TAKING A SATURDAY BREAK WITH RONNIE WOOD!

Good Morning! Keith Richards and Ron Wood have an ingenious musical collaboration in that they switch off duties almost effortlessly on-stage between lead and rhythm guitar playing. Even if you are not a fan of The Rolling Stones, you would probably agree after seeing some video of this duo that they are very intuitive as musicians. I felt it would be fun to take a breather with a backstage pass to visit with Ronnie Wood today.

Tomorrow, I will be in Tempe, Arizona with the ALS Walk as a member of The Mackney Warriors. Our team Captain is of course, Rich Mackney and we will be pushing his wheelchair towards a cure for Lou Gehrig's Disease. As I used to say, "Film at 11"! Enjoy this video over coffee!

Diane: We resume work again on Monday. It has been almost 1 year since we started work on this, which shows you how difficult something as simple sounding as a benefit concert can be, but also our Determination. Lots of Love, Diane!

Sera: Thanks! I am our designated driver and we have what I call a very competitive, lean-mean machine of a team. We are relentless in our desire to raise funds, awareness and have fun all at the same time as we push Rich along towards Victory with a capital "V"! I keep reminding him, he's still a chick magnet! :D)

Have a good walk. Tomorrow is our CROP walk and it'll be nice and chilly, good weather for a brisk walk.

Sage: When I was an Outreach Officer in my church, we did the Crop Walk. Very worthwhile. I wish you well and thank you for the good wishes for our team and for my dear friend, Rich.

Michael :)

I really enjoyed this! It shows definitely how important a guitar is to a musician. It is a magnificent piece of art and so vital in the world of music.;)

Protege: I agree. There was a short period of time when Ronnie was new. He replaced Mick Taylor, and Bill Wyman retired. So the core band is Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and Charlie Watts with musical support from bassist Darryl Jones and keyboardist Chuck Leavell. You Rock, Protege! :)
