RE: Some Hard Rock and Heavy Metal for Three Tune Tuesday

in Musicyesterday

Sammy Hagar I knew, the other two bands I didn't!

as front man for the band Montrose

Montrose is a wee town on the coast of Scotland about an hour north of here.
About twenty years ago my brother lived there, and on my wife's birthday I bought her a fishing rod as she wanted one.
So we went fishing with the dog. It was about a miles's walk along the beach/rocks to the spot where I wanted to be. The dog a big fluffy Alaskan Malamute was having a whale of a time running around. Where we were was not that far from the lighthouse and behind was cliffs.
I was fishing and Mrs T was moving up the rocks as the tide was coming in.
Next thing bam she is on the ground looking upwards, she had slipped and her ankle was obviously broken with the foot pointing the wrong way. We did have a big mobile phone and I called our 999 your 911. The call centre I was put through to kept asking for the post code of where we were. Over here our post codes and much more precise than your zipcodes and one code can often be for part of a street.
Well eventually I see these blue ants coming down the cliffs. It was the coastgoard guys abseiling down and the wee pup who was a gentle giant, was in prime defender mode and was growling at the coastguards. Wolf mode on big time.

Eventually two ambulances came and we got her to hospital and a five hour surgery with titanium rods and pins etc.

Sorry Montrose everytime I see it, I get reminded of that!
