    Toro

    First time out this spring with my little Toro. At this point she owes me nothing, yet she keeps on turning over and doing her job. Today marked the start of her 6th season... Damn grass was already too damn high... She grumbled a bit. Took 12 pulls and 4 extra pumps of her primer and then...

    Dickey Betts dies at 80

    I love Clapton. For me he was at his best post Cream. During Derek and the Dominos and then the short lived Blind Faith. Not to mention the reimagining fo his songs on Unplugged. To my mind he went from show off virtuosity ro musicality during that period. I know it's just me, but I find...

    Dickey Betts dies at 80

    "Live At the Fillmore East" Just read a tribute from Steve Stevens, who is Billy Idol's long-time guitarist and is also a great player. He said if you grew up playing guitar in the 70s Fillmore East was your bible. And then there was Eat a Peach.

    RIP Dickey Betts. Every time I play a solo I hear a little Dickey in me. I was fortunate to see him in cincert several times with ABB and once years later with his band Great Southern. He was a great. Super melodic and super fluid player who was at the forefront of southern rock. Ans he...

    Do you remember when you started playing guitar

    My sister had a really hard to play, crappy, fat and wide necked classical that I struggled to master my first chords on when I was 10. I saved up my allowance and lawn mowing money and bought a little Kalamazoo parlour guitar. When I was in 6th grade, 55-years ago. I don't suck but I should...

    Open mic nite(s)

    Do you guys prefer people playing original songs or covers at open mics? I would rather hear a cover of a good song than most crappy originals I hear out there. One open mic I have played a few times requires that one of your 2 songs be an old timey or traditional song.

    Open mic nite(s)

    Finally some snow

    Ugh. We were out skiing in warm, sunny Bend, OR. Sure it was nice but while we were relegated to skiing groomers and slush it was nuking snow in VT. Just got home yesterday.
