It's only been 74 years--thats like three dead rock stars


Quote from NPR

"Until about 74 years ago, musical instruments remained pretty much the same as they were for centuries. Then a new invention changed modern music and popular culture as well -- the electric guitar. For the continuing series Present at the Creation, NPR's Christopher Joyce traces the origins of an instrument that changed popular music forever. "

Like I said guitar still rules. It really hasn't been around in its present form for long and there is so much more ground to cover. I am still just as fasinated with the guitar today as I have always been. Being a player, many of the mysteries are gone that use to baffle me and as I have said time and time again...nothing is what it appears to be:) This is a lesson learned daily on the guitar and life in general.....Rock on d00d!

When its time to go its time to go, maybe?

I'm not even sure where to start. I woke up in the middle of the night and was unable to breath, rushed out of bed scaring my loved one to death(sorry)...It was just all so unreal. I was dreaming that I was having a hard time breathing and trying to burp then after the ordeal I suspect that is was some combination of digestive/breathing freak event ...Basically all I remember is that I was trying to burp but could not and then woke up and then eventually I got some air and some water and I was fine but I am still left wondering...What in the hell happened? Exactly...What the hell did happen.

I think it really was that I had eaten a lot that night and then went to bed with a slight bit of congestion and then bam, you wake up thinking shit I'm going to die trying to burp up this pizza, it's not a pretty thought ...It's just such a cruel world and you never know what's gone happen or how it's going to happen.

I feel mostly bad for the lady of the house as this just freeked her out, hurt her neck getting up so fast and I have been letting her know she is on death watch and she is not thinking that is really that funny:)

I keep thinking of the Indian guy that told me some freaky things once and they have all come true but that's another story........Remind me it's a doozy and still freaks me out to this day.
