Tuesday morning at 3:13, September 30, my Dad passed away. He was 80 years old. He liked coming to the house and listen to music and listen to me play. I played football, baseball, basketball, and track in high school and football in college and he never missed a game. Maybe this isn't the place for this type of news but I had to write it somewhere. It was on my mind at this time so I wrote it. I'll miss the man..............
Man, I just watched Boz Skaggs on the HDN on television. It was some good music! It's times like this that I'm glad I have a surround-sound system. I didn't know he had so many hits. I think I'm going to get his Greatest Hits CD. There are some great blues guitar on the show. Try to catch it sometime.
High temperature, 99, high humidity...what a nice day to work. I got to replace a 150 pound motor on a compressor for a 345 kva air breaker system today. In the middle of a substation yard, no shade, and on white rock...gotta love it! Does anyone ever really hit the lottery???
We had a nice jam session yesterday(Sunday). 4 guitars and my bass showed up. Some of the songs... pride and joy...stevie raye vaughan cowgirl in the sand...neil young how long...eagles tequila sunrise...eagles lying eyes...eagles ballad of curtis loew...lynyrd skynyrd the breeze...lynyrd skynyrd does fort worth ever cross your mind...keith whitley run through the jungle...CCR, fogerty magnolia...poco rose of cimmaron...poco all ready gone...eagles long cool women...... and quite a few more. It was a real good time.
Whoops, I got in trouble today on here. One too many SX threads. It was only the second thread. It's hard telling how many "what amp should I buy" and "what strings should I use", "Behringer sucks" threads are on here...a whole lot. Oh well, f*ck 'em if they can't take a joke. I better be a good boy...gotta go for now.
Here's a Skynyrd song I like a lot. Simple Man, Freebird, Gimme 3 Steps are the songs you usually hear. The Ballad of Curtis Loew has some good guitar parts and the lyrics are good. I do add a little on the bass parts but that's just me screwing around. Hopefully this link opens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B38gnPiWUfo
Man, where was spring? I think we skipped it and went straight to summer. It's around 92 now with high humidity, brutal, and it's just begun. The bad thing is we get some rain about every other day or so and the damn grass keeps growing. I cut 3 acres this morning and weed eated for an hour or so. Now it's time to pop open a Bud Light, sit back and play the Geddy a bit. Then the Cardinals are on at 6 so I'll chill and watch them. See ya...gotta cool off.
Man, weekends are short. Mine started Thursday kind of. Friday I was at the hospital all day getting tests done on my shoulder. It sure doesn't look good, red as hell and sore. Saturday I had to cut grass, about 3 1/2 acres and today I painted 2 doors and trimmed a tree. Too much work for a weekend. I did get to play around on my bass for a couple hours though. I played both the Geddy and the Ibby. Taking time to watch a little baseball with an ice bag on my shoulder...fun. The Cardinals did pull another one out though. See ya for now.......
Ok, I'm trying to figure out how to upload pictures so they are bigger. So far, no luck. I hit download and it tells me the pic must be less than 300KB whatever the hell that means.
