  1. So my son is almost 7 and we are about to get him a queen size bed so that we can use the bedding that my wife bought 3 years ago because “it was just perfect”.

    I took the opportunity to have him help me build a headboard for it. We are going with a rustic pallet board style, but with nicer Pine. Everything is cut, sanded, ready to stain and assemble, but guess who can’t decide what color stain to use. I have already stained 10 different samples using 5 different stains letting them sit for various times, and guess who is going back to Home Depot for another stain at lunch? I know it is on me, but I wish I would have just done it without asking her opinion.


    Nothing brings out the crazy in a woman like a project for the house.
    Fuck HGTV

    I can't even imagine what Vince Gill's guitar collection is worth.  It has to be in the many millions.  That's terrible about the flood . . . oof.  No matter how rich he is, that must have been devastating.

    The pictures of all of the guitars lost in that flood are truly devastating.

    Fate's Right Hand was such a great album.  I had no idea how many songs he had written that were hits for others - Shame on the Moon by Seger is one of many...Wow.

     

    His story about Johnny Cash is a good one:

    "I'm pretty sure I represent the longest list of ex-son-in-laws ever [from] one family on this planet," joked Rodney Crowell. He recalled going down to Johnny and June's second home in Jamaica, back when he thought he was a "world-class bad boy," expecting to share a bed with then-fiancee Rosanne Cash. Although "his social politics were liberal and forgiving," Crowell quickly learned that his future father-in-law had his conservative side, as Cash reacted to the presumed sleeping arrangement by saying, "Son, I don't know you well enough to miss you if you're gone."

    He told that story at Johnny Cash's memorial.  Rosanne's eulogy was one of the greatest things I've ever heard.  

     

    This is her eulogy.   YouTube won't let me embed it for some reason, but worth the click.

  4. In the memory of Lonestar Man......we shall discuss the brilliance of Sir Rodney Crowell.   

    He has a new record out called Acoustic Classics.  Stripped down versions of some of his greatest songs.  It will kick you in the nuts....it is that good. 

    First of all, he should be knighted for writing this song so Buddy Miller and Emmylou could shine.  (fucking youtube won't let me embed  this one for some reason. .....assholes)

    But to demonstrate how great of a songwriter he is, Kelly Willis called him up and asked him for some songs.  He sent her a bunch that had never been recorded and she picked this gem.  

    No one has ever recorded this song....it is an incredibly, well-written song.

     

    Earthbound has always seemed underrated.....and his love for Rosanne Cash never, ever dies.

  5. It is a 'limo' version with three rows of seats.  Put a new wiring harness with brake lights, turn signals, and horn that will soon play Dixie.  

    I couldn't find any pics of my cart.  Will get some this weekend after I get all of my wife's crap off of it.  

     

  6. Older model my buddy has. We "retrieved it" from a car dealership one night about 5 years ago. Took the motor to Augusta to have it rebuilt. Took the body panels off to have it repainted. Motor back in .... But nothing else. 89a564fc6b4c4bd69226311b2c64d70c.jpg

    Wow.  I don't even know what to say about that take with the Everly Brothers.  Your word "sublime" works.  Beautiful.

    Check out Chet at 1:24.  He actually LOOKS like Mark Knopfler, like his much older brother or something.

    First thought that was Nick Lowe on the bass until I watched the Walk of Life got a better look at him.  Holy shit...that is David Hungate.

    Maybe you could ask her boyfriend to let her keep some of that shit at his house. Or at least let her stay longer.

    That is my wish.  I think she is going to see our oldest daughter this weekend.  I'm planning a family portrait of all of the different kinds of cooking oil we have.  And I honestly can't tell you the last time she cooked a meal, which makes the constant purchase of spices and cooking oil a bit of a questionable practice.  I blame the fucking Food Network and that shithole HGTV for at least part of this.  

  9. Back on track you assholes.

    On the plus side, my wife was out of town for 3 glorious weeks. Three fucking weeks and not one hassle.

    Now I'm paying the price.
    1-listening to every minute of everything she did while gone
    2- a million questions of "what did you do"
    3- she comes home with a car load of more "cute antiques". Each, all have plans for future use that shall never materialize.
    4-. More spices, teas and olive oils along with a member to the "Olive Oil of the Month " Club. The gift that just keeps on giving. See pic below.

    Oh, while gone see texts me asking what the best GPS was. Nevermind she has navigation in her car and on her fucking phone. I don't give a shit about the money.....but why another GPS unit to keep up with. Sure already had one......I have yet to broach the subject on the need for another.

    To return to the plus side, she is going out of town again next week. da6840aa6a9a44a802e8df3a8a6261e9.jpg

  10. Apparently Sara Evans' sister just crawled out of the back seat of someone's Camaro.
    (Apologies if that's a relative, it's surly.)
    Doesn't she look fun? No idea who she is though.
  11. Wow, The Connells.  That's a trip via the wayback machine.  I saw them a couple of times and bought their album.  I think their promo photo was of their shoes?
    No shit. I've known her for a couple of years but when she said that, I damn near proposed. But I don't know how my wife and her husband would take it.

    When I get back to the house, I'll post the list of songs we are learning.

    When my brother finally takes back his 64 DR, this is what I'm buying.  

    Also, I think I'm in the process of forming a duo.  Was having cocktails with a liquor rep friend and was going to play some music on the jukebox.  I asked her what she wanted to hear.  "How about Crowded House or The Connells"?  Then she starts singing along.  Her voice blew me away.  As we talked, she said she always wanted to play in a two piece duo.  

    So, we made a list of 10 songs that she thought she could sing and I'm in the process of learning them.   Then I'll teach her the chords and we will see if this goes anywhere.  If it works out, I'l be in the market for a PA and other goodies to run everything through.

  13. Saw Kelly Willis on Sunday in Atlanta.  

    https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/kelly-willis/2018/smiths-olde-bar-atlanta-ga-3ea21bf.html

    Didn't know how the new band would be without a female harmony singer and not fiddle/mandolin, but the guys really pulled it off.  Geoff Queen a really solid guitar player and an incredible steel player.  The new keyboardist is also fantastic on a Tele.  Kelly has really gotten more and more talkative over the years on stage.  Very funny.  Great so....but what else would you expect from her.

    every show I wanted to see at cool venues was on Sunday..the day we left.  Until this year I have never been to Dallas.  This was the third time this year and not a good (I like red dirt music) show was to be found.  Next time, just straight to Austin

     

    You could have come to Atlanta and seen Kelly Willis with me.  We had a group of 10 go.  Tickets were $20 and probably 150 in the room.
