Sometimes I wish that I didn't go ever because he 'stole' my heart. Maybe he didn't mean to, but he did. I try to forget sometimes.

Hey Pam, the first time I ever heard of a casino on an Indian reservation, I thought it was about the strangest thing I ever heard. I never could get into going to those places that much.
You wouldn't have to worry about changing the quarters anymore, the machines are almost all ticket out machines now, and you redeem the tickets for cash when you are done, or keep putting them in other machines until you are broke, which is the normal in most cases. I guess you mean Gordon stole your heart. He is a mild mannered soft spoken guy, and his songs can give a great idea how the man thinks and sees things, quite a person. What he says is law, when it comes to the songs to play and what goes on at the concerts. Like most performers who have worked hard to get to where they are, they have very positive personalities and are in control of what goes on around them most of the time. Even though nowadays, the young ones really seem to lose control real easy. Mainly due to drugs it seems.
