This guy's from my neck of the woods.  He was one of the good guys.  He didn't just do this locally - but traveled around the region.

The little boy was fishing so hard he had an accident, poor wee lad. He didn't want his Momma to take him for a change either.

Well, I banged out a few songs on my twelver before heading to the winery because Mrs. Zurf wasn't quite ready to go.  Now I'm going to go catch some big bass, sip a bit, and see what happens.

Shel Silverstein is Uncle Joe.

LOL.  This got me going.

I get insomnia frequently. It's not fun.

There's a picture requirement for NGD's.  Obligation really.  I think the rule is less clear with U, or P, or B.

Never did care for his originals.  He's a prolific song-writer, but a lot of his songs never made a lick of sense to me.  That'd be OK if the musicianship was strong enough, but by and large they're campfire strummers (even the electric work).  All in all, I'd rather play a Dirty Ed album again than listen to Dylan. 

I do like it when people cover Dylan's better songs.  In a long career of prolific song-writing, he has written a lot of good songs.  But, when mixed in with the other songs that are so-so on an album, I'm just not that into it.  I never really did see the appeal of Dylan when there are so many local singer-songwriters out there performing in bars and producing what I consider to be much better music. 

I did enjoy Ramblin' Jack Elliott's quote when asked how he managed to sound so much like Dylan; "I've been sounding like Dylan for 20 years, and he's only been playing for five.  You figure it out."

Stick with it Strummerboy and do your best.  You're one of us, and that's what matters. 

Every single day, I wake up thinking "Thank God it's Friday."  1/7th of the time it works out.

In my car doors, in a box in my office, spread on my desk, and stuffed in a bookcase.  They are in this order:

The ones in the box in my office are ones that I've ripped to my computer.
The ones on my desk are ones that I haven't ripped to my computer if they are to the right of the monitor, or ones that I have ripped to my computer if they are to the left of my monitor and I just haven't put them in the cardboard box yet.  The ones in my truck are ones I just bought and haven't got tired of yet, and the ones in the bookcase are ones that I ripped to my computer and sometime or other got up the gumption to move them out of the cardboard box on the floor. 

It's an efficient and effective organizational system. 

I have offered $40 to my kids to put them in binders in alphabetical order, but they have declined.

I've got one.  I keep it tuned, but I don't play it.  Only so much time in the day to learn instruments.
