I have the honor to be playing with two Bluegrass Boys on these upcoming tribute shows. We’ll be playing the entire Kenny Baker Plays Bill Monroe record start to finish. Shows are Friday, Nov 6th at Mother Fools Coffee Shop, Madison, WI, 8pm, and Saturday, the 7th at the Richland Center City Auditorium in Richland Center, WI. Now excuse me, I have to practice…
It is very unlikely that Glenn Beck Raped and Murdered a Young Girl in 1990. And just because he has never denied that he raped and murdered a young girl in 1990, does not mean that he definitely did do it.
I personally do not think Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990 but I support the rights of the many, many Americans that have their doubts and think it should be discussed…
While in Australia last year, discovered, and soon became addicted to, Vegemite. This is neither here nor there except that when I ripped through the small amount I brought back with me, I needed a place to score some more!
Although it’s made by Kraft, it never caught on in the US and thus, is hard to find. I find this odd, especially here in Wisconsin, where the fact that it is a byproduct of the beer making process would ensure it’s popularity. Not so. Cheese curds yes. Yeast extract no.
Anyway, I was able to get some online but it’s expensive and the shipping is murder! I tried calling all the gorcery stores in town… no go (though some do cary Marmite (Vegemite’s sweeter (and lamer) cousin)). Then lo and behold… my friend Gina produced two 150g jars of the delicous brown ooze… from World Market no less. As the folks from OZ would say: “Good on ya’ World Market”!
Addiction pacified.
Attendees at this year’s Sugar Maple Festival were treated to a Bluegrass Boy Reunion show featuring Mike Compton on mandolin. Bluegrass Boys Bob Black, Tom Ewing, Mark Hembree were joined by Mike Compton on mandolin, Paul Kienitz on fiddle and Seth Forester on guitar/vocals. Their show was the highlight of the festival and was a fantastic performance by the boys. The tent was rockin’!
It’s absolutely tragic that this isn’t #1 on the Best of Craigslist…
The pictures of this former kitty are funny enough but the post itself makes this one truly special… Enjoy.
Today was the first time this year that I wasn’t excited to get out the Toro and do some light Torroing. I’ve had enough of snow this year thanks! Could we make with the sun and warm already!?!
I was totally shocked today to learn that a former co-worker, Mr. Tom Dowdy, passed away this past Saturday.
If you’re a Mac user, you know Tom’s work. When I joined the QuickTime group at Apple Computer, I remember being blown away to learn that Tom had written SimpleText. The dude wrote SimpleText! If this isn’t impressive to you, then perhaps you can appreciate that every time you light up a joint, get good and baked, throw on some tunes in iTunes, and zone out to the iTunes Visualizer, you can thank Tom for that.
He was a great coder, chef, loved wearing black (and subsequently walking the line) and listened to the worst music on the planet. This is for you Tom…
