This day 1978 was a Thursday. School was in it's first day. It was 3rd class with Mr. Jones when I heard Keith Moon had passed away. Exactly two weeks after a final appearance on 'Good Morning America' with David Hartman and that Sandy brunette who I thought was so hot...Moonie was only 31. It didn't seem right...
With the ten year anniversary coming up this Sunday I am reminded that the day of terror happened on a Tuesday. Mere hours after watching a Monday Night Game with the Giants and Broncos.

Spent a solid 2 days soaking up the history, the sights, and the sounds. I was impressed with how friendly my Cajun brethren were. The meat pies were damn tasty. Louisiana had a vibe to it I really couldn't put my finger on...
