I'm working and parenting and struggling to survive in this economy, but it got to the point where not playing music was not an option for me anymore. It brings a happiness to me that I just cannot get anywhere else. I’m going to be 37 in a few weeks, but your comment still hits the mark.

Your post reminded me of all the time I wasted working overtime and building a business in my younger years when I should have been doing things like what you are doing. I almost wept yesterday when I read about Orianthi Panagaris... She is living my dream! I hope you have great success or at least a hell of a good time trying.

I agree with you more often than not, though I can see how your tone might be offputting to some. I typically try to keep this blog free of politics, though you're always welcome to drop a comment on my other blog, Obama Action Comics. And yes, Les does rock! I've been on a really big prog rock kick lately and the Flying Frog Brigade discs are in heavy rotation. His version of Thela Hu Gingeet (sp?) is insane!

Hey sorry about chasing your buddy tailback away, my "athesitic and anti-american" rants he told me chased him off. But what can I say, I love where I live but I hate Washingtons policy and believe that patriotism is BS that humans are humans whether Afgani or Iraqi or American, that was too much for the tailback. Sorry, he was my friend too but he now hates me because I "crossed the line." But he has fallen prey to people like Kamal Saleem http://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/press-releases/gazette-com-speakers.html it seems tailback was a right wing christian with a seemingly reasonable presentation. Les rocks!

There were no hangers on. Everyone played. And this one guy had the most beautiful Les Paul I'd ever seen. I think it was some kind of 1950's reissue. It had lots of really shiny chrome and a really sweet sunburst finish. Hey Michael, it actually turned out really well last night. There were no hangers on. Everyone played.

They do both play bass though. Oops, Bob and Mark are not brothers, it’s a father (Bob) and son (Mark) outfit. They do both play bass though.
