my old morning ritual

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STfEPWB6MJs I used to wake up everyday to this guy’s website. Glory to the day…here’s a healthy helping of angst and paranoia. There are things that happen…there are things we can do something about…but to live each day aware of … Continue reading

vinyl

I’m reading a book called Record Store Days by Gary Calamar and Phil Gallo now and it’s bringing back a lot of memories.  I guess that’s a trend right now…see yesterday’s post if you don’t notice any continuity.  I’m not … Continue reading

everyone has a “back in the day”

Until you get old enough to have a “back in the day” moment, it doesn’t really hit you that everyone has a yesterday. When I was in High School, I played bass and screwed around with playing in a couple … Continue reading

the old rock solid

There are performers who remain so rock solid, who’ve been around for so long, that it’s easy to take them and their gifts for granted. I was and am a big Jesse Winchester fan.  There’s not a lot that’s flashy … Continue reading

early morning

I wake up like clockwork. I wake up like clockwork early in the morning. Maybe it’s my subconscious telling my body, “you better wake up!  There isn’t much time left!”…I don’t really know.  I don’t know when you cross some … Continue reading

woodshed

There are two things that I’ve noticed happen when you build and finish a new woodshed. I don’t really understand physics but this doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense to me. The first thing is this:  when you’re … Continue reading

last night i had the strangest…

Oh, man!! What a weird dream! The dreams that I seem to remember the strongest seem to come around right before I wake up. Last night’s was no exception…weird.  I remember that all the dogs I’d ever met on the … Continue reading

it’s relative

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcVwLrAavyA It’s chilly here in North Carolina this morning. I think that the computer program that tells me how to feel (temperature wise, at least) says that it’s 37 degrees outside this morning. So I feel kind of chilly. My … Continue reading
