Wet n' Unwild Wednesday 

Good morning! 10:45 on this wet n' unwild Wednesday, 12 degrees out with a feels-like temperature of -1. February, get thee behind me...

Music news. Still trying to get two albums through on CD Baby, passing their sometimes grueling inspection process. I thought I had everything complete.  Got an email from them just yesterday, with yet more to fix. Much frustration and anger...They're all working from their homes, so you can't get anybody directly- although you can schedule a phone call.

I think I've got it now, although I said that last time. Eventually things will move forward, and in a couple months I'll have forgotten what a  hassle this all was. Oy...

Quite often, these problems could be handled with a five-minute conversation with somebody- and with a couple minutes to spare. Went through this grief with my garbage service, who has no direct line but rather call centers all over the country. You'd talk to someone in Phoenix who had no way to fix the problem. Finally I corralled one of the drivers, who gave me everything I needed to know in about two minutes. 

I needed to bitch for a minute. Thanks for indulging me, if indeed you're still reading. The good news is that the guitar is alive and well. There's a new one I just put up on YouTube. Cole Porter's Love for Sale. 

And that's all I've got to show for myself today. Making the best of things. Thanks as ever for stopping in and reading. I do appreciate it. Happy Tuesday to you! For now, this one's outa here. More later. PS today's pic was drawn by my then-stepdaughter in 1989 or'90. She was born in '83, so she would've been six or seven. I don't wear glasses anymore, but otherwise a pretty good likeness.  PPS today's tune is a thing called Bleuzet, which is based on Toots Thielemans' Bluesette, and in alternating keys.
