I'm a little vague on dates in that era but I saw her in a roadhouse on 
the Albany-Schenectady road. It must have been fairly early in her career 
since the stage was only a raised platform about 4' high, with people 
walking up to give her pints of Southern Comfort.

That is a problem. Depending on the season I tend to have camping gear, 
snowshoes, bows, axes, coveralls, trekking poles, a bicycle, and sometimes 
even an Advanced Elements inflatable kayay stuffed in the back of the 
Yaris.

I kept the Firebird. That's a case in point. I had a '73 Mustang and when 
a friend and I went grocery shopping and came out with a groaning cart, I 
popped the trunk. She looked at it and said "I don't think this is the 
sort of car a guy interested in a woman with kids drives." She was right. 
After '73 Ford came out with the Mustang II kiddie car. I switched to 
Camaros. Comfortable, but the same ridiculous trunk. Then in '82 my 
fondest dreams came true, the Camaro/Firebird line became hatchbacks. The 
Firebird had retractible headlights aand I thought it was better looking.
