I bought a guitar today. I was so angry about all those lessons I took in the 80s that never taught me anything but a few powerchords. So I quit and decided I'd never play again.
Now I have a hankering to play some Woody Guthrie and maybe some 70s tunes and it's going well.

Saw one of the best shows last night; Gang of Four’s final tour. They sounded fantastic and refused to be apolitical. We all need to follow their example.

Watched a few movies in March. Best firsts were PERSONALITY CRISIS, BLACK BAG, DEATH AND THE MAIDEN, & RACING THE MOON. Also slowly getting back in the habit of a weekly trip to the cinema.

Starting the day by turning off the news and listening to music I love. The Revolution can wait until after breakfast.
Both bands I wouldn’t know if not for digging through records crates and picking up stuff based on ‘huh, that looks interesting’.

The cover for Roy Clark Superpicker cracks me up.

I recently sold my parents’ house and moved my mom to assisted living as a result I have acquired so much vinyl to enjoy. Some way before my time.
