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----

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.

stupidity, narcissism and braggadocio catching?
