A couple of bees stopped by for breakfast this morning, on one of our sunflowers… Been a great summer in our yard, for the insects… The good ones, anyway…

So… a goofy photo of me, holding an early ’70’s Yamaha acoustic guitar… The first ‘real’ decent guitar I ever purchased. Loved this ‘ax’ but, it was too big for me. I weighed 115 pounds then… I ended up selling it to my friend from the Tabor youth group, Don Brees.
Move ahead FIFTY years… Don stopped by, while visiting the old stomping grounds. We reconnected a few years ago- one of the few benefits of that Facebook place… And, he brought the guitar with him… Always good to see him. And, as my lovely wife says, it’s nice to know good people, who are making a difference in the world…..
So, here is a video from Youtube. Don has a site/page, and, here he is, playing said guitar….

We played a couple tunes, at the Opry Open Mic. It was outside, so, pardon the background noise, and such… I think we did pretty good…
We did a tour of the UK, and, got to visit, the frickin’ Cavern Club. So, we learned a few more Beatles tunes…..
So, we have a couple friends from the Nashville area… They play ukuleles, but, not what you think of, with uke tunes…. They turn a tune into their own. Their band is great. They really make listening fun….
Here’s an example of one of their covers…. Never ‘liked’ the tune, til they spun it upside down …. Go, give a listen to it, and their other work…. Good stuff……
We’ve been a couple times… You KNOW you want to go….
Was watering plants/pots, this morning, and came across this caterpillar. It’s a black swallowtail… We’ve seen several of them as butterflies, wandering through the yard. Happy to see one in progress…
