  1. Awesome! My hats off to this pioneer. But how come his veins always look like they are popping out like he is straining himself?

    1. I noticed that too NC. I’m wondering if it has anything to do with the pressurized atmosphere inside the ISS?

      I actually had to do some research on him, because I didn’t realize he was the Canadian astronaut. My bad.
      . . .

      1. Really? He is Canadian? Thought he was American.

        Well then, we should all give the guy a nice, cold, Labatt Blue beer when he comes home, eh? lol

  2. Most all my songs I play at gigs are originals, but there are a few copies I add in and this is one of them.. This song is awesome. Another copy I added to my set is “Bridge of Sighs” by Robin Trower. You should check it out if you havnt heard it…Also, “spellbound” by Robin Trower.

    1. I love Robin Trower’s work! You have good taste my friend.

      I love Oregon’s Henry Weinhard beer too. One of my favorites.
      . . .

    1. Why thank you hweinhard. If I were in your area, I would accept your invitation. Oregon has alot of very fine talented musicians up there.
