actually, this applies to any of the Arts I suppose (Humor is an art form, right?) but I try to stick with what I know best…if ya guessed “good” and “bad” you’re close–but no Dutch Masters for you…the two kinds of Music are: Music you like and Music ya don’t…that’s obvious to me and maybe you too, but it’s not obvious to everybody…last night at the open mic, I thought I was gonna get a chance to do me some “twangin'”–I like that stuff, and I’m pretty good at it…but the Bass player hates country Music and so he handed me his Bass (sigh)…as I had been using his guitar amp when I played (which was a bunch) and because I’m a fairly nice guy (or just a wuss; same coin, other side) I took the Bass and played YOUR CHEATIN’ HEART…Country Music is (IMO) fairly boring for Bass players…I guess the challenge is to make it interesting hopefully w\/o getting carried away…it was fun, and that counts for something…but because the Bass player apparently feels the need to be onstage as much as possible, he played guitar for that set…go figure…<\/span><\/p>\n

I really wish I could get into a working band with Multiple Musical Personalities…I’d like to think\u00a0MY tastes are diverse, but I’m not sure any audience would be ready to hear a band that would play YOUR CHEATIN’ HEART and follow that with CAN’T EXPLAIN and follow that<\/span> with YOU SHOULD BE DANCIN’…and play all three convincingly…it just isn’t done, but I think I could do it…and *I* think it would be cool to hear it…Rap does nothing for me and Heavy Metal does nothing for me…I’m not sure I can explain why and I don’t think I’m obligated to explain why–just as YOU are not obligated to explain why YOU like what I don’t like…THAT’S the thought that woke me up this morning, after four hours sleep…almost forgot–my guitar amp is a (not quite exact) copy of what I used (a FENDER HOT ROD DELUXE) but\u00a0the Fender\u00a0sounded way better to my ears; a psychological thing probably…<\/span><\/p>\n

some of the performers were (as always) er, uh, less than appealing to me, let’s put it that way for once…one of ’em was\/is horrible…everyone knows this but her…and when she asked me if I knew LOVE HURTS, I lied like a rug…and\u00a0winced from the audience…such is Life, I’m fairly glad I went…dunno what if anything is happening tonight…it’s snowing, but it ain’t supposed to be much…Tuesday is a different story, at least that’s what they were saying yesterday…for now, Life is Good…glad I woke up this morning…<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
