3. OMG - thank you sooooo much!
I love AC!!!!

When I was a freshman in college, he played our spring concert. I had over-indulged (as youngsters are wont to do) in several psychedelics and was sooo into his music, that my friend and I managed to break the fence just as the skies opened up and it just POURED rain down on us and we ended up sliding into the already muddy ground. AC just pointed at us and laughed.

Fast forward about a year later and I was visiting a friend in Chicago. He took me to a club where AC was playing (I don't remember the name of the place) and AC actually recognized me! :wow: He announced to the crowd that I was the "little girl who broke down the fence" to get to him :bounce::bounce:

5. Great story mb!
I never had the privilege of seeing "The Iceman" live. I'm so jealous!:hi:

I have covered that tune before and it's a real party starter. Glad it brought back good memories!

4. Hey bluesbassman, the first time I heard I Ain't Drunk it was by Tab Benoit
Here he is doing "I Got Loaded". Enjoy!
