Use HTML language.  You'll need an on-line picture service that will give you a web address for the picture.  I use Picasa because it's free.  There are others like Smug-Mug and Flickr and such. 

Then you put img inside square brackets the web address for the picture and then /img inside square brackets. 

[*img*] web address [*/img] without the spaces or the asterisks. 

That's supposed to work.  It's kind of an iffy sort of thing.

Just got back from the August River Jam.  Seems like my work is paying off as one of the guys I used to jamm with back when I was just learning electric bass was there.  He's heard me through all of the painful days and he said I was sounding pretty good.  He taught me a few rhythm lines for him to play lead against and we had a good time like that until the others at the campfire were all bored to tears.

Just back.  Very small turnout, but I had a good time playing with my old friend Garuchi.  Fished some and while I didn't catch many fish, I caught some good sized ones.  No trophies, though I did catch my largest smallmouth on a fly rod (to date).  Picked up a few picking tricks and a couple exercises to hopefully improve my playing. 

The weather was absolutely perfect.  We ought to have had a terrible storm Saturday night.  The temperature dropped quickly, my guitar kept going out of tune quickly (sure sign of a rapid drop in barometric pressure), and the wind kicked up.  My friend Roger (same Roger who shared a margarita with a raccoon at the July River Jam) checked the RADAR images on his smart phone and it looked like it was going to be bad, bad, bad.  But somehow the crazy deep hollows and gorges and the steep bluffs rising out of them directed the foul weather around us.  Where we were, just a few drops of rain during the night and a gorgeous clear blue sky by morning. 

I got a new idea for a song hook.  Not sure how to use it, but in a discussion of what we all appreciated about camping, the concept that it "embraces the opportunity for wierdness" arose.  There's a song in that idea.  It will be added to my hook book and see what comes of it.

They're no Hayseed Dixie, but they are chickens and penguins and an eagle.  I always envied Floyd's musicianship and dedication to the bass.

Cool.

I like your choices in music.  That venue looks like a lot of fun.  Good job with the song.

Good looking couple of Louisianians there.  Now how was the music?

That is a sore disappointment.  I hope you and your family are OK.

Good gracious don't do that!  Some of us (like...me) don't play well enough to be impressive and crazy sounding chord names is our only chance to impress.   :-)

Bump.

This event is next week. 

I'll be arriving on Thursday probably.  The campground is available to us as early as Monday. 

If you are planning to attend and planning to attend early, please drop an e-mail to Diane Law (the owner of the campground) via their web-site.  http://www.riverchaselodge.com/

Thanks.  I hope to see some of you there. 

There are likely to be some spare boats around for those who want to give paddling a try.   I know I'll have at least two spares.

So you're saying if we can't get funky, that we should first get chunky?
