Thanks Andrew, and Frank Z. I had not seen or heard that word 'grody' in so
long. "grody" is a rhythmic version of "gross" - right?
The whole idea of a mouth retainer as "grody" is just right - part of the
repertoire of a detail oriented Valley boy or girl. If I had grown up there,
I, too, would have hopped on Frank's Moon Unit, early. Even if it was as a
grody road manager, wiping off the instruments after the groupies.
Grode,dude.
