Military Brats; they are a tribe unto their own.

Who would have thought there could be two Corcorans in the same room? I did not think it was a common name. I love your backstage story. I worked backstage at the Erwin Center for about 6 years mainly helping feed roadies 3 meals a day. But I also stocked the green room for the musicians. Bonnie Raitt did give me a rose from her dressing room. Glad you kept writing about music!

Nowadays there are Corcorans everywhere, with every Catholic boomer having six or seven kids.

Wow, Bonnie also gave a rose to my ex when we volunteered at a benefit she played at Palmer[?]. That gesture made a lasting impact.

Wow, short-sided! "I am auctioning this roach smoked backstage at the Loggins and Messina concert. It contains the DNA from both Paul and Linda McCartney. Opening bid $10,000."

Phonics. Still so very helpful. So glad that was taught in my little small town Texas school.

Graduated in ‘72, then off to Austin.

Phonics - do they even teach that now?

I don't remember. There wasn't much left by the time I got it.
