And he was no more than 17 at the time.Geezernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-39223493086725286372011-02-11T13:17:55.445-05:002011-02-11T13:17:55.445-05:00Hey Steve-

We were friends, and my brother was in the Bryds. The 2008 Blues/Bryds reunion was a lot of fun. I missed the band members who had passed on, and those who weren't able to join us. We've had so many requests, we'll try to do it again in 2010!Jim Stanleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-7333916435968221162009-12-08T16:46:20.444-05:002009-12-08T16:46:20.444-05:00I was fortunate enough to have attended the Bryds ...I was fortunate enough to have attended the Bryds / Outspoken Blues reunion in 2008, Thanks to Bob Johnson letting me know. What a nice trip down memory lane. The weather was perfect; the crowd was great and the music was excellent. I hope that there's a another reunion coming in 2010. <br /><br />Ed Davis ~ Old Waukegan BoyEd Davisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-18761963315978549432009-12-08T16:46:18.544-05:002009-12-08T16:46:18.544-05:00hey! that's my dad! i finally got to play the ...hey! that's my dad! i finally got to play the song for my children thanks to you. they had a hard time believing that it was their grandpa bob.gretanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-6960612393152631302009-12-08T15:59:03.897-05:002009-12-08T15:59:03.897-05:00I'd like to thank you, Steve, for your comment...I'd like to thank you, Steve, for your comments on the Bryds. One of the guys WAS from Lake Forest and we hung out in LF often. <br />I wish I still had my Vox AC-30. One thing I want to make clear, the song Just Like Me came out a year after Your Lies. We referred to it as Just Like Us. It was a fun time<br />Thanks also for mentioning my album, Roadman's Hammer.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Robert StanleyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17206325381704432835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-24316528059057226642009-12-08T12:53:05.729-05:002009-12-08T12:53:05.729-05:00THE ORIGINAL GIRL BAND, the IN-SEX

I love the <i>Just Like Me</i> riff & the vocals are quite great -- you can almost hear the high school gym echo, which is a great echo for rock 'n roll. Thanks as always, Mr. Simels.
