@mario1956, What was THAT like to drive? Did you need wheelie bars?

I tolerate SWMBO's sewing machine "problem" since she tolerates my guitar "problem". Scored major points in the "I married the best man in the world!" competition when I stopped at a random yard sale and found her this for $5: Singer Featherweight 221, complete with case. She had been...

Saw Ari Hest and Chris Trapper at an intimate house concert last night. @davismanLV, it was spectacular. Just the two of them, acoustic guitars, and trading songs in an ever-ascending spiral of brilliant songwriting. They're out on tour together and have a few more dates remaining. There was a...

I think my family is trying to tell me something. A t-shirt they bought me: A sign that mysteriously appeared in my home office one day: And it now occurs to me these are corollaries of our family motto: "Often wrong. Never in doubt."

That takes me directly to the opening line of:

Me. And that made me think of old Coors cans:

Saw this on a telephone pole "downa shore" and thought how appropriate for cranky old codgers like me.

You clearly have not met her.

That song floors me every time I play it. SWMBO and I are seeing Mr. Hest and Chris Trapper at a house concert in late September. Really looking forward to it.

Ouch. I've wasted spent enough time watching surf videos on YouTube that I can identify most of those breaks. I'm not proud of that. My favorite carnage video is shot at The Wedge in Newport Beach. When it's big and you get waves reflecting off the jetty and the beach, the bodies start flying.

Built a pretty elaborate swingset out of pressure treated lumber for Thing One and Thing Two in our first house's backyard in the early '90's. Since I knew the ungrateful little charming urchins would be playing back there I decided I needed to clean up the probably-toxic sawdust and scraps...

Depends on how toasted they are.

Congrats - I'm envious. Big fan of FoW and huge fan of JoPo - he is one of the more musical lead guitarists I've heard. He possesses that "right note at the right time" ability that most players lack.

Necessary equipment for this song:

Mom, the RN was a big believer in that stuff. I remember the smell, the way it dyed your skin and the way it stung. God forbid you showed up with some road rash from a bicycle get-off.

I love mine. It is my "working in the yard and drenched in sweat" hat. It is pretty gross and smelly, but I refuse to wash it and remove that hard earned patina. I particularly like the way my sweat dries into a salt marker that looks like a tide line. Was walking through a local garden...

Then there's this guy. Saw him twice at the Ram's Head in Annapolis - great shows. Equally good on the six string and steel:

Some of my favorite steel guitar playing of Jerry's is on this:
