Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson - The Outlaw Movement in Country Music F...

shoot a few holes and blow their minds...

went to the country club today.
the joint was jumping.
I got a slot.
mamas dont let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
ed bruce special for waylon and willie.
then sat at the back of the hall trying to figure out the key and play along on the Ibanez.
sometimes my chords didnt seem to fit right no matter what I did but I stopped then.
rest of the time it is great to brush up on technique.
rapid strumming, lead and turnarounds and try and copy the arpeggios on the accordion.
fun for the kiddies.
had to split for the ride home so never got to sing Billy Joe Shavers Black Rose at full tilt and





put on a show.
ya get that.
seeya

tomorrow I start on technique of child psychoanalysis; conversations with Anna Freud.
See if it is any good.
compare and contrast it to other offerings.
 

the altar song...

seeya Marty.
out there on the perimeter where there are no stars.

Leroy Carr - Papa Wants to Knock a Jug

saturday night funnies...












no more posts at the moment...

1. the new york crowd still after mark zuckerberg.
    they really want to carve the bird.
    what they dont seem to understand is that he made it and to all and intents and purposes it is his.
2. and I suppose I could complain to someone but nobody will listen.
    my page or timeline or whatever it is called has become infested with nationals party MP's who never have a comments button on their pages.pretty cheezy really.

okay I suppose I could go to my 'groups"  or say what is on my mind or have all the trolls gone to bed and am I










the only person really alive in the whole universe and the rest just brains in a vat

some junkie stole my red guitar God works in wondrous ways...

bought a cheap Squier the other day.
For the PINK paint job.
It is cheapo but it plays okay and has good electronics and pickups.
One fault.
After a while one begins to feel like throwing up for no good reason!
very odd.
it has to be the colour scheme.
if it is I  am going to repaint it  myself!
that will be fun.
taking it all to bits.

Just becoming reconnecting with Bertrand Russell.
probably the greatest philosopher of the 20th century.
sitting on my front porch with the pink strat beside me and the oxford companion to philosophy and looking for precision in thought and melody.
waiting for my interloan to go ahead and go to the source

Black Snake Creek Band, Aratoi...

two weeks ago the old geezers put on a show. in the old presbyterain church at Aratoi.
the night was opened  by Dr Roberts Grafia and then the main course.
In a covers band its all about the choices and they pulled some humdingers out of the bag.
the playing was not of the highest order but in very good time from the bass and plenty of variations from the guitar.
When they got into top gear some of the crowd got up and boogied with some fervour indeed.
OnebeautifulIndian maid did this dance I never seen before. Cross between classic Indian Folk Dancing and line dancing. There were several other ladies rocking  on and I suspect they may have been the bands wives but they were having a jolly good time.

Pink Floyd, Carterton Events Centre...

A good time was had by all at the Carterton events centre last Saturday night as Mastertons Pink Floyd Tribute Band led by Toby Mills performed a concert set from the albums complete with light show.
Not quite ready to tour but getting there.

now for something completely different...
