      As a dad myself, he's the lucky one. They don't care that he's a legend. He's dad. These moments are priceless to dads.

      I'd say they all should feel lucky!!! For a dad, nothing more special than doing what you love with your kids...and for Kids, it's building memories that will last a life time. Music is the universal catalyst for creating memories.

    John Fogerty remains an ambiguous figure. During his heyday in Creedence Clearwater Revival it was he who wrote the band's hits, from Proud Mary (1969) to their last million-seller, Sweet Hitch-Hiker (1971). Since then, his solo career has produced gems such as Centerfield (1985) and Blue Moon Swamp (1997), both of which have demonstrated Fogerty's knack for concocting songs.

      If I may, in 1986 I saw MR. Fogerty in a venue south of Boston known as GreatWoods. He was in his non CCR phase(understandably so) and towards the end of the show he mentioned that, this could be the year (1986 Red Sox, good year) someone threw a RedSox cap on stage, and he put it on and whipped out the baseball bat guitar and played "Centerfield". Fast forward too 1997, in an outdoor summer concert on the outskirts of Boston, there he is again, but now singing CCR songs, well apparently after one of his only love songs(to his wife Julie) in a kind of quiet moment, I screamed out Fortunate Fucking Son!!! and by golly the band played it. Great concert! It was a Sunday night concert and I had taken the next day off. Laying in bed the next morning, the phone rang, I could not see be.cause my contact lenses that I left in all night and seldom wore were glued to my eyeballs and my voice was shot form screaming the night before! Whoever called me was quickly dispatched . Well I saw him again a year later and was only under the influence of a couple puffs on a joint. All great concerts!! sorry for the long bs, but I love seeing John and his family!!

    I was wondering when your Family & you were going to play “Centerfield” for us, John! That is the greatest “baseball” song ever written! It is such a “catchy” tune. Like I stated before, you, John, have left an indelible mark in R&R history, as well as music in general. Great playing, also, Kelsy, Tyler and Shane! Best/ PP❤️
