[DeTomaso] another adventure in america . . .

[David in Durango]

Ace Hardware, me in my ball cap and the young check girl.

(and I can see the sweet young thing eyeing my hat all during the transaction)
"Is that a band hat?  Why is there a car on it?"
Well, I explain, there was a car long before there was a band.
"No way!"
Way.  In fact, there was a car before you ever came along. or a "band" for that matter.
"No waaaaaaay, what year?"
Well, I explain, the Pantera wasn't imported as such after 1974 and . . .
"Wow, I didn't know they had cool cars that long ago!  Hey, this guy has a car from the 70s!!!!"
AND, as a matter of fact, there were Panteras when ol Ferrucio was still playing with tractors.
"Uhhhhhhhh, who's Ferducci?"
Ferrucio. Ferrucio Lamborghini.
"Wow, I'll have to check this out in a history book or something."

Yep, that's the way it happened, movin' west.

Just another day in the life of a grouchy old man . . . .in Durango.

Tomorrow, a story about a young man that couldn't understand why other bands didn't have national conventions in Las Vegas.
Yep, true story.
