^^^^VERY VERY VERY important job.  WAYYYY under appreciated i\'ve found.

and he does, as pitch put it, "...wear a great shoe," worth mentioning again, imo.

let me clarify that my last post, which says ::end thread:: was not an "ok lets end this thread already" post...it was merely a response to the beautiful poem posted right before by bezerker.  i wrote that after the poem because it would have been such a good closing to this thread.  please, no harm intended.  (i got an email expressing concern about this post...kind of a "who do you think you are trying to end this thread?")

[Gordo]

it wasnt a poem bro.. it was a love ballad that has been rippin up the radio air waves since 1983, originally performed by Laura Branigan.. Then later by Michael Bolton.



this clip is so good the transfer to tape couldn\'t handle it.

i dont really listen to the radio so i wouldnt know, i just thought it was a good piece

[Gordo]

you\'ve honestly never heard this song anywhere? like at a wedding or in a movie or at your parents\' house or in their car or at the dentist office or in the mall or on my ipod oh wait ive never hung out with you or waiting for an oil change or buying milk or at a blockbuster or in a restaurant or at a high school dance or blaring from a jaguar driving by or at a coke party or in miami or at the grammys or in a gondola or from an ex-girlfriend acapella or during a breakfast set-break or from heaven like rain? never? really?

[ds673488]

ohhh yeah i just watched your video, it wasnt working before...i know the chorus...vaguely though...its definitely a waiting-room dentist song, first thing that came to mind.  

for you 518-ers, a "B-95.5" song

michael bolton was jen\'s neighbor when she was little.  that\'s right people, michael bolton lived in milford....before he "made it" i think her dad resented the fact that he never really had a job and was kind of a bum.  true story.  seriously this time.

Ron epitomizes what The Breakfast has always stood for: great music, perseverance, and respect for the fans.  

Ron is the spiritual leader of the band; a role more subtle but no less important than Tim\'s role of vocal leader and frontman.  That will be the hardest thing of all to replace.
               
Thanks for everything.

Wolfman, truer words may never have been spoken.  Thank you for that post.  You are a wise man indeed.

Thanks for all the years of great music Ron.  You\'ll be sorely missed on the stage!  It comes as a shock to us all.  Best of luck with the family & career, hope to see you at the shows from time to time.

Excellent point.  Paralell parking a trailer is like running speed: you can\'t teach it, you\'re just either born with it or you ain\'t!

ya ren, i don\'t know you from adam, my dad tells a similar story...i guess he lived on this street in milford at one time and said the dude came home one day after he got signed a deal and drove up the street in a Ferrari...
