If you saw the comments week when I posted photos of my rehearsal dinner and wedding, then you saw comments from John telling about the bachelor party given for Toby. It was apparently a bit wild - so wild that Toby escaped while he was still thinking and functioning and before the other guys could paint him blue. The closet in Rick Gills apartment joined the next apartment where Ed Hampton lived. Toby went into the closet at Rick's and left the party via Ed's apartment. He said hello to Ed as he went through and out to safety.
While Toby was having a rather wild bachelor party, I was watching old movies at my friend's, Joy and Lori's trailer-house. I was the first of my friends to get married, and we were too young to really know how to party. We watched "Funny Face" with Audrey Hepburn and drank soda-pop. A few girls took turns on Lori's motorcycle, but not me. I did not want to show up at my wedding wearing road-rash.
Since I posted my wedding pics on my FB page, I had lots of comments from old friends including Lori and Joy. Lori and Joy took this photo of Neil Young at my wedding reception. Joy took the photo, but did not get one of herself and Neil. We really were young and stupid. Anyway, Lori posted this for me on FB. Thanks, Lori.
Neil Young just happened to be in Red River and my wedding reception was the big party in town. So he came to my party, and he did join in with T.Z. Wright and the Motherlode band. I did speak to Mr. Young. I teased him about trying to steal the show from the bride, but I assured him I was glad he had come.

Neil Young Great performer and sound like a super nice guy.
I've been wondering for 35 years how in the world Toby got out of his bachelor's party!!! No wonder...he just disappeared, and through a closet...hee-hee. Smart man that Toby!!!
I had to forward this post to a friend of mine, who just happens to be an old friend of TZ Wright! She said she's sending it on to him.....
Staci, TZ and I are old friends too, and he is a friend on FB. TZ saw the pic on FB, but he does not know that I blog.
I am SO envious, but ya knew that.
My favorite Neil Young story... I had a co-worker friend in the wayback who had friends that own property in Northern California, and Neil Young is a neighbor (his ranch borders the friend-friend's property). Said friends got invited to dinner at Young's house and my co-worker and wife went along. ALL of us just fell out with envy when he told the story, except for one sweet young thang who ingenuously asked "Who's Neil Young?" The conversation STOPPED and she turned beet-red. "Well, I didn't know..." said she. She knows now.
Buck, there were some comments on my FB page that I thought you might enjoy:
Ralph said: The rest of the evening/early morning was spent in my apartment behind J.D. and Renay's. T.z. Wright asked to hang at my place because Vicki said he had to go elsewhere. What an amazing day.
Lori Dodson Cross said: Ralph, I remember you talking about how dirty his clothes were! I still think about that when I hear one of his songs! I still love him though!
It's a small world, huh? I guess he'll know you blog now!
Thanks for those, Lou.
what month and year was that wedding?
June 27, 1977
