Thanks, Gary. I remember the song for sure but didn't know the band. It got a lot of airplay back in the day when the only listening options were FM radio and mostly top 40 songs, maybe 100, played in a loop. Good song though and now stuck in my head.Both the RR sowbelly and the RR Leon Redbone canoeare grand, Greg!
Do you remember that one-hit wonder band Redbone that "made the charts" with "Come and Get Your Love"?

Reads and looks like a great trip.Mrs. Hoovie & I returned home from the upper part of the country late yesterday. We spent the week up in Vermont. It's a beautiful part of the country & we're glad we made the trip.
We spent a good bit of time at the local farms (apple orchards, creameries & maple farms). This one maple farm just started to do horse tours on their property. It was definitely a fun time. The carriage ride was partially "off road" we were going up old mountain trails where they harvested from their trees. Some of the trail a 4x4 vehicle would have an interesting time with. But those Belgian horses pulled the cart like it was no big deal.

I've been carrying a Case Sodbuster Jr for most of the week. I posted it previously.
We did stop by an antique store where I found this old Camillus Grandaddy Barlow.

I carried the Camillus the rest of the trip & before we left I stopped by the post office to mail it back home. I didn't want to take the chance of losing it to the TSA.
Well now that we're back home the real fun begins... The unpacking
