another surprise

as I’ve said before, I’m often surprised at the songs some Musicians (mostly drummers) DON’T know…I mean really WILLIN’ by Little Feat? I’d understand if somebody called DOWN BELOW THE BORDERLINE, or any one of a bunch of Little Feat songs…but WILLIN’? Er, OK…Lou and I did (with just a warm-up) SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER […]

ya can’t always [do] what ya want…

but sometimes ya [do] what ya need…I guess *I* needed to stay in tonight…NOT my idea…I discussed my plans w/ the “roomie” the other day, but she doesn’t remember that…Mind you, she didn’t give me permission but she didn’t deny it either…until she got home from doing HER thing…and now the other FB is full […]

HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME AND/ OR NOT 2,NOT 3,NOT 4,NOT 5,NOT 6,NOT 7, UPDATED

OHHHHhhhhh my God the Lemur is on a virtual basketball high these days ever since the Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat in the last three games,and most notably game five in Miami…..lol….:) Now even I have noticed that in my attitude,you know the pictures I have made,and the things I have said were….well… a […]

that was fast or I guess there’s more to it than that

well, the prosperity I’ve been enjoying (“prosperity” being a relative term) is over…but I still have car insurance–for a car that is not quite drive-able…and the phone bill (due 6/22) is about $20…because I over paid the day before my 57th Birthday… I used to think that Musical ability alone would make my services desirable…it’s […]

SOMETHING IN THE AIR TONIGHT (with photo)

SOMETHING IN THE AIR TONIGHT There’s something in the air tonight, can’t quite figure out exactly what it is — something that makes my thoughts drift and wander and encourages me to think about things. Part of me hopes that the rain will come, washing away any residual sadness and fears. And part of me […]
