THANKS to everyone who posted a tribute to Matt and Dixie and family this weekend. We here at THE COUCH did forget to mention Matt's sister Kaitlin who will be missing him terribly. Along with Dixie's partner Tony, who now has the task of dealing with our dear friend over the next weeks. be brave Tony!img src="http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/2093/mattsidebarcx8.jpg" />

Hit the play button. You have heard this song many times before...Among many others the song has been recorded by David Bromberg, Chuck Berry, The Allman Brothers, Spencer Davis, Derek & The Dominoes, John Lee Hooker, Freddie King, Little Walter, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Dinah Washington, Junior Wells and Muddy Waters.
Written by Bill Bill Bronnzy & Charles Segar it is a true R&B classic.
This version is featured on the 2000 release "RIDING WITH THE KING" with B.B. King & Eric Clapton featured.
A project the two had discussed over the years since meeting in the '60's, they finally had the opportunity. On this particular song, "KEY TO THE HIGHWAY", Mr's. Clapton and King are both featured guitarists and vocalists. They are joined by Nathan East on Bass, Steve Gadd on drums, Tim Carmond on Hammond Organ, and drum programming by Paul Waller.
Just think of what it would have been like to be in that studio for these recordings. The passion, respect and energy must have been amazing.
We hope you enjoy...

About a week and a half ago our dear from Gail awarded us with the "SCHMOOZER AWARD"...we were in a flux then and put it aside.
Now, we also were given the award from Starrlight on Friday.
As we are trying to get on track and back to normal, we wanted to thank both of these wonderful women for the honor they have bestowed upon THE COUCH...
Here is what they said:
GAIL:
Vince - Call him "Bond, Vince Bond" Just like a spy, he stealthily made his way into my heart. The couch is my bed away from home.
STARRLIGHT:
Bond over at THE COUCH. I love this blog and it's owner. Bond is an awesome and and lovely human being as well. His fiction is amazing, go read the Matinees! And if you want to see the finest example of blogging community involvement go check out his latest post and join us in his latest mission. Or you can go directly to my next choice!
Ladies.. you honor me to no end....
Not sure who has received this and who has not...

Of course they do.. there was something very important missing when they were on hiatus.
Glad you liked the 'With love... and Pride' enough to use it on here. ;-p
HUGS
something important missing?
The chance to design your Halloween costume based upon my face?
The opportunity to sit and giggle over my hair styles?
I thought it added to the overall sentiment of the badge Kyra designed.
Congrats - you´re definitely a schmoozer! ;)
Congratulations. You certainly deserve this award! Glad you're back on track now. Looking forward to more great stories.
I got the music to play! And it was worth waiting for all day.
Most outstanding!
