It used to be breakfast, but now all my efforts go into making a good dinner.

Reseating a toilet today. Ah....the life of a rock star.

^What fantastic news, Susan!!!! I hope it all works out.

^Just wait....Miles might name you himself. Aedan decided that I would be Pop-Pop and he named his maternal grandmother Geega. Both have stuck.

For the past couple of years, I've started every Saturday morning listening to a podcast called "Stereo Hysteria." It's a great one-hour show for people who love music. Every week has a different theme.
This week's show is "Waiting".....and to my delight it started with TPATH performing "The Waiting" at the LA Forum in 1981.
Check this show out.....it's fantastic:

Nothing weird in my wallet....just money and credit cards. Weird that I would have any money, though.

He released George Harrison's "So Sad" on On The Road To Freedom before George released it on his own album, Dark Horse. You can hear George contributing acoustic guitar, dobro, bass, and backing vocals on Alvin's version.

Alvin Lee, the former singer and guitarist in Ten Years After, died earlier today (Wednesday) after complications from a routine surgical procedure. He was 68.
His family has posted a statement on his website saying, "We have lost a wonderful and much loved father and companion. The world has lost a truly great and gifted musician."
Lee started his professional career in 1962 in The Jaybirds, hitting their stride in the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany, shortly after The Beatles achieved success there. The band relocated to London in 1966 and eventually morphed into Ten Years After. Their early albums were mainstays on U.S. progressive rock radio, and that support enabled them to tour the States 28 times in seven years stating in 1968, which was more than any other U.K. band. This success was further fueled by their appearance at Woodstock and its subsequent film.
Lee left the band in the mid-'70s and launched a solo career with the album On the Road to Freedom, which featured appearances by his good friend George Harrison, along with Steve Winwood, Ronnie Wood and Mick Fleetwood. He rejoined Ten Years After in the late '70s for two more albums, followed by a reunion tour and album in 1988 and '89 and a few shows in 1994. He released his last album, Still on the Road to Freedom, last September.

I love "The Porpoise Song."

It's past midnight on the East Coast, so I guess I can post this now.
Inspired by Nurk's LP of the Week yesterday: "What your very favorite Monkees song?"
-
I loved it, Sheila!!! You had me smiling quite a bit!!!! Great job.
-
Haven't listened to the Monkees in quite a while. This is great fun. Thanks, Nurk.
-
Gotta be getting the tickets.

Most of my favorites are dead....Mitch Hedberg, Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Richard Pryor. One person who never fails to crack me up is Robin Williams. And David Letterman.

1. What's one of your favorite "little things" to enjoy life?
My favorite thing on earth is sitting in my backyard alone on a nice summer day, music on the iPod, whisky in hand, just watching the wind blow gently through the trees.
2. What's been the most useless purchase you have ever made?
Way back when, I bought a laserdisc player. Probably used it a dozen times.
3. What do you consider the soundtrack to your life?
The British Invasion.
4. What one ridiculous luxury would you take if you were filthy rich?
I'd buy every Athanor album in the world and make it a million seller!!!!!
5. What's a memorable tv ad you have seen?
"Bonjour"
6. Do you have a problem doing things alone sometimes? ie; eating out, going to the movies, etc..
No. There are actually times I'd rather do things alone than be with others.
