The Tree


My wife and I travel a certain road about twice a month to visit some friends. We are always fascinated by this tree. Can you imagine it's 1970 and this is the cover of a rock album? I love this pic.

1970's- Post Eight

Yep, back in the 70's I was a dj for
several years. I worked full time and part time. As far as enjoying it I have to admit it was a blast, but it didn't pay enough to live on.

It was a small town morning to night country station and I worked all shifts at one time or another. I also wrote copy ( commercials) , and even wrote out the logs when the secretary was on vacation.

I visited there recently and of course now everything is computerized which just takes all the fun out of the job.

The pic shows a dj friend of mine who worked there for a short time. I'm the one on top of the piano and I really did dress that way. Youth..........

Music.......Post Six


Have received an email from my all time fav singer...Michelle Shocked. Was just thinking about how much fun it would be to travel the globe doing what you really love to do. I know there are hardships with it also, but you are doing something that is just so much fun.


I taught school for 28 years and probably enjoyed one year out of that time. I think I was a good teacher, but to me it was just a job and not something I was crazy about doing.


I am trying now to learn how to play the 'slap' bass. It's a technique that really sounds good, but can also get really complicated to play. I am just in the starting stages...so not much slapping yet.
