Red Mayo Mayo

The question should be what haven't I been up to since 1974? I've done a lot, travelled a lot, and partied a lot, thankfully though I grew out of that partying stage or that would have eventually killed me. Now I am recently divorced and now living in Florida. I have started life over and I am enjoying every minute of it. My website is www.redsemporium.com

Okay, I guess I'll tell a Retko story. I was in his office getting my a$$ reamed for being tardy too many times. I had some shop cards and a couple of pens in my shirt pocket. Retko asked me what was in the pocket. I told him shop cards and he said, "What else?" I said pens, and pulled one halfway out and put it back. He said, "I know you have a pack of cigarettes in there." (I never did smoke) He came around his desk and grabbed me and started bouncing my head off that brick wall in his office. I just did what came natural to defend myself. I managed to knock him clear over his desk and he landed sideways in his chair. He scrambled back up and when he started back around the desk he saw that I was ready for him and he just sat right back down and yelled at the top of his lungs, "207 for the rest of the year for you!" When I went home and complained to my Mom about it, she just said, "Oh well! I'm sure it makes up for some things you did do and got away with."

Red now. In school many called me the Big Banana, just because I was being a class clown once and a teacher while giving me a lecture about it, said that I acted like some kind of big banana or something and a girl that liked me thought it was funny and decided to make the name stick.

I have partied privately with Molly Hatchet twice, George Thorogood, The Kingston Trio, John Fogerty (CCR), and Blood Sweat & Tears.
