My girlfriend bought us tickets for my 18th birthday, went and saw them at Henry Levitt Arena. Really good show, certainly should be in the Rock and Roll HOF.

[Mr. Obvious]

Saw that show as well as the one outside at Cessna.

Corey's passing also made me think about Hoyt Axton, from Oklahoma City, who wrote several of their biggest hits.

Hoyt Axton's Mother wrote "Heartbreak Hotel."

Now that's a cool fact. Obviously songwriting was in their dna. Hoyt wrote (or co-wrote) 'Joy to the world', 'never been to Spain' among others.

Laura Nero wrote Eli’s Coming

Is that the same Hoyt Axton who invented the "Bathroom Buddy"?
