I love the bass guitar

 
But I will never want a Beatle bass.

Sunny side up

 
I don't have a cast iron skillet but even if I did, I wouldn't cook sunny side up eggs in it.  Cast iron has to be hot enough to use properly, which makes sunny side up eggs have a bubbly hard egg white.  I want the egg white soft and smooth, so I prefer a non stick pan at low heat.  Non stick pans don't last long with me though, plus I'm not very fortunate with sunny side up eggs.  Something always goes wrong, and I become thrilled when both eggs turn out right.

Sugar?

 

I've been snacking hard lately.  The politicians came around giving away snacks as flood aid, so I had some of that.  No Oreos, though, instead I got other forms of chocolate flavored grease.  I did get some packs of ramen, so I don't have to buy some.  I also got a cup of ramen.  I haven't had that since I was in America.  I used to crack an egg in there before I put in the hot water.  No, I don't miss it.  My ramen game has stepped up.


Another restaurant gig for Mary.

Meat and greet

 
Where's Grace?  Honey instead of music industry, perhaps you should try networking with these guys.  Yeah they might be crooks, but so is the music industry.   At least they may be sincerely impressed with your guitar skills.

Music promotion sucks

 

My estimate is that there is an organization of music promoters and public relations that work against you if you don't subscribe to their services.  This is especially irritating for shows away from your home town.  Paying them isn't the solution, because there are those that pay more or are connected (major labels/the Mob) to them, so they could take your money and still blacklist you.


Biker bar gig!

Hm

 




Anybody who purposely makes you late for your session with Mary is a traitor.

158.  Are they waiting to see if the angels come to them, or your Lord, or certain of the Signs of your Lord!  The day that the Signs of your Lord do come, no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then, if it believed not before nor earned righteousness through its faith.  Say, "Wait you: we too are waiting."

A Jimi Hendrix cover

 

I'm sorry Honey, suddenly I can't seem to stop laughing.  Fleas.  What have you done to me?  I'm overwhelmed with a vision of folks in the Nashville scene on their hands and knees trying to scratch their ears with their feet...

I've really been into Roy Buchanan lately.  I'm even thinking about getting a Telecaster someday.  Come to think of it, my first fantasy guitar when I was a little kid was a Telecaster...  Here Roy does a Jimi Hendrix cover, "Hey Joe" going into "Foxy Lady".  He's not much of a singer, he just narrates the story while playing guitar.  And it works.  The energy is powerful, it works.  What matters is that it works.
