I keep my orthopedic surgeon in fine cars. I've had two surgeries on my left knee, one on my right knee, left ankle surgery, right rotator cuff surgery and I've torn my left rotator cuff twice but treated it with physical therapy. It's acting up again and has me nervous.
I was keeping my rheumatologist in business up until 2012. The more I ran, the less I needed her and the meds. In 2012 I canceled my next appointment, flushed the meds, and have never been back.
I also take supplements, including multi, calcium, glucosamine/condroiten, Iron, and fish oil. Staying active has made all the difference in the world for me.
youtu.be/AtEFXm7eobg I keep telling myself to quit learning new tunes cuz I'll forget the others. But I can't resist latching on to another when I hear it and get fired up. There are a bunch I played 35 years ago that I still need to revive. So many tunes....so little time. Like this one - I was in a little band in the late '70's that played a couple of gigs on Salt Spring Island, one of the west coast Gulf Islands.
Oh Man!! John Reischman!! I haven't thought about him in years! I first heard of him when he was in the Good Old Persons, and then years later on I heard about The Jaybirds and got to hear them too.. Great musicians and singers. The first tune I heard him on (with the GOP) was The Itzbin Reel. Thanks for reminding me about him!
I played and sang the Beverly Hillbillies theme with a bunch of others from our local Bluegrass Assoc. at a Seniors Centre yesterday,, made up some goofy lyrics to spin it
Flake's Helpful Hints #197........If you by chance leave your soldering iron on your patio, or anywhere else for that matter, and it rains on it, you should remember these two things before using it again : Don't grab it until the sizzling noise inside the handle stops; Just because the sizzling stops is NOT an "all clear".
Mike, it sounds as though you're speaking from experience.
I'm not a big fan of electricity. Every time I've grabbed a mic while holding onto an electric guitar it's been like some kind of crap shoot to discover whether the people who wired the building knew what a ground was. I watched a 240 pound, six foot three guy get blown across a parking lot while working on his car battery (wedding ring). So the fact that I can be so sloppy with the juice sometimes doesn't say much for my learning curve.
An electrified instrument will never soil my hands......
That's the way I used to think....but no matter how hard you try, you'll never get a kazoo to carry to the back of a fifty thousand seat arena full of teenaged girls. Just kiddin'.....we never played more than 35000.
Don't spread the news, but I secretly like a lot of early rock guitar solos, as well as old blues and jazz guys- Charlie Christian, T-Bone Walker, etc. The "25 or 6 to 4" Chicago solo still sends me, also some of Randy Bachman's guitar work with Guess Who and BTO.
I like them all. No one mentioned other greats like Roy Buchanan, Guitar Shorty, Johnny Lang, Rory Block, Bonnie Raite...too many to list them all. It's hard to pick one out, but Stevie Ray Vaughan has to be near the top of any list of guitar greats.
