Can't tell you.  We've been trying to get together and go fishing for a couple years but something keeps getting in the way for one or the other of us.  This'll be the first time we meet if he makes it.

It's fairly easy to play like Bob Dylan.  He doesn't use many single notes, and he plays straight harp usually.  I'll bet with a Klutz Press book like David Harp's "Harmonica for the Musically Helpless" or a Mel Bay "You Can Teach Yourself Harmonica" or some such and a couple weeks of practice that you could imitate that style.  Neil Young frequently uses this kind of playing, though sometimes he also gets rather intricate.  Another musician who uses this method is Tom Petty.  All of them sound good to me. 

Harmonica gets difficult when you start having to bend notes and play single notes.

I was initially going to suggest that the dude you saved was a jerk, and that's what was causing you problems.  However, now that I see it's a kid that can't be it.  My guess is that it's at least partly physical.  You had an adrenaline surge and had to come down off that rush. 

I don't know squat about misplaced guilt or other anxieties.  I suppose it could be true.  Meditate on it awhile in a quiet place and you'll probably figure that out for yourself.  Nobody should know you better than you.

A favorite today, because I'm in a silly mood...

From Jim Croce's Roller Derby Queen, 
"She was built like a 'frigerator with a head"

And another because I have to sing it so often.  From the lullaby I sing each night to my girls, which is John McCutcheon's Featherbed:
"If I was a hair ribbon, and my color it was blue, I'd be ten times as beautiful 'cause I'd be wearing you."

It's probably not a one time occurance. 

I get them.  You're fortunate that Excedrine Migraine helped you.  It works because both aspirin and caffeine, which are both in Excedrin, are vasoregulators.  Migraines have a vascular cause.  If the begin recurring, see a neurologist if you can.  It helps if you maintain a 'headache' log noting when you had it, what you had eaten recently (many foods are migraine triggers) and other environmental issues such as allergens, strong light, distracting sounds and images, pending high or low pressure zones, emotional or physical stress issues, etc.

I can tell you by the way my head feels when there's a strong low pressure front a day or two away.  Bizarre but true.

Yeah, I forgot that requirement.  Breathing would be strongly preferred.

Praise God and thank him for Bayer.

I'm so glad that the damage seems to be slight and that you're still here for us to chat with on-line.  Now seeing this, I'm all that more disappointed that we didn't get the chance to meet up in San Diego. 

One more thing: Remember 9-1-1.  Call them THEN call your wife.

Still working on these.  I will use a loose interpretation of "learned". 

Duncan - Paul Simon
Tequila Sunrise - Eagles
Grandmother's Feather Bed - John Denver
It's a Great Day to Be Alive - Travis Tritt
Wild Rose of the Mountain - Si Khan (converted to guitar from being a fiddle song, using an entirely different musicality, but the same melody for voice)

Is musicality a word?

Make up your mind.

D and G because there is no "Evil B" chord in D or G.
