You know, it is statistically proven that 78% of white men sing like this!

My world can be so strange....

If we weren't a society victimized by our own
propaganda wrongly proclaiming us number 1
at every fucking thing we can think of.
We might be able to actually
face and fix our problems...?
We are so busy bullshitting ourselves
we cannot see the truth!
ANOTHER-drop in US life-expectancy
I remain in a desperate, awful guitar slump.
Have been for awhile..
It seems as if....
I can make nothing new happen and the material
I thought I had down now sounds like shit...!
I have no idea what to do to get my Mojo back?
This has been going on for approximately 
a month now and it has been making me fucking insane....
Luckily I have a wonderful wife who realizes that
new guitars are the scientifically proven method of
eliminating a guitar player's slump,
(or getting them to quit bitching anyway..)
so---meet my new
Gretsch Electromatic Hollowbody----
You should hear me play--
Ricki Nelson's
"Hello Mary Lou"
 on this baby---
it's got that late-50's early 60's tone...
I've never owned a Gretsch before and
I cannot put it down!!!
The slump is over just like that..!

that the Republic of Ireland
  is now a more
socially responsible, advanced society
 than the United States...

Republican economics...
Big tax cut for the company and stockholders...
Meanwhile
the workers get plant closures and laid off....

Missouri Gov-eric-greitens resigns
When I become severely depressed--
over Trump and his legions of sycophants..
I remind myself there is still hope----

Just ordered this used...
I saw James Taylor in Lincoln Nebraska
in 1970 with about 50 other people...
This was before his first album came out...
Nobody knew who he was...but he was great!

You do the voice, I'll move the jaw----

I realize I been a downer on the blog lately---
so's here's a cute doggie picture...
that makes it all better-----
right---right...?

you're a British royal who marries an American...
Your future wife's step-sister, 
who is way too weird to be invited to the wedding...
has a formal wear required party---
at her trailer in Florida....
during your wedding to try to show you up...???

Just when you start believing it's all dark out there...
something wondrous occurs----
Image-Texas-teenager-shielding-elderly-woman-scorching-sun
Just when I was starting to think good thoughts about human beings
 there's this little tid-bit....

I'm still in a mental guitar slump...
So I am working on the physical rather than the musical
..like on my guitar room and equipment repairs---
I was given, yes given a broken--
Traynor YCV40 amplifier.
The YCV40 is a Canadian manufactured, 
all wood cabinet, 2 channel, 12" Celestion speakered, 
combo tube amp with spring reverb
 and weighs in at 47 fucking pounds....!!!!
Years&years ago my buddy Bill and I used and hauled tons
(yes I'm absolutely sure it added up to tons)
of Traynor amps around New Jersey gigging.
So I knew Traynor's were not only heavy as fuck...
but  they were almost bullet proof---
cause
we dropped them a lot....
traynor amps
This amp sounded blown..hideous buzz...
after warming up it just wouldn't work...
which I am sure is why it was gifted to me...
So I spent the day disassembling cleaning, 
pulling and replacing tubes...checking connections
and reassembling
this amp...
Believe it or not it now works fine....?
I had to just order a shitload of strings...
Everything needs new strings...

Clint Walker passed away at 90.
