My baby left me... left me sad and bluuuuueee....

Slappy, I don't have any song suggestions right now, but I do offer my sympathy. It sucks to go through that, even though we've all been there it's not any easier.

Remember, people are more important than things.

Okay, I thought of a few things. Maybe you should listen to Lyle Lovett's "She's Leaving Me because She Really Wants To." Gordon Lightfoot's "Sitdown Young Stranger" later retitled "If You Could Read My Mind" is an LP that I turn to at sad times, but maybe because of association. "Rainbow Eyes" by Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow is another good one. How about "Rosie" from Jackson Browne's "Running on Empty."

Just remember 'heavy metal' rots your brain!

May I recommend a large dose of Robert Cray followed with some Johnny Winter, Tinsley Ellis, Son Seals, and that old british blues band Led Zepplin. Wash it down with some Johnny Walker Black ( take it easy now) yeah you will miss her, look in the mirror and repeat after me," the name is Bond, James Bond" now get to work! TG

Hey Slappy,

Sorry to hear about the woman. Yeah, the "I need some space" is a major kiss-off. Hope this cloud has a silver lining for you. Check out "Handful of Blues" by Robben Ford and the Blue Line, especially his version of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". Killer.
PS I miss Colorado.

The old stereo rig had to go due to the debt which resulted in really poor roommate choice, but she WAS adamant about getting my stereo in the basement.

Every cloud has a silver lining. She didnt make much money and most of my earnings went to all the bills. With her out of the picture my financial situation has relaxed pretty nicely,so i will be able to put some more money in my stereo rig.

Yep, werent married, but i DID manage to buy her mothers house when they were finished renovating it. Granite, Marble, Hardwood, and Slate everywhere. The house is beautiful, and i got a killer deal on it.

As for the suggestion for the 18 year old, ARE YOU NUTS? My "girl" was 20, im 27, this time im looking for a girl of at least 25. Were not really broken up at this point, but the way this all happened gives me no doubt i will be single within a month.

And that of course, is the best time to buy stereo gear. No more of this "you dont need new speakers, those radioshack speakers sound perfectly fine", or "You are wanting to spend HOW MUCH on THAT UGLY THING? FORGET IT!"

hahahahahahaha

try eric clapton, E.C. was here
- "Have You Ever Loved a Woman"
