Another Country/Wave group that I really enjoyed back in the day was Lone Justice. Maria McKee had this gritty, ethereal voice that I loved. With a hint of Brenda Lee. Check out Wheels, Reflected and Shelter, but really it's all good. Maria did have a few solo albums as well.

One of my female coworkers on the factory trawler in the Bering Sea loaned me her CD of The Trinity Sessions. Immediately after that two month tour, I searched my favorite Portland, Oregon record store and bought the vinyl. Been a Junkies fan ever since. The album would've been a year old or so at that time, so 89 or 90 ish.

What is this "overkill" thing that some laymen speak of? Seems perfectly normal to me.

Does it taste any better closer to it's homeland?

Ooh, haven't made jambalaya in quite some time. Thanks for the reminder,. I guess I have a Costco visit in my near future for shrimp, sausage and peppers.

Some music nerd requested a box for his violin strings. So two wood nerds set out building such a thing. We had some figured Cherry and some Walnut, so... Now I just need that music nerd from Austin to look at his messages and give me an address to send this package to.

Naan your business! 😝

Smart kid!

I try to do the same with Giuliani, but it doesn't work for me. He is fully responsible for throwing his own legacy in the dumpster. As much as I'd like to give Barney a pass, I just can't.

Have a phenomenal day!

Frothy Coffee was one of my old drag names.

I drove her for about 10 months when I first moved out here. RIP Skanky!

Condolences.

I've discovered that I'm not getting weaker the older I get, but in fact quite a bit stronger. Yesterday I lifted a $100 bag of groceries with one arm, like it was nothing. I couldn't do that in my twenties!

Congrat on another Birthday!

Did you name your dog Rockwell? 😆

Today I became an official 'Old Fart'. In reality that happened on my Birthday in February, but since my local SS office was too backed up to do my Medicare application at that time, it became official today with a Medicare phone application. I'm now the proud recipient of Medicare part A. Since I'm still employed with medical insurance, I don't need to apply for Medicare part B until I retire or stop receiving outside medical insurance. I believe at that time I can have the part B cost pulled directly from my Social Security payments. I do believe full heartedly that I've absolutely earned said 'Old Fart' title. My Doctorate in wood remains 'til the time of my demise, so it's Dr Wood Old Fart from hense forward. Can I get that official title posted under my avatar please?

Controversial for certain, and an utter moron in every interview I've seen of him. A racist, a redneck and a convicted felon, but I'll argue the "decent songwriter" comment. The man could paint a picture like few others. How you can be so idiotic in interviews yet write such poignant lyrics is beyond me. Listen to "If That Ain't Country" and tell me if it set a vivid mood.

Happy Birthday!

A huge congrat my friend!

Have a great day Doug!

Happy belated birthday Squire!

Have the greatest of Birthdays buddy!

That looks yummy!
