Why wear a boring Gordon Lightfoot shirt-jacket when you could wear a David Crosby jacket? I knew a couple of guys with jackets like that back in the late 60s. They used to make a big production about swinging around so the those damned fringe things would go whirling. I also saw CSN in Chicago and Crosby was wearing something like that on stage. I found those jackets amusing. All fun and games until someone loses an eye. I was always a proletarian hippy. Jeans and jean jackets.

Looking at that photo of Crosby makes me think how proud he was/is of himself.

Success! My friend and I have a gig at The Mason Jar, a local restaurant, on the 27th. This could turn into a monthly gig, which suits my schedule perfectly.

My immediate goal is to get Millring over here next week for a pick-a-thon. I have offered to buy breakfast as an incentive. I will even make a pitcher of Kool-Aid. Lime. Maybe orange. No blueberry. One must draw the line somewhere.

One must draw the line somewhere. Electric Kool Aid and fringes? Now we're talking! Let the sunshine, let the sunshine, the su-un shine in. Everyone ....

Those are the kind of boots you either look fabulous wearing, or a complete dork. Got to have a pretty shapely pair of legs to pull those off.

I thought I saw Bigfoot tearing the door off the Mercantile one night. Turned out to be somebody else. A very nice guy and actually very un-Bigfoot like in many ways. I still think the Iowa Bigfoot is out there prowling the night, though. Sure. When I created a new job costing system at my last job did anyone call me Lar the job cost guru? No! When I created a budgeting tool that actually worked at the job before that did anyone call me Lar the budget builder? No! When I did a complete analysis of our parts department a few months ago and showed the owner of the company I work for that he was losing money hand over fist did anyone call me Lar the analyst? No! But tear the door off the Farmers Mercantile just once . . .

You have no idea how difficult it is to keep all of that body hair under control. I'm thinking of buying vat of Brylcreem.

I’m working on a goal. Right now it sounds something like getting invited back to each assisted living facility in Merrimack County to entertain. Getting the first gig no biggy. Getting invited back is the real deal. I’ve avoided this kind of gig for a long time, now I’m very into it. The people at these places have experienced the great folk scare. I even had a request for a Woody Guthrie tune last week. These audiences are very attentive. And they actually pay a bit. This is one approach to a goal, but it is rather shallow. A better one would be learning more thumbstyle tunes and enjoying the learning process more. I love the finished product, but getting there at times turns into just a task. So I’m cogitating, but not yet deciding. I’ll get there.
