He did a benefit ride for Katrina victims. Local news did a piece on it yesterday with an interview and some good shots of the train in action. Check out wlbt.com to view the clip while it's still up!

Yeah, but did he sing the Pickle song?

RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.

Jim, that's "The Motorcycle Song".

"Luckily I didn't go into the mountain.... I went over the cliff."

"I don't want a pickle, just wanna ride on my motorsikle."

"Anything that rhymes with pickle is groovey, so you don't have too much to sweat tonight."

I love Arlo's ballads!

Actually Arlo didn't write the City of New Orleans, the late Steve Goodman wrote it. Arlo just made it famous. [8D]

It's a Madison car set by Williams. It's about 10 years old.
I thought they still made them. Maybe not.

If I get the Christmas layout up tonight I'll post some pics of the whole set.
