Good morning! It's 11:17 here in Monsoon Land, Illinois- getting our daily dollop of rain. My computer was acting up earlier, adding letters I didn't want and just generally being a pain in the keester. Just that extra touch to make Monday even Mondayer.
These minor adversities remind me of one of my favorite Monty Python bits: we interrupt this program for three reasons. 1)to irritate you.. It's like the Universe is enjoying the hell it puts you through.
Anyway. I haven't written one of these in a couple days. All is okay here, just nothing all that newsworthy.. Boring domestic stuff. Old guy stuff. Even if you're in good health- as I believe myself to be- you still have those days when you feel moldy. And there's enough of that shared on our good old Social Media.
So. I know there are a few folks out there who check in, maybe enjoy the snappy patter(if I have any)and enjoy the tunes I share. Got one coming right up here.
Here are the gigs I have coming up:
Saturday, July 31st, 5 to 7, in front of the Old State Capitol building.
Monday, August 16, 7 to 10 at The Alamo
Tuesday, August 31st, noon to one, south side of the Square.
Hope to see you at one of these events! If anyone's interested, I'll have some merch, as it were, with me. CDs. Normally online they're around $10 but on gigs I sell 'em for half price.
Okay. That's all I had for you for today. Thanks as ever for stopping in and reading. I do appreciate it! Happy Monsoon Monday to you. Ich bin outa here. More later. PS today's tune is called Boot Scoot. It's based on the old standard Lover Come Back to Me, only the melody is retrograded. Bassackwards. Something lively for this dismal-ass Monday.
