Now that is cool! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
Nice traditional sounding music. Uncle <span style='color:red'>Earl</span> sure looks prettier http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif
Tommy is looking more Garcia than punk these days...and the tunes...what I could hear at low volume through #### speakers at work...sounded good...(is that an endorsement?)...

Well, that Tommy Ramone is quite talented.
I'm sure Tommy's Mom is proud that her son is finally playing REAL music...tee hee

.... we all get old my friend.
I used to listen to Grand Funk, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath in thr 70's and now....
I was playing "Arkansas Traveler" at an Old Time Jam in Richmond, VA last night with everyone there over the age of 40 or 50.
Even a Ramone gets old! The good news now is that he is playing some of the "good" music now! LOL! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif
I think it goes to show that music is a passion for some people. They'll change genres and even insturments, but the fire remains...ok maybe I'm romanticizing it too much, but I think it's true...
These tunes are awsome. Simple, and to the point, just like the Ramones.
