Back in the day, the Beatles were all the rage. I had the red best hits, the blue best hits. More I listen, the less I liked them, to be honest. Now, they have maybe a half dozen songs that resonate with me. This is one: https://youtu.be/WpYT9NhU_ds Baby's good to me, you knowShe's happy as … Continue reading Best Beatles Song

I'm sure I've posted this before. But I'm old and forget shit. https://youtu.be/1YQkRFzOMEQ For the uninititated, a 12 string guitar has roughly double the string tension of a six string. An Acoustic has a higher (generally) action than an electric. When you play a 12 string, you notice straight away that you don't have the … Continue reading Friday Music
Put it in the Box
I have a small SUV that I mostly drive around with the back seats down. And why not? I don't remember anyone actually riding in them. Besides, if I need to drag the dogs someplace, it's ready to go. This way, the seats stay in great shape. But there's a problem, which hit me in … Continue reading Put it in the Box

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.

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

When I had facebook, this video would hit my feed about every week. And I'd watch it through each time. https://youtu.be/8L82II1lNjo Masters. You're looking an masters playing. Look how seamlessly they pass leads back and forth. The older voice of Steve Winwood makes the song even better than it was back in the day. It's … Continue reading Sunday Music
Ooh…a project!
We have a gnarled mess of a tree in our front yard. It has to be cut down. I'd like to cry. Why? Because it's one of 3-4 huge trees that shade my house lowering my electric bill in the summer like no one's business. But it's rotted. And if it tumbles, it'll smash my … Continue reading Ooh…a project!
Keeping my hands busy in the cold…
It's cold outside, and I'm inside reprocessing video for e-learning lessons. This is what I do when I'm not traveling to cities to complain about. Creating the same training that I do live for web based delivery. Editing video to do this is insanely boring. More so in this case, Since I'm having to rework … Continue reading Keeping my hands busy in the cold…
