  1. Yeah, try the "Magic Castle" - 7025 Franklin Ave. Phone- 323-851-0800 and ask for Gretchen. Opt for a 1 bedroom suite on the 1st (ground) floor. Reg rooms are a bit small. The place reminds you of a 60's motel that the Rat Pack would have hung out at! It's a short walk (1/2 block) to Hollywood and Hyland. That intersection has a subway stop, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, El Capitan Theatre and the Disney Malt shop, plus you are on The Walk Of Fame with all the shops. 9 blocks up the road is Hollywood and Vine where Capitol Records is. A block the other way is Sunset Strip where The Viper Room is and way down Sunset is Mel's Diner. Beyond Sunset is Santa Monica Blvd where you'll find The Troubadour. BTW, I just had the chicken at Roscoe's, I'm not much on waffles. We had to wait for a table because there were about 30 of us together from here at the Farm. Here are some links for you.

  2. Top 20 Drum Intro's

    Before I post this, let me say as a drummer, I disagree with all these intro's as being great. Let me go on record (so to speak) that all are mundane simple drum beats that could have and have been used on millions of songs. There's nothing new or great about them. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

     


  3. My brother just bought an old acoustic guitar at an auction. He thinks it's from the 1930's, but can't find any info on it. Has anyone here heard of a "BELDEN' guitar? If so, what do you know about them? It looks like it has a rounded steel nut at the top of the neck. Any ideas?


  4. I don't know why, but I'm on a roll with sweets! I bought a new Palmer Pizzelle Iron for Christmas and this past weekend made 13 dozen anise pizzelles. I haven't made them in years and now the time was right and I used my mothers recipe, they came out great. I bought a ton of extracts, Anise, Orange, Lemon, Almond, Vanilla, Rum, Maple and more. I have my Grandmothers and my Aunts recipe's and I'll try those too with anise seeds and different flavors. I also bought lemon and orange peels and food colors so I can make colored icings and glazes with different flavors. I'm going to make Maple twist cinnamon rolls with a tan Maple glaze next. After that I plan on making "No Bake" Cocoa Oatmeal Cookies, I haven't made those in over 20 years. That's about it for now, see ya later.
