It's The Office with puppets. I like both, so it may be fun to watch.

The talent that interests me is here, or in bars, or around campfires. Extending notes forever or turning one syllable into ten while doing vocal scales practice interests me not at all.

Wonderful.  It's a beauty.  Knowing what you can do with a twelver, I'm glad you're sprinkling them about the continents awaiting your visits.

Dang it Roger!  We've talked to you about this.  Now you've gone and encouraged another person.

He could build a house out of guitars!

Sweet. 

Keep practicing on how to duck. 

I saw a t-shirt and almost bought it.  It said, "My only fear is that my wife will sell my guitars for what I told her they cost."

Nice job! Musical mutancy runs in the family, I guess.

I've also got a trumpet, slide trombone, and valve trombone in the basement. The trumpet is out in hot rotation now because my youngest likes playing it. She doesn't know how, but she's doing a great job learning on her own. I'm hesitant to introduce any disciplined, organized instruction as it would likely take away from the fun.

Both videos were cool Graham. The firedancers took me by surprise. A little bit of Polynesia in Crete.

Hey TwangTown welcome back.

Well Roger told me he has chuffed one day. Here, I thought it had been a lovely day and was wondering what had upset him. Uh...apparantly being chuffed is a good thing. It sounded downright unpleasant to me.

The Do Not Call list allows surveys and political calls.  So we wind up getting "surveys" with questions like "Would you rather your house rot and fall down around you, or get new gutters installed?" 

We don't do surveys any longer.  At all.  If someone is aggressive, I tell them that giving my opinion requires a consultation and my consulting fee is $300/hour.  Then I ask them what number I can fax an engagement letter to for agreement to my fee.  So far no one has taken me up on the offer, which is good because I haven't got a 1099 to let them pay me or an engagement letter to send.

My first public performances were playing classical upright bass.  I love classical - especially with lots of bass like Rossini, Beethoven, and Holst.  Thanks for the tunes!!

It's better than hearing, "Well that was....different."

That's why I think of you as a crazy uncle instead of the usual run-of-the-mill crazy friend.

We're entering a new realm and I made an assumption. May your daughter and her betrothed know nothing but joy and plenty.
