"Lots of admirable high-profile people in the arts -- composers, painters, authors, classical musicians, playwrights." Oh, I agree. But how many of those are widely enough known to be in the running? (Reminds me of a line by my old friend Emily Kaitz: I'm gonna change my name to Emily Refrigerator so that I can be a household word.) Also reminds me of the thought I had. If I start a wine company, I’m going to called “House” wines.

With a no pedal option to boot.

If you receive it. Me too, please. It reminds me of 'The Colorado Trail.' A lot.It's on a Dowling recording somewhere. Wrong. I'm thinking of the song Navajo Trail. The version was by the Hot Club of Cowtown, not Dowling. Trying to find it. I ran into an origional version. Roy Rogers. There's several on YouTube. I like this one. youtu.be/2NyJdCO4oXkIt’s not surprising that this cowboy music is common in videos since a lot of it was apparently written for the movies.

I contacted Suze Spencer Marshall about the chord chart for this song and she said she’d dig it out for me. Anybody else interested in seeing the chord progression?

I don’t know chemistry, but what does the limestone, hydrogen, and air reaction do?

Starts at 1:36. Many of us already know it I am guessing. I’ve been playing that song about as long as I”ve been playing guitar.

Lonesome Cowboy BluesI’m curious to know what you all think of this tune. I’m totally blown away by it myself. It comes from an album done by Suze Spencer Marshall called “Tall Boots”. Mike Dowling plays on most tunes but is the lead singer and guitar player on this one. The tunes on this album remind me of something you might hear on an old Roy Rogers TV show. Most were apparently written for movies but were never released according to Tall Boots details on Suze’s website. I like it a lot, have always enjoyed the honesty and pleasant nature of his vocals, and this one has that cool cowboy harmony. For some reason it reminded me of this sweet and funny tune: Yes, this one is a favorite of mine too. Pat writes great songs.

Paul Kucharski was involved with G4V. It's a group started in Wisconsin, I think. They show up at local Guitar shows. I always give them some $$. I've got a hat and a couple of tee shirts. Seems like a great program. Shouldn't it be Guitars for Heroes?? Yes, I taught guitar to the vets for them for a few years. I was also the secretary for the organization back when it was only the Milw chapter. Grown a LOT since then.

My view of this is that we were designed by an advanced species on a planet we are not yet aware of. Probably galaxies away from here. How we got to earth is the first question to ask if we ever find them or they decide to disclose themselves to us.
Genetic engineering is just now reaching its infancy on earth, but it isn’t a far stretch to think that another planet (maybe in existence for centuries longer than ours) had figured it out long ago and spent eons genetically combining gene segments just to see what happens. When they get something cool, they just let it reproduce on its own. Maybe send a spaceship with an ark full of experiments and send it down on a planet with the proper conditions for sustaining life. This is definitely a more plausible explanation that remains consistent with science.
By our standards of knowledge, some might call them Gods.
As for consciousness, I see it as nothing more than a baseline function of the brain. Like a computer operating system that has a background task that continously scans all inputs and presents the input data for processing by he brain. It is basically not a “thing” by itself. It exists only so long as the brain/body can keep the operating system running. Just MHO.

Laying low today after going to a Brewers spring training game yesterday. The first time I’ve watched a baseball gane live since childhood. The game hasn’t changed, it’s still a relatively boring spectator game.

We were just in Bisbee not too long ago sight seeing. We heard complaints from the many artists there who say that the city is changing the rules for renting houses to promote vacation rentals. Long time residents who rent are having to leave because it has created a housing shortage for people who want to live and work there as opposed to weekly vacations.

I don’t see the connection. How does raising the cost to import steel increase the ‘export’ of iron ore. If the tariffs reduce imported steel, there should be less demand for the ore that goes into it by those external producers. In fact, it should increase domestic consumption of iron ore. I don’t see any causation.

I used to have three of the 4 Cowboy guitars that Gretch made and these were basically plywood. They sounded surprisingly good. Then I recently bought a $50 Recording King to have around for the grandkids. What a dog guitar that thing is. Some are better than they should be, and some are just as bad as their price would suggest.

Virtually all phishing emails get caught up in my yahoo spam filters. I can’t even recall the last time I got one in my inbox. A good email filter is the best defense.
