I still haven't heard anything other than the release date announcement. I wonder if certain levels got handled first. I bought the bundle of 6 discs (including the new one); gave me a chance to fill in a couple of gaps in my collection. Still waiting for shipping notification .

OK, how's this? The wife and I just came back from Scotland where we saw the Rolling Stones.<br /><br />There's been much conversation on this board about their declining skills and I will agree it was on display in Edinburgh last Saturday. I mean; they opened the show with Start Me Up and Keef still fucked it up!<br /><br />And you know what? We did not care. We were there to celebrate the Stones and my wife's birthday. We had a great time with 50K+ rowdy (albeit well behaved} Scotch fans. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. <br /><br /><br />kevin mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-59128081012115506092018-06-14T12:38:07.776-07:002018-06-14T12:38:07.776-07:00Great idea, and how I love your writing and how yo...Great idea, and how I love your writing and how you tell a story.<br /><br />With that: Wondrous Stories--Yes (no laughing!)<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-BMlq_zyko<br />Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-19520734082368674422018-06-14T05:30:17.943-07:002018-06-14T05:30:17.943-07:00White Lion's "Little Fighter."

Thank you!!<br />My guilty pleasure today is the 5th Dimension's "Last Night (I Didn't Get To Sleep At All." I've always loved the singles this group produced and instantly take me back to a much simpler time of high school dances and polyester suits. Marilyn McCoo's vocals are spot on and the sonwriting simple, soaring and brilliant. Never tire of hearing this song and the way it juxtaposes with other more "serious" songs on my shuffle play is sublime.<br /><br />https://youtu.be/VBBIZkOKprADaveFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949913305152867765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-536304286415213772018-06-13T15:58:02.107-07:002018-06-13T15:58:02.107-07:008-5 says no, but I’ll try by God I’ll try!

When I was in New Orleans in April, I saw Jon Cleary play and he finally mentioned a release date, July 13. I thought, well at least it’s coming. Well I got an email yesterday from Jon Cleary that said the package was on its way. Not only is it early, but it’s a month early. Scheduled delivery tomorrow.

I've written about him on these pages before, he's one of my favorites. 'Out From Under'is another strong set of songs. Michael has been on a roll since getting sober a few years ago. I highly recommend this. My wife and I have it on regular rotation at our house. Here's a link to one of my favorite songs, 'Celtic Sea': <br /><br />https://youtu.be/TalRUdALpRw<br /><br />Check it out, hope you enjoy.

You don't have to feed parking meters either.<br /><br />I'm a member of the FaceBook group "Awesome Cheap Guitars". <br /><br />To get accepted you must answer 3 questions, the first being: Ace Of ________?<br /><br />The obvious answer being "Spades", but a fair number say "Base" or "Hearts". Neither is really wrong and will not necessarily disqualify a prospective member, of which there are 56,000 and counting.<br /><br />I was spending a fair amount of time there, and a couple of my posts were extremely popular, one receiving over 700 "likes", when I was invited to be a moderator.<br /><br />Most of the time things are civil and the community full of good advice about problems, dollar value, and gear.<br /><br />Yesterday two different people posted, using slightly different words, "Which is Better Tube amps or Solid State?". These are designed to encourage arguments which end up with people insulting one another. Personally I'm "Tube" guy, and think modelling amps are lame, and it's okay to express opinions, but both posts rapidly turned into, <br />"You're stupid!", <br />"NO! YOU ARE! And YOU'RE A PIECE OF SHIT!". <br />As moderator, I get to delete these comments and block the authors, or boot them out of the group altogether. So many were acrimonious that I deleted the posts entirely.<br />Score one for civility.<br /><br />It feels good booting trolls.buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-62974575728154539802018-06-13T07:58:15.867-07:002018-06-13T07:58:15.867-07:00sounds like we could use a big laugh, all of us:

I feel good about that. <br /><br />Backstory: Two or three years ago, my wife, Kathy, wanted to turn her downstairs craft room into an extra bedroom. Having two extra bedrooms upstairs already, I brought up that I was hoping to someday (maybe... possibly...) turn that room into a dedicated listening room (I have another room downstairs with all of my albums, CD's, etc). <br /><br />This discussion eventually turned into a 'Hopes and Dreams and Things We Both Want To Do Before We Die' dialogue (if you're married, you may have been through this at some point) that ended with her suggesting that I take money out of savings, buy myself that nice stereo system I've always wanted and make the room into something I've always dreamed of... which I have now. I love my wife dearly for allowing me to do this. <br /><br />Oh yes, the lamp. Kathy knew I was looking for a retro-looking floor lamp for the listening room and she found one at a local antique store that fits perfectly in the space it was intended for. My listening room is just about perfect now and that makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over.<br /><br />Nice idea for Wednesdays, Sal.<br /><br />Randy<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
