Wow. Outstanding. 100 years. Can you even imagine?     

Nice.     

I saw him live once. It was at an outdoor venue. Unlike other artists who have a warm-up act, CDB hit it hard right out of the gate. They played all the songs someone would want to hear them play. None of this, "Oh, that's so old, I don't like to do that any more." Nope. People wanted to hear it, and they played it. Then they planned a longer intermission than usual, but that's when they had another musician come and entertain. Because it was a stage that's set up and taken down for each show, everything didn't always fit too perfectly, and so the curtains closed but you could still see a little back stage.  While that other musician put on a very good performance of roots rock and Americana music (I don't recall who it was), we could see as stage hands brought out a kitchen table, set it with a table cloth and proper dishes, and put out a chicken dinner for Mr. Daniels who sat down and enjoyed it. While he ate, he used excellent table manners, even though so far as he knew he was eating alone. When he was done, the table was whisked away, Mr. Daniels washed up, and soon was ready to play the second half of his excellent show.     

Not offensive, but disappointing.

The evils of false doctrines, like prosperity gospel, are far worse in this day and age than any sort of Christian army.  Not even the Vatican has an army. So what is the song talking about? Were there some in the past? Sure. Then there was the Reformation and the printing press and literacy, and people learned that the Bible doesn't teach anything like the abusers of the Word had been teaching and all of that came to a halt centuries ago. Literally ages ago: from the Dark Ages, through Reformation, through the Renaissance, through the Industrial age, and now into the Information age.     

Nice!     

Well. It'll make a right nice, though crazy expensive, Christmas tree ornament.     

You are a musician. Just imagine if you weren't!     

I asked a couple different doctors for medical assistance as I slipped further and further into depression and anxiety. Both said to lose weight and sleep more. Clearly, neither of those docs knew whether the chicken or the egg came first.

I searched for an herbal over the counter substance, and found a compound that works for me. Then I considered meditation and asked a friend who meditates (for anxiety) about it. He knows I am a Christian, so he recommended that I pray an ancient prayer and meditate upon its meaning. The prayer is "Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner." I immediately began to feel relief.

It took about a year, but I'm drinking MUCH less alcohol, I'm not gaining weight and may be losing some, I am beginning to have interest in my hobbies and physical work again, and I'm MUCH less moody. So I guess it's working.     

I'm glad that you are seeing improvement in your outlook too, Easybeat. Given my experience, I'd say that everything you said as a method to help is right.

Hi Mike. I was going to ask the same thing as Beamer. Are you Mekidsmomsdad? We may have met in Amy's back yard.     

You've done the right thing taking care of your Momma, Uncle Joe. Like others, condolences on the loss of your father.

Looks like my boss is going to be the one who goes in and works with the on-site crews in order to show them management isn't asking them to do what we aren't willing. I offered to assist, but he has asked me to stay home. This is going to be interesting.     

As TIGJLK's post. We should try to do some live shares to jam where feasible. I'm going to have to figure out how to get the camera on my new laptop to work. It's off as a safety precaution, apparently, and I haven't figured out how to make it work so that I can use the good speakers and good mic.
