Guess what happened on this day in 1982?

Gigged with Ganonymous last night at "The Barnyard Theatre", Charlie's barn at his house between Davis and Winters. We were the opening act for a great fingerstyle guitarist named Jim Earp. There was a crowd of people who actually paid money to get in (okay, none of it went to Ganonymous). We played for about 25 minutes, doing five sets ( Read more... )

It was a day at the beach today for me, Kim, and Scout. We jumped in the CR-V and drove the 104 miles to Dillon Beach. We all had a nice day out, enjoyed the sun and cool sea breeze. Lots of other dogs out there, as this is a dog-friendly leashless beach. Ate some sandwiches, walked a lot, breathed. Took a different route home by going up highways ( Read more... )

Can anyone tell me how to change my profile photo into one of those short movie types, like Nick's or the one Karla had (has?)? I've got a four-pic sequence I'd like to use...

I won't make excuses, this is bound to be a boring post. That's the life of the 49-year-old working stiff. Still, for reasons indecipherable to me I feel compelled to record this ( Read more... )

As we feared, Maggie's swollen leg was indeed something much more sinister than osteo-arthritis. Kim got her to the vet this afternoon, they took an x-ray, and found she had a broken leg. Whether it was due to arthritis or bone cancer, it really doesn't matter. There was no healing this kind of break. Her general condition was poor, and she was ( Read more... )

Not to put a damper on all of the good vibes recently flowing over these pages recently, but we may be about to lose an old friend. Maggie is really starting to lose her will to live. We thought it was arthritis at first, but now I'm convinced she has some sort of bone cancer. She's a bag of skin and bones, and we're having a hard time finding ( Read more... )

I got to work on Monday morning, started the coffee pot, and as I checked my email, one of my staff popped his head into my office and said, "Did you hear about Roger ( Read more... )

Had my hearing tested last week, first time since...high school? Damn, that's over 30 years ago. Not unexpectedly, the high frequencies have rolled off considerably. It also explains why I can't hear half the things my SO says to me. I noticed lately that I "hear" what people are saying better when I can see the person's lips moving. Hope the ( Read more... )

As time has allowed, I've been working on the mastering mixes of thelittlestillnotbigenough songs. This is a great set of music, clearly different from but rooted in the same soil as Facta Non Verba's material. Same progenitors, different progeny. Nice acoustic feel, but it goes beyond that level. As is usually the case with these projects, a ( Read more... )
