We were having a Field Night in boot camp cleaning up the barracks and getting our gear ready for an early inspection on Saturday. Still another week without a few hours of liberty but we were allowed the one privilege of having a radio on while we worked. "Everybody's Working For the Weekend" came on while I was cleaning an M-16. I thought I put on a reasonable air guitar performance with it but the Drill Instructor who spotted me didn't see it quite that way and things went rapidly downhill from there. Oops...

I gave up on "Air Steel Guitar".

Too many people thought I was "Air Ironing".

Very funny, I know what you mean, Jelly Bean. Know what I mean, when I say 'know what I mean'.

Was part of a hippie-Christian store in Cotati, California (circa 1976) called THE EYE OF THE RAINBOW. May God love you.

This makes me think of Joe Cocker.
Barry, I sometimes make noises like him on a real pedal steel.

Same to you, Barry. In Germany it was already on Sunday the 4th of Oktober. I'm no church goer, so I didn't notice :\
