    I've never heard of that guy but he plays a mean mandolin. I almost went with India by Coltrane, but opted for Beethoven because Trane builds more gradually whereas Lud has more immediate punch:

    I´d say your "fables of past" are saved public on the internet.
    As long as BF24 is online, its no matter of time for the next generation to have a good laugh about the shitload of yours.
    Its also a memorial of extraordinary obstinacy, carrying this diliric agenda for a 100 pages. Simply unmatched.

    It's the thread ESB Classic deserves, but not the thread it needs right now.

    Bowe would have been a top 10 ATG had he not been so bizarrely willing to take so many unnecessary punches and given himself completely to Futch's Yoda-like wisdom. He shot himself in the foot, and it makes me mad every time I think about it. One of my top 10 favorite fighters.

    All he lacked was the dedication.
    All Carnera lacked was a chin , and power.lol
