Possibly Beverly, aka Rushgrrl (not sure of spelling) from the CP board. Toronto native, but attended a lot of out of townshows, including most of the Vegas shows. This would have been before CP dropped out in Jan/Feb 2013.

From my friend John, a musician and electronics buff: "I'd like to do an old Chinese melody called Tu Ning." " Did you hear, the Energizer Bunny died. Seems he got his polarity reversed and he kept coming and coming and coming. "

Mrs. Bear has regressed to watching reruns of "The Big Bang Theory." I'm losing hope for her.

Vice. Goddamn, Dick Chaney was disturbed af.

From Doing Justice, by Preet Bharara (former Manhattan District US Attorney), on the steps taken regarding the Internet viewings of a Federal defendant accused of, among other things, cannibalism: "And he reviewed recipes for human flesh...(yes, they exist on the Internet, not all of which recommend fava beans and Chianti as accompaniments.)"

"That's why we're still talking about Rush", hell yes.

Golden Earring gets slaughtered by Guns! Guns! Guns!

Bohemian Rhapsody. Great.

If not too beat from Karen's caretaking, Pat Benetar/Neil Geraldo in May.

Tim Evans, the face of the Trivago commercials on tv, gets popped for DUI in Houston.

That would be the shit. Les has a talent for drawing musicians to him and putting out some incredible music. The Bernies Bucket of Brains mp3 gets some major playing time in my car.

Kim Kartrashian in an apprenticeship to become a pettifoging shyster.

No. Boring, like all his music, imho.

Happy Birthday, FordGalaxy. A fitting name as my very first car was an old fake wood sided Country Squire wagon.

Are you sure about that? lol. yeah that was a quick drop out. Dunno what's going on.

Isn’t this it? Where do you stand on pineapple as a topping? Karen likes Hawaiian pizza (ham and pineapple)but I can't stand it. And while I'm here,I'm going to give a vote for Detroit style square pizza ! All hail Buddy's!

CP is back up. It seems FJ was only able to deal with the boards issues during the weekend.

Another big fan of fusion. Huge fan of Al DiMeola.

Hired Gun. About some of the better musicians you may have heard, but rarely hear bout. I got a couple words for Ged and Alex if they start looking again. Kenny Aronoff. 'Nuff said.

Yes, or rather, Carlos Sanchez, the actor who played Juan for over 40 years in commercials for Cafe de Columbia. He died in Medellin 12/29/18, age 83.

Received an email from Hyundai Financial advising that since the Sonata is paid off, my automatic payment plan is cancelled. Should have the clear title shortly. Not sure about keeping the car, need to wait until I figure how Karen's mobility will factor in. I may be looking at an SUV or purposed vehicle.

Zep for both, no contest. More a Van Hagar than Van Halen fan. Best Van Halen music I ever heard was an EVH guitar sample on a 2 Live Crew recording.
