Top ten things to say to fellow musicians to assure them that you are available and desirable for work:

10. My gig was cancelled last night.

9. Still waiting on that check from last Friday.

8. Rehearsing with six bands, this time next year, probably no open dates.

7. Checked out the open mike last night. What a bunch of losers.

6. Learning banjo, seems to be some demand for it.

5. Moe's is having an accordion sale. Another possible cool double.

4. I was spoiled having monitors all those years.

3. The new Indonesian strats are really well made.

2. You have to play for the love of it or you might as well not play.

1. Facebook might lead to something.

Open Square Holyoke

Last August this video was pulling advertisers like crazy, among them Ann Coulter. Now, there are only house ads being displayed. Can anybody guess why?

Mid August 2011

Our son and his wife just celebrated their first wedding anniversary. The blackberry crop has been great; we will see what this steady rain does to it. The maple tree which fell in the storm has now been picked up and sawed up. Quite a brush pile building up again. In the store, we added Paypal to our payment options. The search engines are still sending us orders for record styli. LIFE magazines and records continue to hop along. We keep adding to stuff in the barn for a big book and record sale out there.

getting this graphic out of the old eMac like pulling teeth

I keep the old eMac plugged in, even though the internal modem fried in an electric incident. It has nice internal stereo speakers, I got good music on it and can play some DVDs on there too.
Discovering I had nothing on the windows laptop to overlay type on a picture, I tried pulling up an ancient Adobe Photoshop. Just placing this type took almost two hours, plenty of restarts, and endlessly watching the little round palette twirl.
For quite a few years, the eMac has been a bit confused. Perhaps it never liked being adrift from the internet.
Its only connection to the outside world may be the USB connection and the still functioning DVD drive. Insert metaphor here.

Demotion of the artifact: kilogram to the dustbin of history?
