Is the DU Panic Room still in existence?
I used to have the link, but that was a couple of HD's ago.

If it is, could someone pm me the link?

Just in case.

This Iran stuff has me a bit spooked this time.

A real bad gut feeling this time.

2. Panic?
If I was you, I would find a new place, make a brand new plan.

But we have been Loners for far too long.

Fuck it, go live on a boat.

Know what I mean?

Hey, Wiley...

4. If I could only sail it from here
to the Sac delta maybe. My kid and I were just talking Sunday that the delta might be just the place for both of us.

Maybe I just need something for panic?

9. Maybe a Good Woman, Wiley...
They can alleviate all manner of panic.

But the stress that they can generate can be a motherfucker.

I'll get back to you, Friend.

Tom

7. What's the panic room?
And I heard somebody on the radio the other day say that an attack on Iran is pretty much a given for early May. I have no recollection who this person was, so don't know if it's someone who has inside scoop, or just voicing an opinion.

Remember, that Northern Command and FEMA are staging "terrorist exercises" in Seattle beginning tomorrow, and many are of the mind that they schedule these things when something else is going on.

8. I think there's a DU group at Facebook. Or maybe, MySpace.
I remember I signed up for it but don't remember where or how. :rofl:

Wiley!

A very old piano playing gasaholic from your deep, dark past here.

Glad to see you're still on the scene. Hope your situation is stable.

Relax dude. We'll have a good 20 minutes warning before everything goes up.

12. Wow! You've got me real curious who this is
Edited on Thu May-01-08 05:56 PM by Wiley50
PM me once you have enough posts under the belt and can.

"My Car's a Gasoholic" made me a BMI songwriter for life.

Too bad it was the only one.

I've got a mental block as to who played piano on it right now.

This is gonna drive me nuts until I remember

Would love to hear from you

... I played piano on it.

Know who I am now?

Ahh, I see from your edit that you don't.

Think extremely tall, extremely long blonde hair, buddy of Mabry.

19. I always knew there was another reason I liked you...BMI here too.
So now we try to figure out all the people we both know.

I started the panic room back when DU was going down all the time.
We were all worried about not being able to get in touch if something
serious happened to DU.

We only use it for DU downtime.

Had to restrict posting because unfortunately
"someone" and yes I know who, invited bunch
of fucking freepers there...

Cheers to my fellow musicians on this thread-

28. Hi all youse guys and gals
Hi folks, please excuse the little reunion here, don't mean to be rude and hijack the thread.

Nice to meet all of you, I'll try to start spending a little time here.

Oh and as if he needs one, here's one more real-life witness that Wiley is one of the good guys.

24. You Too, huh?
Go to the BMI website and look up

"My Car's A Gasoholic
(It's Drivin' Me To Drink)"

Amd that's me

Wonder where that dude went?
I haven't seen that guy in 25 years!
Can't believe he found me here
and guessed it was me.
He was an excellent keyboard man
and had those pretty boy rockstar looks
that stole every pretty lady that came around
I didn't have a chance hanging around him.

Same thing happened here with my old hippie buddy, Earthboundmisfit
she just took a guess and she was right

If you hung around the music scene in Tulsa in the late '70's and early '80's
we might just know some mutual folks.
Also a few at Sony Nashville around the same time

"Had"? ;)

LOL, with a description like that perhaps I should say hello to all the ladies here first...

I was actually looking for Mabry and Googling everything I could think of. I ran across a posting of your lyrics here, posted by Wiley50, and my cunning mind told me there might be a connection.

I'm still playing. These days I live in El Paso and play on and off with Jimmy Carl Black's son Geronimo Black's group, plus I'm putting together a fusion band on the side. Just put together a whole new rig in fact. Got to play with Jimmy Carl himself a few months ago when he came to the U.S. to tour. Have three kids, well, had three... my 19 year old son died of cancer almost exactly one year ago. Can't really talk about that yet.

Haven't seen Geoff since... well, I'll tell you about that one privately, heh heh.

I invented online graphics along the way, by the way. Sounds silly but I really did. A little thing called the Skypix protocol, years before the World Wide Web. Long story but made me a nice chunk of change...

Happy to see you're a fellow leftie, just to get that out of the way. I hang out some at DKos and used to blog a bit at TPMCafe.

29. Yeah, I guess we've all gotten much older
Hang around here for a bit. You'll find out that there's a really great bunch of folks here.

There's actually over 200 different forums here on most every subject you can think of.
Go to the "Discuss" page and start clicking around.

i've seen our family here come together to be unbeleiveably supportive of members who need it, even financially.
We had one guy here get pancreatic cancer and we raised 50 grand for an operation in less than a week.

BTW, I lost a son too. It's a real bitch. It's like god himself kicking you in the nuts.
So whenever you're ready......

I'm here.
