As Led Zeppelin would say ...... It's been a long time since I rock and rolled, It's been a long time since I did the stroll ........... It's been a long time, Been a long time, Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time ...Yes it has! I need to get back to bi-monthly blogging as I've seen and done a lot since March 2010... had the trip of my life this year in Europe, had 3 karaoke parties, went to the IA State fair 8 out of 11 days and saw 8 plus shows and paid more than a few dollars to see some great acts rolling through Iowa.
