Hi Folks!

Just got in from an open mike at a new place (for me anyway). Gosh was it retro pre-Beatles 60’s Coffee-house low energy folky-pokey, left-wing, protest songs. eyewwwww. I did my usual rock-em sock-em set, and jaws dropped. They did not know what to make of me. Oh Well.

Everybody else was doing stuff from when I was 10 and learning guitar.

Over a HALF CENTURY AGO.

I’m willing to bet I was the only conservative in the bunch...in the very belly of the beast.

I won’t be going back THERE.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Well, good evening/morning, ML...((HUGS))...how did you get to a place like that?

Sounds like you woke them up and now they have something to talk about.

[Kathy in Alaska]

That setting looks like a fun place.

Oooo...you’re lucky you got out in one piece! LOL! But ya sure woke ‘em up!

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

How's everyone doing this morning?

I have to admit, though, the other artists played the guitar very well.

CONSIDERING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYING THE SAME SONGS FOR SIXTY YEARS, I WOULD HOPE SO!!!!!

(((It was a good thing I wasn’t wearing my MAGA hat. Eek)))

[luvie]

Gooood Thursday mornin’, Early Birds!
It’s a beautiful day here in Ft.Worth.
Too warm, but pretty.
I’m off to central Texas today.
Hope to have an uneventful drive today, like yesterday.
All y’all have a GREAT day!
Can you believe it's nearly the weekend?
Bet you’re ready!
(((hugs)))
