any old time...







Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs.

reading Omar Bradleys autobio over xmas.
great stuff.
forget the crap books on leadership from management gurus.
this one is the real deal..
yes sirrreeee.
pulled out all the bluegrass albums from the box under the bed and giving them a spin.
very refreshing.
Went to town today and found a couple of recent Mojo Magazines in the Salvation Army Store.
Full of stuff that I I will never listen too and dont even think I would bother with.
Nothing the Sexpitols ever did was ever as good as flatt and scruggs or bill monroe.
tee heee.
This issue of Mojo (march 2010) is hard to distinguish from the mad issue of Mojo or the mojo issue of mad!
they are all here.
don Van vliet (captain beefheart)
syd barret
sly stone
and a holy host of others...
including charlotte gainsbourg
didnt know she could sing and the French never didi know what rock and roll was all about.
soweeeee but twoo.
Colleen Trenwith said that she learned every fiddle lick she ever needed in the Hamilton County Bluegraass Band off  Flatt and Scruggs' first LP.
so there ya go.
and A guitar mag with a tab version of Creams 'Sitting On Top Of The World'.
think I'll skip it and just do my own version.
last time I looked in the mirror I didnt look like Eric Clapton!
anyway if today was christmas day and today was christmas eve,
oh what a great time we would have.
oh yeah.
tonight is New Years Eve.
It seems the whole country is in holiday mode and after this year I think the country needs it.
yes..
