Why are bagpipe players always marching? To get away from the noise.

Handkerchief? What's that? Nobody I know uses those anymore, instead they throw away dead tree membranes. That's snot nice.

"Let's Go Get Stoned" - Ray Charles

Shady characters if you ask me

One silly Christmas song deserves another: Spike Jones But a better Spike Jones song is:

Not to forget some good guitar. This show convinced me that Jeff Beck is the most technically accomplished rock guitarist alive. The camera operators and editors must be guitarists, because whenever Jeff does something super-human, they zero in on the hands. And Tal Wilkenfeld is too cute and young looking to be the monster bass player that she is. Live At Ronnie Scott's - Jeff Beck

Back On The Chain Gang - The Pretenders

When you're normal, you tend to have normal friends, and that's twice as boring.

Huh!

"Tube Snake Boogie" - ZZ Top

One of my very favorite Stan Getz albums. And that leads to another favorite sax player, Stanley Turrentine. Salt Song - Stanley Turrentine

Pictures At An Exhibition - Modest Mussorgsky (Orch. Ravel) I played this in school and also in all-state band where I got a solo part over the alto player (that's a big deal for tenor saxophonists) - a little bit of bragging so many years later it's still sweet.

Wherever I travel, music HAS to be included. We've even planned International vacations so that we could be there when a specific concert is happening. But we're weird by normal standards -- but then -- normal is soooooooooo overrated. Notes

And for all those people who came out dressed as tables and chairs!

Rimshot please!!! We were going to play "The Stripper" by David Rose but by the time we got there it was already too late.

Pictures Of Matchstick Men - Status Quo

Have a great time!!! There are a lot of good Filipino musicians. I worked on cruise ships for 3 years, and the half dozen Filipino bands I worked the ships with played American/English and Spanish music better than any other Asian band I've ever heard. Notes

October is also "American Cheese Month" and calling that stuff cheese is sarcastic in itself. And Dyslexia Awareness Monht

Yes she does. We don't play any stripped down arrangements of our songs either. And I keep the G string on our guitars The first time we played there it was a Haloween party. Leilani died my skivvies and t-shirt flesh color, and she wore a unitard also flesh colored. Then we cut out black rectangles and covered our 'private parts' with them and went as censored nudes. I can't post pictures because no cameras are allowed in there by the 'outsiders'. A gig is a gig, they are a lot of fun, and they pay well and have a lot of fun.

Actually having a wife who plays guitar is good. She says, "You really need that new guitar you've been looking at" because she wants to play it too!!! The sister with the clarinet, sympathies are appreciated for that one.

After "Chess Paul" I thought you were going to say "Chest Paula"

Music related? My wife plays guitar and synth, my little sister used to play clarinet. So I have music relatives.

Perhaps when I was 18. I've gotten to the age where I look better with clothes on. Cue: "I Don't Look Good Naked Anymore" by the Snake Oil Willie Band. We learned that song for the nudist camp. I checked first and the manager said they had a good sense of humor.

People asked me "What do you want people to say about you at your funeral" I responded, "Look! He's sitting up!" And they asked me how I wanted to die so I said, "I'd like to die like my grandfather, peacefully in my sleep -- not screaming like the passengers in his car."
