Lived right near Monmouth Park and Exit 105 for most of my...formative years.
Before the Lottery, horseracing was the only real legal gambling (yes, before Atlantic City got casinos, we're talking the 50's and 60's). People would wear their good clothes (tie and jacket in the clubhouse, please) and it was a big deal. Traffic to there and the nearby shore would be bumper-to-bumper.
Monmouth Park itself was kept in beautiful condition: flowering shrubs and green grass in the parking lots, where sections were divided by sparkling white fences. Nobody under 18 allowed (except for workers), so a big place with an air of mystery for a kid. We could send in small bets with local, small-time bookies, and then listen on the transistor radio for the results. hehe, wild youths.
But the Lottery and scratch-offs, etc., put a hurt on the horseracing and when I went back and looked at the old park, it seemed a little rough.
Would be real cool to see Buddy Cage there, though.
First time I saw him play was with NRPS in Asbury Park Convention Center in the early 70's. All those pedal and knees! Incredibly hot licks! But the opening licks of Powerglide had made me a big fan already.
Best wishes to everybody who goes. |

| Did Buddy ever get his stolen guitar back or some kind of reasonable replacement? |

At the moment he is playing an Emmons he borrowed. We are still working on the permanent replacement. Lots of prospective copedants being tossed around.

I just got back from the show.. Buddy sounded great!..What a great place to catch him.. An outside stage ..small crowd.. a couple of cold beers..a tip on a winning horse (thanks John).. and I got the chance to shoot the breeze with a fellow forumite and a steel legend .... Not a bad afternoon at all.
Unfortunately he never got his steel back.
He's playing an Emmons thru a twin head into a cabinet with two JBL 12"s.. The cabinet was built by the same guy who constructed the infamous "wall of sound" that the Dead used.. (I forgot his name).. It should be worth noting that for the most part he uses very little effects.. no delay and just a touch of reverb.
