I just had an egg (no bacon) and a couple of crackers. No, I don't mean white people. I don't eat white people. I mean the pepper crackers I have with my Summer sausage and cheddar cheese.
It started raining hard last night as I...

They are green, but they are puffy! Are there any tomato experts out there? One fell off when I tried to give it a hug. Will it turn red in my kitchen? Or wither and die?
The one shown is still hanging on the vine. I believe...

I have never formally taught "voice" before, but I have a voice student. He has been with me for about two months.
Recently, he auditioned for a musical at his Jr. High. I believe him to be about 13-years-old. We worked on his...

I am working on a pair of JBL L-100s right now. They were brought to me by a fellow East Bay musician. These things go for about $1200/pair right now on eBay if they look and sound good.
The ones my friend brought to me are...

Kitty just strolled outside and sniffed my tomato plants. She did so for about 15 seconds, shifting her sniffing angle left to right.
I wonder what she was thinking. She sees me water them every day. So she must know they're...

I just cooked up an egg with cheddar cheese on top. It was yummy. I don't have to work today, but may do some jammin' with my Burl Jam friends this afternoon. With Burl (Mike) having moved to New Orleans, we're going to have to...

A musician friend brought over a pair of JBL L-100 spears to restore. I have to deal with the cabinets, not the drivers. That gives me something fun to do when I am shuffling around the house listening to music.
This should not...

I work with children in some of my jobs. A couple of years go I decided to record a lullaby and put it out there in internet land.
What I had forgotten was that it was the song the "sensitive folk musician guy charming the pretty...

She is eating dry food, provided by me. I am eating a doughnut, provided by my friend at Guitar Center.
Tomorrow I get to relax.
Did you have an equally exciting Saturday night?

I just came across this video. I am pretty sure that's me on bass. It feels like more than three years ago. Comparisons to the bass player Phil Lesh are invited. He was my bass playing idol. I wanted to take a lesson from him but...

I woke up this morning to a frozen computer. Well, almost frozen. I was able to get "delete cookies" to work." Now things seem to be working normally. When deleting my cookies and temporary files does not work, I reboot my...

As you know, I am a world-renowned gourmet chef. My dear friend @LadyDuck has informed me that I have invented several Italian dishes, even though I lived in Italy for only a year.
My latest gourmet creation...

I got my guitars back today. Both seem to be in good shape. I am going to restring the Martin.
I was going to get some BBQ in Berkeley on the way home, but the rain made that inconvenient. I had to load the guitars into the cab...

I just bought some beer at my local gas station. Inside I ran into a fella I know who may wind up fixing my truck door. He told me he had just sent my take on Townes's "Pancho and Lefty" to a club owner friend of his. The guy...

I had forgotten that MyLot payout would be soon. For some reason, I had a good month in October. I made my "T and A" goal, and almost made my "Totally Ridiculous Over The Top Goal." I attribute it all to my Rice Chex, which...

I learned yesterday that my Collings OM-1 and Martin D-18 acoustic guitars are ready to be picked up at Wood Street Guitar Repair in Oakland California.
The Collings is my gigging guitar, and had some fret wear. The Martin is my...

I grew up in Chicago, and sometimes enjoyed listening to the blues.
Do you think that Stevie Ray Vaughan may have been influenced my Jimi Hendrix, and other blues musicians?
My hunch is that he was.
I hope you enjoy this video...

@Vandana7 does not like this video because Mike let the "videotape" roll, and you get to see my ugly mug instead of pretty pictures of nature.
But I just re-watched the video after months of not having done so, and it's not as...

I went wild at the grocery story today and bought some goodies I don't always buy. Among the things I bought were some pre-fab salads and some Marie's blue cheese dressing. I also bought some Summer sausage and some sharp cheddar...
