The Competitor
Came home from band practice Tuesday night, all excited. Our drummer couldn’t make it; so rather than slave over the ‘originals’ we worked up some covers. I got to sing one; if I’d figured out my guitar solo better at … Continue reading
Disappointing Trading Cards
My daughter and I spent the day together. I asked her where she wanted to go after dance this morning, and she said “The museum with the PEZ dispensers.” Meaning the Geppi Entertainment Museum. The highlight (for my daughter) was … Continue reading
The Weird Orioles Season That Just Happened; Sports Dad
Well, that was a strange baseball season for Orioles fans. Which I nominally am. I’m pretty sure I quit caring about them when they ran Eddie Murray out of town. They went from first to third between 1983 to 1984 and … Continue reading
Rockie Bee, Occasional Man of MUUUUUUUUUSIC!
I’ve been meaning to write for months, but I’ve been busy. Stupid busy since mid-June. In mid-June, I played a solo gig at an outdoor festival. My son had just had his tonsils taken out and came home with the … Continue reading
Points of Origin; the Wind That Shakes The Stars
So this Wednesday, I’m going to see my old bandmate, Dan Sartain, at the Black Cat in Warshington, D.C. I even bought a ticket thru the compooper roughly a month ago. Hey, I’m married with kids. There’s none of this, … Continue reading
A Few Thoughts Inspired By Doc Watson
So Doc Watson passed the other day. I don’t recall ever seeing him on television (and I used to watch Studio 330 Sessions fairly regularly when we first got cable), or hearing him all that much on the radio (and … Continue reading
The Search Is Over
The Alabama State Fairgrounds in Five West. Lord knows I love ’em. First, of course, is because that’s where the Batmobile of Birmingham was displayed when I lived down there. Second is the flea market, where you could get massive … Continue reading
‘…And Laugh, When He’s Conquered And Won.’
So, I looks on ye Olde Book of The Faces today and finds out my archest of arch-enemies is on his deathbed. No, sirrussly, this time it is FO’ REALZ. Owing to his nasty habits and middle-age, he wound up … Continue reading
Nyoo Viddyohs
I’ve been wanting to get some videos from ye olde Luckiemanne dayes posted on Youtube; my friend Jim just sounds so good on the guitar, I just wanted to share. What the hell. We’ll call a spade a spade here. … Continue reading
‘Phantom Menace:’ A Look Back
Took the Golden Boy to see ‘The Phantom Menace’ this morning. The Boy’s only been excited about it since, well, November. He even figured out how to read a calender so he’d know when ‘The Phantom Menace’ came out. Gotta … Continue reading
