I "liked" it on YouTube.

Very clever. Thanks. :)

Alright Bill!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! What are you cooking this Christmas?

Oh Haha 12-24-2010 01:14 PM

Cool song.



May I suggest you hold the last chord longer and get a bit of feedback next time?

techweenie 12-24-2010 01:20 PM

Outstanding. Bravo.

dlockhart 12-24-2010 01:41 PM

That made me smile.
Very well done

Icemaster 12-24-2010 02:22 PM

Well played sir, that was some good stuff.

Guys, I feel like a real tool / douche bag... I had a comment posted on my YouTube video about the black audi wagon owner being deceased... I did some research and found that he was also a Pelican... I did not know anyone of the people's names involved with this story prior to writing the song and was just trying to have a little fun. I have decided to take the video down as I feel it is in bad taste... My apologies to anyone that I may have brought up painful memories to during this holiday season....

pwd72s 12-24-2010 08:18 PM

To the contrary...leave it up. I'm still in contact with R GRuppe people...some of the "nice guys"...and they consider it a form of tribute.

futuresoptions 12-24-2010 08:21 PM

I don't know Paul, I do to in a way, but given the circumstances and out of respect for the family I think I will have to decline at this time...

pwd72s 12-24-2010 08:54 PM

Your call....good job on your part either way...

I'm completely in the dark here. Who died? The owner of the Audi wagon in the famous "ruined" rgruppe photo? :confused:

Absolutely right, Paul. Let me clear the air a bit so no one feels bad.

We will always remember the late, great Marc Sanders, aka "Drago" here on Pelican, as "Mr. Black Audi Wagon". It wasn't his car, but it was his controversy - he's the one who started the shytestorm over it here on Pelican. He had all kinds of nasty things to say about the club and its members, and that thread carried on and on, getting kinda ugly all the way around before it finally died a slow death.

Folks who didn't know us kind of assumed Drago had earned a position as a life-long enemy of the club, our nemesis, or whatever. So what did we do about it? We made him a member. I hauled his sorry (and rather imposing, at 6'8 and 300 pounds) ass down to Treffen (our annual gathering). He was about as nervous as a whore in church, trying to keep a low profile (as much as a guy his size could), and wondering the whole time when he would be recognized and his comeuppance would come due.

So a plan was hatched - a "chance meeting" was arranged wherein he would meet R Gruppe co-founder Cris, alone in the hotel elevator. It was a glass elevator, visible to the entire lobby and lounge area of the hotel. Damn near the whole club was watching as Cris "just happened" to step into the same elevator as Marc. By the time the door had opened three floors later, Cris had offered him his hand, and membership in the R Gruppe.

Marc was a great guy, a very good friend, and a much loved member of our club. He left us all too soon, and is still deeply missed by us all. He will forever be affectionately remembered as "Mr. Black Audi Wagon" among his friends in the club. Hell, while he was still alive, we were considering instituting a "Black Audi Wagon Achievement Award" in his name, to be awarded yearly to the member who most successfully got non-members' panties in a twist. Maybe we still should - Marc would laugh his ass off over something like that.

Anyway, Bill - no harm, no foul. Marc would have loved the video. Put it back up if you like. Those of us that knew and loved the big guy see it as just his style, and something he would appreciate, in his own warped and lovable way.

Okay, I have re-uploaded the video... I hope Marc is smiling down from above... Prior to me reading Jeff's post, I believe I PM'd him (on YouTube) saying that I would honor Marc in another way by dedicating my "Flight of the Pelicans" song to him. I thought about it after I sent the email and figured that it would be best to honor all of our missing Pelicans with the song and I went ahead and added Early S Mans screen name to the video description as well. If you can think of any other screen names that need to be added to the description please PM me and let me know... Thanks
