Fellow Red Rocker Fans, the previous entry and then the next few entries are blogs written from last summer 2011 @ http://adventuresofadramateacher.wordpress.com/ . My summer blogs until my BUCKET LIST trip to Cabo Wabo for Sammy's Birthday Bash 2012 will continue thereafter. If you get it, you'll get me...Come along, I am like Rock Candy.

“I’m on the inside, looking in, I’m on the inside, that’s where I'v been.” How do we chase our demons away? “There’s me, there’s him, there’s you and there’s us, all by the same name, so what’s the fuss?” ~Sammy Hagar.

As Sammy Hagar’s “I’ll Fall in Love Again” plays over and over along with more of my Red Rocker favorites, I wander back in my mind to my days of Red. Most of the people I shared these days with are on Facebook, and or are still my friends, and they might remember when I wore crimson as much as I now where my paint overalls (retired 2011).

He will be missed. Here's a photo of us in his RV at Barrett-Jackson the year I sold my Shelby. We were talkin' Cabo and cars.

Godspeed, Carroll.

Rock on Redhheads!

It's always a thrill to be back in St. Louis, especially at the beautiful Fox Theatre! The tour is going great and we're excited to be on the road to play for everyone. Oh Yeah!

Im so excited to see you guys tonight! It'll be the second time with Sammy on my BIRTHDAY! There is no better way to celebrate and party! See you soon!!!

Just a huge thank you Sammy for remaining so humble after decades of performances. It was high on my bucket list to just meet you in person. "Check" !! I have listened to you since Montrose and been a loyal fan ever since. I told my Wife that the first words out of your mouth would be a compliment to her hair ... and my prediction was right on target. HaHa Then for you to say that I looked like "Ronnie", is a memorable moment for me.

Sammy... once again you guys gave us another amazing concert!!!! I just wanted to THANK YOU soooo much for my signing my poster during the concert, (OH AND FOR BLOWING ME A KISS TOO!!!) LOL! I was the crazy brunette in the front row ,on Joes side. Can't wait to see you again. You all are amazing performers....god bless you with all of that energy!!!Keep on rockin for us!!! Love ya Sammy.....Your Forever Fan, Dana

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. My money was on "sooner." Heck, I'm shocked they stayed together long enough to come out with the last album. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they did, but their resent situation is just sad. Sammy said it best himself. Van Halen has one of the most loyal fan bases in the music industry today, yet the rockers have continually treated them like crap. Don't get me wrong: I love their music, but it doesn't seem right that they postpone (cancel?) tour dates without any explanation at all. An explanation.

After you've finished rocking out to Chickenfoot in St. Louis on May 23, and you *still* need a Sammy fix (who doesn't?), come check this out:

Patricia Walker, author of "Dance of the Electric Hummingbird: An Ordinary Woman's Accidental Journey to Enlightenment, the Supernatural, and Rock Star Sammy Hagar" will be signing copies of her book.
