to it is great and your 1st chance to get into music. BUT, If you already own the music, it's better to spend your money to buy a guitar, drums, keyboards or whatever and try to learn what your idols are doing. Believe me, I know how hard it is to learn to play an instrument, I've done it. The bad part is starting, no one wants to sit and play "Mary Had A Little Lamb" or learn scales when they are 30 years old, but learning that is essential to what you will become. I was born loving drums and it came natural to me, but I still sat at those drums practicing 12 to 18 hours a day to learn new things and getting better at what I already knew. Do that for 20 years and you can sit in with anyone and know what to do without anyone telling you how to play. Music is the most important part of my life, other than my family. When you get down to it, what is life without music? It's just get up, go to work, get home cook supper, watch TV, get in bed and wait for the alarm clock to go off and start all over again! Go buy a guitar and try something new. Chances are you will NEVER become a rock star, but you'll smile and be happy!!!!!!!!
