The later years of my teenage life could be summed up by a couple of rock and roll songs Ian Drury's "Sex and Drugs and Rock'n'Roll" and the Meat Loaf hit "Two out of three ain't bad." Except I was sure missing "Number 1" on the list. In fact to use a baseball analogy, I'd yet to get past second base.
I was almost 20, with my degree in hand trying to decide between med and grad school (failed the idiot test here and chose grad school), fit from cycling more than 25 miles each day and working outside for the city parks department, but still a virgin.
My friends were in a band playing at a nearby bar that night, so I cycled there from home (Yes, still living with my parents - maybe that was part of my problem). Their band "One Short of a Six Pack" played a combination of country and rock'n'roll: late Byrds (sweetheart of the Rodeo), New Riders of the Purple Sage, Rolling Stones, and sometimes their own stuff which included bluegrass and banjo ragas, just to confuse people. They worked hard at being a good bar band - Blue Rodeo would be the closest of today's bands.
I made the usual round of tables, I knew at least a third of the people in the bar and between the beer and the dope, was feelin jus fine by 10:30 or so. Then the unexpected, a cute blonde whom I didn't know came up and said "Nice legs" (I was wearing cutoff jeans at the time), to which I of course responded "Shame about the face." Now I was slow, but not that slow. I introduced myself to Patti and her girlfriend, who conveniently disappeared, and kept close to her until closing time.
