Flat-Pick Country Guitar...and other stuff

Spent last night working out my cross picking chops. You can get tab off the net but nothing as clear or as simple as the two examples in Happy Traums book. And a neat-o transcription of "Ragtime Annie" which is a very distinctive fiddle tune worked out for guitar. I have decided it will be the last tune I ever learn. I aint no Segovia. anyway the thing is that country and bluegrass guitar is probably the easiest style to work up into ensemble playing and offers the most bang for the buck. Once you have the "G" run worked out in all keys and acquired the ability to do a solo then then a whole new world of music opens out for young and old.
You can solo or back up on every turnaround.





The Best LIttle Whorehouse in Texas is on soon at the Carterton Town Hall. Whorehouses are not really my bag. They degrade women and take away their power and self esteem. There is no other possible way to rationalise it. I gues some of the fugglies think they might get lucky ans core a root. You know if you hang a round a barbers shop long enough you will get a haircut. hahahahahahahahahaha.
Anyway they need the money.
The library has to be redesigned. The shelves need to turned 90 degrees so that the they are at right angles to the suns trajectory and the computer stations do not have partitions and  cannot be sighted or supervised from the main desk. There were  malicious and false accusation of assault and bullying at the old workstations. If they cannot be observed by the authority then I guess its rafferty's rules.
At least one third of the space has been given over to a walled playpen when there are at least three kindergartens in the town and all the churches have playgroups. And there is no desk to read the newspaper. The Library should stick to its knitting instead of trying to be all things to all people and having an abnormal focus on sexual activity. Oh gosh I am a detractor now. hehehehehehehehehehe.
