In addition to my huge greatness, I'm quite a guy.

There are times I cannot believe our world now--?

Researchers are wondering why---?

Some of our brain cells become more active

in the hours immediately after death than when we were alive?

In a surprise to no-one,

QAnon followers have a 3 times higher ratio

of mental health issues compared to the 

standard issued Murican'....

many-qanon-followers-have-reported-being-diagnosed-with-serious-mental-illness

But the real surprise to me in this article is that apparently,

19% of all standard issue Americans

 have reported mental health issues????

Seriously--WTF--?

Unfortunately another short blog this week...

I seem lately to be unable to get my 

shit together, to be organized.

I am working our yards for spring--

in a slump guitar wise--

and feeling as if I'm in a recurring loop of some kind?

Forgive me....

Let's go kill something we don't understand.

Since I am now double vaccinated

I went to a big-box store to get my eyes checked

and new glasses.

Glasses I've needed for a year in lockdown.

The noise, to me,  was incredible in the huge store....

I actually saw a guy with a hell of a MULLET....?

I apparently could easily consider,

 never leaving the house again...

But getting my teeth fixed is the next 

pandemic re-hab for me?

A very very short blog this week---

I seemed un-interested in everything?

The entire surrounding world appeared as

nothing but 

Blah-Blah-Woof-Woof...

I did managed to complete two guitar

projects I have had on-going.

I completed the bridge and bridge nut repair

on my Alverez Om copy.

I re-strung it and also installed a very cheap, Chinese 

sound-hole pick-up..

It sounds FUCKING fantastic--?

I am amazed...

I even managed to complete the re-hab on my 

Hofner GT-3 headless...

It was in pretty rough shape having been 

stored away since the 1990's...

Although I actually had a spare set of the

special strings for this guitar stashed in it's

gig bag--amazing?

So I actually did manage to accomplish a

few positive things these past few days...

Parker from Alien has passed away at 81.

His acting ability helped make ALIEN 

a classic...!

This was different---

a bit like the film Spectral but nowhere near

a good--

interesting tho...?

I liked the Gumps..?

I'm sorry, clearly you're not a psychopath.

I received my second vaccination

  Friday.....

I immediately moved from worrying about when/if

I would get vaccinated...

To what will the world be like after we are all,

(the intelligent ones that is)

  vaccinated....?

I can only hope, that somehow out of all of 

this tragedy..

We all could make it worth something...

by being better humans afterward.

How does it feel if you are a Republican to know,

that the Senators you voted for would easily, easily allow you to,

go broke, starve, become homeless, and die?

senate-passes-1-9-trillion-covid-relief-bill with no Republican support

Your life, your children's lives mean nothing to them,

and so they offer zero help

during the worst pandemic of the century ?

How can you live with having voted for them?

How can you live with voting for them again?

How can you?

I received my "smart" watch...

mentioned in last week's blog...

I actually like it....

Which for me, is very strange...

I tend to resist new things....

I have to live with it for a bit longer to be absolutely sure--

that I really like it---?

It took me a bit to work through the instructions 

on linking to my phone...

the directions were in Chinglish---

This watch

 monitors heart beats per minute, steps,

how well you sleep, your temperature

and will display your daily stats on your phone app.

This watch also advises when you get a text, email

or will advise when you have a phone call.

It was amazingly cheap...

The inventor of the cassette tape is dead...

He was 94..and he changed my world---

lou-ottens-inventor-of-the-cassette-tape-has-died

I STILL record on cassette....

It is STILL my favorite format.

I still use Walkman's and Boomboxes.

I still use Lou Ottens invention 50 years later.

Thank you Lou...!

I pre-ordered this immediately from Amazon

before I even noticed that it was Kindle only--?

Neil Stephenson is one of my favorite authors.

I have a Kindle but it's not my preference...

I am a book person---?

But as long as I can get to read it...?

Story of a street busker and a child with

Autism..

Read this to feel better...

I have because of the pandemic managed to

enlarge my set lists--up to 60 songs now

for gigs.

I've re-hab-bed several guitars, and am 

in the process of building a battery powered amp and effects

system to busk...?

I have tried my best to make the lockdown,

musically valuable to me....?

Who knows tho--?
