I'd like to be buried at sea. Let the crabs have something to eat instead of burning me in a fire or enclosing me in a box. I figure I'll have no more use for this body, it may as well be food for something. And while we are on the subject. This is my favorite Rachmaninoff piece of music. It's in 5/4 time but the odd time signature isn't obvious. It's dark and moody and I like dark and moody Isle of the Dead - Sergei Rachmaninoff / Mikhail Pletnev / Russian National Orchestra

It Keeps You Runnin' - Doobie Brothers

Time Is On My Side - Kai WInding (original) and Irma Thomas (first vocal)

Harold's House Of Jazz - Richie Cole (alto sax) Eddie Jefferson (vocals)

They're not skinny, they're long (at least it's what I tell the girls).

Abbey Road Medley - The Beatles In my personal opinion it's the best piece of work they did. I don't know what the "restored" version is all about, I'm about to find out.

Agreed. I find it a turn-off myself. But then they aren't doing it to attract my attention. When I was a kid I wanted a tattoo. My mother refused to let me. It's one of the things she didn't let me do that I appreciate the most. I read that a doc that does autopsies said that he can always tell the people who have tats, their lymph nodes are black from trying to get the toxic ink out of their system. I wonder if that impairs the immune system that the lymph system is a major part of. Notes

Soul Finger - The Bar-Kays

Honky Tonk - Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown

"No Pain For Cakes" - The Lounge Lizards

My ex-wife decided to get fit and walk 5 miles a day. I haven't seen her since. Last I heard she was in Oregon.

And a song that still gets a rise out of the audience we have target. I like playing it because I left room in our sequence for a distorted, compressed guitar solo. As a sax player, getting to do things on the guitar that I can't do on the sax is just good, clean, fun. Play That Funky Music White Boy - Wild Cherry

Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Romeo & Juliet Overture - Valery Gergiev & the London Symphony Orchestra IMO, one of the most emotional and beautiful pieces of music ever written. I've not heard this version yet (listening to it now) by Mr. Gergiev is a great conductor and the LSO is a great orchestra. So far- so good!

I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down.

Gate Swings Again - Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown Besides for being a monster guitar player, he has a great band

Suffragette City - Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars (David Bowie)

Don't spell part backwards. It's a trap.

Cause We've Ended As Lovers - Jeff Beck IMO Jeff is the most technically accomplished rock guitarist to date.

Devil Or Angel - TheClovers (the original recording of this song)

Time After Time - Eva Cassidy (she was just way too good)

Good thing they aren't electricians, 'cause they would fix their shorts. groooooooaaaaaaaan

Fields Of Gold - Eva Cassidy
