"Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me"
- Richard Fariña

for along with my being a musician, I too am trained as an engineer, a Mechanical Engineer. I'm reminded of the time two married engineers arrived late for an Early Music Society workshop on a university campus that I was working the registration table for. They drove around and around campus tryin...

My Enoch Tradesman came with a Renaissance head. Perhaps the 12 inch pot et cetera is a factor but I've had teachers come up to me after workshops and ask if they can try it out. Nice sound.
No complaints here.

I just had a very long day.

I needed that.

Thanks

Uh yeah, I was just going to ask if this subject was meant to be a test of the no medical advice rule.

so, the smaller the buttons, the less people will bother you? cool. My technique is to just not leave the thing turned on. Every couple of months I'll be in the car and decide to visit my mother so I'll turn it on to see if I'm welcome and there might be a couple messages waiting but they're easy t...

My problem area is when I go down onto the ground. My back gives out. I know the reason, though. It's my immune disease and stuff. Without asking for medical advice, I will say that I am seeing a doctor and I am going to continue in class one way or another. It's just frustrating to watch all these...

It uses a couple positions that are similar to doing the Sun Salutation sequence in yoga, but the S.S. gives you a little more stretching, flow, and variety. Yeah, the "downward facing dog" (Adho Mukha Svanasana) portion. Yehudi Menuhin (the violinist who wrote the foreword to BKS Iyengar...

I need Stick driving lessons. When one of my co-workers came back to work after some surgery he had a stick. He said the dr.s sent him to physical therapy to get control of his body after the surgery and occupational therapy to get control of his stick. Then he did a series of stick tricks where he...

They gave my grandmother a stick thinking she needed it to help her walk. She didn't think she needed it but everyone insisted she keep it with her "just in case". In the back of my mind I can still see her getting up from her chair, grabbing that stick, and marching out of the room holdin...

When I first heard that Alison Krauss (bluegrass) was working on a CD with Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) I thought...Oh, my goodness! What in the world?? Mind you, I was a Led Zeppelin fan, back in the day, when I was a teen into heavy metal. Afterwards, I got into bluegrass, playing, and even organi...

In that case, Pete's your man. He wrote the book (literally, back in the 1950s) on playing folk music on the banjo. Yeah, for a "folk" style combination of up picking and down stroking listen to a lot of Pete Seeger. Early Bob Gibson was that sort of banjo style too. If that's what you wa...

I tried it one year and thought AAA gave me better discounts when I traveled.

My son lives in Denver and he tells me they usually don't plow the roads there. He tells me they might spread some sand at the cross streets. I was there only once during the winter when it snowed eight inches. By noon the next day 1/2 of it was gone and one of his neighbors was out shoveling in his...

I haven't driven my car for well over a month. The pot holes scare me. I see a lot of people in Chicago here take buses to do their grocery shopping. I recently saw a guy transporting a TV by bus. Buses here are set up for transporting people in wheel chairs and its not unusual to have a couple peop...
