OK. Jo-jo is getting eaten alive by viruses. Now, I might just be an old country boy from East L.A., but somebody better fix him. Fast. If Kamala Harris takes the reins of this country, good luck to us all. You think it sucks now….. I am not impressed with her political savvy nor herContinue reading “Under Attack”

It Has Only Been 30 Years
Since I wrote my last song. Here it is (let me know what you think): Gone Verse 1 She dropped off the kids at her mother’s Took out half the cash from the bank She cleaned the house from top to bottom Washed the truck and even filled the tank Chorus Then she was goneContinue reading “It Has Only Been 30 Years”
Wow!
It’s not every day, or often enough, for that matter, that you see or hear something and it makes you say “wow!” out loud. In researching songs to add to my playlist, I came upon a video on YouTube posted in 2103. It featured Stevie Ray Vaughn (the King of West Texas blues) and JeffContinue reading “Wow!”
Goodbye and Farewell
The closer I get to my own denouement, the more people that pass into the Next Sphere that have affected my life. I was a Leave it to Beaver guy. Wally (Tony Dow) was the prototypical big brother from the fifties. I suppose he reminded me of my own big brother. Eddie Haskell was money.Continue reading “Goodbye and Farewell”
A Great Show
I got to see Ashley McBryde last night. Oh, and some guy named Hank Jr. jk. This was my fifth Hank Williams Jr. show dating back to the seventies. That’s right. Fifty years ago. He’s still got it. He rocked the house on a couple tunes and had all of us singing along with hisContinue reading “A Great Show”
Numbers
Being “good with numbers” is pretty much a requirement for any successful businessperson. I don’t care to even think about how much money I wasted in my life. The amount would disgust some, but I don’t give a shit. It makes me smile. And it gave me true stories that others can only read about.Continue reading “Numbers”
Like Riding a Bike
Some things you can’t forget even if you wanted to. Like playing ping-pong, or table tennis which I pursued seriously in my three years in Jolly Olde England. Like playing an E chord on the guitar. Like riding a bike. Like getting a cavernous bowl of popcorn and watching movies all day long. Try forgettingContinue reading “Like Riding a Bike”
Game Day
The time when players step up and perform their best. In high school I practiced hard, maybe not maniac-hard like some of the monsters on the team, but I showed up good enough to keep my backup role intact. Until I pulled my hamstring and Achilles making a tackle. That took me off the rosterContinue reading “Game Day”
It Was Only a Moment
Bagger.” Four short years ago; lifetimes have been lived in such a short span. I was walking. Running. Golfing. And I took it for granted that I would always be able to do so: I like to look at the top pic because it is the last of me actually walking with Karen as weContinue reading “It Was Only a Moment”
Connecting
Sometimes, when you least expect it, something happens in your life that takes you aback. It infuses you with a totally new and different perspective. I had one of those moments at breakfast yesterday morning. Truth be told, I was feeling a little down on myself for hurting so much even though I have reallyContinue reading “Connecting”
