I feel pretty lucky getting to see him perform so many times. Best memory was when he held a Grand Rapids edition of the Whiplash Bash a couple days before new years, and I watched the whole show from the front edge of the stage standing three feet in front of him. I'll never forget that night! Pretty cool watching him shoot the Deer Target in the heart at the end of Fred Bear at LC Walker too. It was a big controversy because he used to shoot it at the sound station in the back of the floor, but the safety people went nuts after he did that a couple times, so he had to just do it on the stage.

I bid on a couple of items, each time outbid. I even took a few close to new cost. No dice.

That Bronco sure is nice.
 
I got to see him along with many other local bands of that era many times. Both the Amboy Dukes and Bob Seger played at Utica High Dances in the late 60's, among other famous bands.

Nugent used to wear an Indian costume and he was hauled off to jail because he had a hunting knife attached to his waist which was over 4" or something. That was at the Almont Movie Theater, which is still there I believe on the east side of Van Dyke.

There were teen clubs all over our area and we all went to them on Friday and Saturday nights. The most famous is The Grande Ballroom, of course.

Just my .02....grr

Do you think in 20 or 30 years from now,
they'll be referring to 2021 as "the good'ol days" :icon_sad:
 
I have a thing for Ithaca shot guns, especially the pump actions. I wouldn't mind item 253. I have a featherlight 16 gauge and my Dad has a feather light 12 gauge. I wound up buying my 16 gauge at an auction and knowingly overpaid given its condition just because I liked my Dad's gun so much. It was pre-internet days and I didn't know when I was going to see another one so I bought it. I tore it down and black oxided it (I worked in a machine shop at the time and we had a black oxide tank) and rebuilt it. They've always kind of amazed me that they load and eject through the same opening and still operate smoothly and rarely jam.
