When I can’t sleep, my Mind wanders…sometimes I replay Musical memories; sometimes I even imagine Musical things that haven’t happened yet, hoping that they will…for the first time that I can remember I lay awake thinking of the next “doodle”…the latest one is almost (but not yet) finished and I wanna get on with the […]

yet another so-called friend has apparently formed a duo with someone who is not me…I’m not grotesque looking, so I must be a major asshole or something…that’s ok, the retirement from Music will begin on 1/1/14…I’m debating whether or not there should/will be an announcement on the other FB…If anyone actually ASKS me to participate […]

I THINK I’m gonna be able to go to the Legion tonight, using the roomie’s car…the CHECK ENGINE light went off, *I* think that’s very good news–maybe it was just a loose gas cap…perhaps the roomie kinda resents that I’m gonna go have fun somewhere…didn’t she have fun last night? And she’s scheduled to go […]

going to my ex-sister-in law’s house for Thanksgiving, I was invited…being alone on a holiday isn’t that bad; still it is nice to be included with the roommie’s family… today is a paid holiday, I’m off tomorrow (w/o pay) too–hoping to go to the Legion O.M. and play…Maybe I’m not yet ready to give up […]

So I went to the AmerLegion open mic…I was invited by someone I know to help him play some Who songs…in addition, I played a bunch, sang some…was unusually adamant about wanting to play…no regrets (yet) had fun most of the time…One of the performers allegedly had a “hissy fit”–I missed that…Played with at least […]

Friday Fling #259 for November 22nd 2013 They are not as popular as they were back in the days of my youth, the middle ages of the twentieth century, the 1950s and 60s. But there were many pop hits back then which were known as “instrumentals” in that they were hit TUNES, without lyrics. […]

the house sitting gig is over, but I THINK I left some stuff at the house–like my newly purchased markers and paper (sigh)…maybe that’s some kinda omen…gonna go back and get ’em this morning and (while I’ve got borrowed wheels) pay the DMV… The acoustic jam at Lake Needwood was a fair amount of fun, […]

So the AmerLegion benefit is history…I sat in with one band for their whole (hour long) set and sat in with the Crimestoppers for a couple of songs–unbelievably I pushed for more; I didn’t get more, but I tried…I think I played a bit better than the last time I sat in with them (on […]
