bumbumbumbumbumbumbumbum

-we just sat together & played music on various instruments for quite some time. it started when i dusted off my old kay guitar to attach to it this gadget that arrived in the mail. i thought it would allow me to press a button & play full guitar chords, but it doesn´t. all it is is a panel with buttons that affixes to the guitar neck & instead of using your fingers to make the chords, you push the buttons. so it really does not do much. oh well!... but the guitar was out, so i was in a strumming/picking mood & unbagged my bass, which hasn´t been out to breathe in years. james played his resonator & i the bass & he sang & i backed up on vocals, then we switched to harmonica (him) and me (keyboard piano). and now we are done but it was sure fun, clams & all. can´t wait til he finishes the basement studio so we can have the drums & bass always hooked up & we can play down there any time we want without having to break everything down at the end like we do now. (he´d be happy to leave it all out, but i like the house to be tidy. we run a fine line here between funky eccentric palace of curiosities & hoarder dump.) yes, to have a house studio will be wunderbar. before that, i likely will have my homemade sauna ready, least i hope it will be. what fun it is to work on all of these projects. what fun life is at this moment. even with horrible news in the world. we can make a difference in the lives of those around us, just being who we are. my difference can always be positive now with my head full of 12 steps & body nearing 27 yrs clean & sober. james´s difference can be positive, making people love & laugh & thrill to be near him or negative, making them wish they´d never been born when he pounds the living crap out of them. but he only does that to those who cross him bad, or those who hurt the innocent. in that sense, i am married to batman. mixed with mel blanc. mixed with mike tyson. mixed with the coolest rocknroll american music singer-player i know. james.... - lately i´ve been exercising too much, resulting in less blubber but terrible headaches, so iḿ gonna go rest for a bit... ¨-when i see the many, i cannot act. when i see the one, i can.¨ - paraphrasing mother teresa, this quote applies to us all. may we act for the greater good by doing good to those we meet on the road of life. badumpdump.
