I just got done writing a nice long blog entry, only to have Blogspot recent it because of an "edit conflict". It wasn't off-color, or anything - this is a nice, family-friendly blog. No profanity, nudity, or other dirty stuff. Mostly about music, family, my personal observations, musings, political rants, and the occassional sci-fi entry. Oh well. Now I don't have the energy to write anything. But at least I got my mandatory occassional blog entry in.

Life goes on, of course (or maybe not of course). Nothing is certain, in life, except death. (That's cheerful). Try to have as good a time as you can have, each day, and don't let anyone tell you how to live. If you can still appreciate the Stones, after 40 years, you can't be too dead in the head yet. I'm a die-hard. Also, a little slow on the up-take. I re-discovered Neil Young recently, after ignoring him for 30 years. Oh well.

I was always a big Stones fan. Back in "the day", in college, I had an old record player; vinyl covered, two-tone paper case, with stack-it-up record changer, hinged lid. It was old even at that time, mid 60's. I got The Rolling Stones Now, in brilliant Mono. Figured I didn't need stereo, for rock and roll. It was their second album in the states, and all Chuck Berry, and memphis soul covers. I played that til it wore out, and drove my roomate nuts.

I'm not sure what the theme of this pathetic post might be. That looks sorta like me, playing my old upright pianer, in the olden days. The pianer is long gone, gotten rid of in one of my wife's clean-out the junk campaigns. Yes, it had a musty odor, the finish was mottled and cracked (like mine), but It had a great, deep tone, and I could play my boogie woogie on it til the cows came home (or the Flamingos). The Jimi Hendrix cover I just thought was cool. Axis was a great influence on me, got me through my second year in the Navy. I have a bad attitude today, not given to working much. See you next week, maybe.
