Sunday 

Good morning! 9:45 on this snowy Sunday. I'm not so concerned about the snow as I am about the Moron Militia visiting our fair city, since it's one of the 'designated'  spots, being a State Capitol and all.  Never been a fan of Reality TV--which kinda figures, since I'm not a fan of reality in general--but life is certainly playing out that way. I wish I could change the channel. But then the 'show will soon be over. Or at least taken off the air...

Music news. 2021 seems to be starting with a bang. A new CD of mine, called  Indian Summer , became available on the 1st. And I 'resurrected' one from 2007 that I never quite finished, called A Walk on the Mild Side. It's ready to go as soon as CD Baby approves it. A mix of live and studio performances, with plenty of 'guest stars'. And another resurrection, The Sam Crain Quartet, is supposed to get here by the end of the day Tuesday. 50 CDs. Soon to be online. 

So that's three new recordings, and we're just a tad over halfway through the month. I was kinda hoping things would settle down a bit ,but apparently no such luck. I've long since retired from the dayjob and haven't been "on the scene" in awhile,  but am discovering that you don't really retire from music. Not if you have a real bug for it. More to come...

And that's all I've got, at least for the foreseeable future. I've gotten a couple requests for my archtop guitar, which one person used to call the Huge Guitar. It's still a beautiful instrument. I've been favoring my red Epiphone guitar, partly because it looks better on me. All is vanity. But I'll see about getting Big Mama back in my 'guitar rotation', at least for the YouTube videos. 

Not much else to report. This coming week is one you could shoot a cannon through, so I'm hoping some of that spare time will have some creative results. And as always, whatever works I share. Thanks as ever for stopping in and reading. You know I appreciate it. Happy Sunday to you! For now, this one's outa here. More later.  PS Today's pic was taken at Robbie's , year unknown but figuring 2015. Tom Fatten, Gary Niehaus and me. Tom replaced Bill Schlipf in my trio for awhile in there.  PPS Today's tune is based on Just You, Just Me. Two guitars, both me. The 'miracle' of multi-track recording...
