When I first heard this song on his album, I figured it was a goofy country song. You know, wife left me and took the dog kind of thing. https://youtu.be/jK_9ppta_M0 Turns out it wasn't. On the live CD, Emmylou Harris tells how she loves Mark Knopfler's songs. There's always a story. When they were prepping … Continue reading Sunday Music, on Saturday.
Say, That’s a Reasonable Likeness
I've been playing around with ArtFlow, trying to get a reasonable likeness of myself. It came pretty close. Close My beard is no longer as full, but it is a full one these days. Compare it to a graphic my son-on-law made for me: Me with no grey I'll try and find a real shot … Continue reading Say, That’s a Reasonable Likeness
Planning for the Future
We spent some time checking in with our financial planners. Good news is, I'm not going to have to work five years after I'm dead in order to retire. We both could call "no mas" and go part time at 65, if we wanted. Which we plan to do. This is all predicated on no … Continue reading Planning for the Future

Especially if the soloist is a woman that is very, very close looking to your daughter, who you've heard play this piece a few hundred times.
De-Stinking the Car
I've been hooked on Vice Grip Garage for some time. When he's cleaning these old cars, Derek and his helpers use Sprayway Products, which he endorses on the site. So, I did the right thing and bought one of everything. Three of the cans I got Good thing too, since my car was filthy, and … Continue reading De-Stinking the Car

This was at thing in my misguided youth... https://youtu.be/7Zh5oMJo3co If you haven't heard Little Feat's "Waiting for Columbus" you gotta get it. They recorded that album live at "the Bayou" in Georgetown DC, where I've spent many, many a night. The DJ that introduced them, "Cerphe" was a fixture in the DC area radio scene. … Continue reading Sunday Music
Ribbons
I was walking the dogs the other day and noticed orange ribbons tied on tons of trees in my neighborhood. The walk at the entrance to the park I figured, what the hell. Who's virtue signaling what?

https://youtu.be/Nu4tjTyqbho An amazing rendition. Do you think there's a soul under 40 that could even dream of those lyrics? or even the situation that caused the song to be crafted in the first place? BB King's voice is epic. I can't think of another singer with that tenor and power. And the dude's what? Over … Continue reading Sunday Music
