  1. I couldn't afford the piano, much less the apartment! I live in a very small house (900 sq ft) on a half acre lot. We don't practice with the PA on often, but when we do, it's usually between 3 and 5 PM. I have an understanding with our neighbors, that whenever we play, if it at an inconvenient time, let us know. They tell us we should practice more often (nice neighbors). But most of the time we practice on the gig. After all, if you can't practice on stage, where CAN you practice?
  2. Perhaps if I played even louder they'd beat it (or beat me)
  3. "I (Who Have Nothing)" - Ben E King -- An English language cover of the Italian song "Uno Dei Tanti" IMHO improved by Tom Jones
  4. I've got a similar problem. My neighbors bang on the wall when I practice the guitar, but they have the worst sense of rhythm. They never bang in time. I figure if I play louder, perhaps I can teach them how to keep the beat better.
  5. Gotta follow that one with: Mr. Roboto - Styx
  6. A teen idol is often a... "Superstar" - Delaney & Bonnie And Friends (written by Bonnie Bramlett & Leon Russell)
  7. I think it's just "Goin' Down Slow" 🤔 😎
  8. Baba O'Riley - The Who A song mostly known as "Teenage Wasteland"
  9. Memphis - Lonnie Mack (one of Rock's first guitar heroes, who owns serial number 5, the first commercial Gibson Flying V guitar)
  10. That was too funny Steve. I'm jealous, I wish I had though of that 😀😀😀
  11. Going Up the Country - Canned Heat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0PjECSyJ7w
  12. Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead - Warren Zevon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfSQOgu0ZJg
  13. There were too many donations from our 3 county area for a boat lift so my tent, food and paper plus the contributions of hundreds of others are now on an ocean-going barge pulled by a tug to the Bahamas. It should get there by tomorrow. It's a good start, but our good neighbors to the east will need help for a long time to come. Notes
  14. Isle Of The Dead -Sergei Rachmaninoff It's in 5/4 time, it's dark, it's brooding, and it's heavy. Give it a listen - this is not your grandfather's orchestral music
  15. They started collecting for a Boat-Lift today. The paper listed a number of collection points, I chose the closest and was happy to see a half dozen people there making donations. I had an 8'x10' cabin tent I haven't used in a few years and figured someone without a house needs it more than I do so I donated it, along with an ice-chest cooler. I went out and bought a case of Vienna Sausages, huge pack of 30 rolls of toilet paper, and a case of D cell batteries and added that to the donation. They should be on their way to the Bahamas by tomorrow morning as long as the seas aren't too rough. Local boat owners are donating their time and fuel to cart these supplies over and give them to the people who need them. By many of us doing a little each, it will mean a lot. Notes
  16. "Her" - Stan Getz (my all time favorite tenor sax player)
