I though I had posted this here, but, being old, I guess I forgot…. It’s a bit of impromptu jam, with my friend of 52 years, Doug… I added some pix of us through the years, to make it fun for old guys to see themselves… Hope you like it…..

We Can Almost Hear the Dr DeMento Show…
Hey kids. Been awhile. Outside of the holidays, and some jamming, not a lot going on. Not a bad thing. One thing going on recently, was this collaboration… Our amazing friend, Elizabeth Safely Brinker wrote, sang, and played uke on this. The smooth Martin Hoffman was killer on the Ubass. And, the one, the only Michael August added great harp. I did the rhythm guitar, to finish it up… Hope you like it… Cuz, it’s soooo good…
Katie’s Cup, the sequel

Very nice of them to stop by….

The Great Facebook Fiasco
HI there, everyone…. So, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp all bit the dust for several hours, yesterday-Monday… IMO, they did us a favor, to wean us off, and, to show that we can live without them, and, that there are other alternatives to the Zuckerberg circus… I admit, I did miss Instagram a little, but other than that…. Meh…. Our lives went on. Yard work, errands, music, and projects… My lovely wife baked 2 apple pies, and a crisp, with apples we picked. Oh, even got our flu shots. So, did I miss some of our friends adventures? Yes. But, did not miss the sh1t show that can be Facebook…

Broadview Farms and Gardens
Wanted to mention, that we’ve been purchasing produce from Broadview Farm and Gardens for several years. Always amazing produce. Not to mention interesting and nice people… This year, we signed up/purchased a ‘CSA’ summer salad share… Best produce idea we’ve done in years… Just killer produce. Fresh, flavorful, and beautiful. We’ve eaten like queens and Kings… Plus,meet get to support local farms… A win/win situation…
So, just saying, that this may be something you would be interested in… Check ’em out… http://www.broadviewfarmandgardens.com
