Hello everyone!

I'm all sappy. I was just at bbc resources gazing at your beautiful faces wondering who I was going to meet at FSGW. Sooo..I decided to come over and visit. I don't get much time to visit the Tavern, to my regret. bbc, please make me a Tanqueray and Tonic, no lime, please. I would also like to buy _gargoyle a drink if he will allow me to. I wish there was a picture of you at the resources, _gargoyle.

I stopped trying to learn to play guitar for a while, but I'm back at it. The chording's going well, but I have trouble with the strumming. I'm afraid to try picking yet. It's going to be awhile I'm afraid.

It's so good to see you all. Soo. what trouble are we getting into tonight. You can count me in.

Heya, Seed, nice ta meetcha. No, don't know Barney Brown, nor yet had the pleasure of browsing Copperfield's Books.

The session tent is a feature of the annual Celtic music festival in Sebastopol. A concertina player and some very fine fiddlers & guitar & bodhrans were jamming when I came to from my Tavern stupor. I was too shy to ask who they were...

There are workshop tents, too & an outdoor stage, an indoor stage & a dance tent, yeeha. At play were Duck Baker & Kieran Fahy, Tim O'Brien & Darrell Scott, Maura O'Connell, John Cunningham, Susan McKeown & Aidan Brennan, & a host of others, some local, some from the auld sod.

Tim & Darrell opened up a Saturday night concert. They had folk wandering in & out of their set - Sharon Shannon,Paddy Keenan, Sean Smyth, Maura O'Connell. And that was the first set - the second set was Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill who come every year and put their particular spell on us.

The festival goes all weekend (from Friday night thru Sunday night) and all the hotels, motels, bed & breakfast places, etc. are usually all sold out for it, so if you want to go next year, plan early. Makes a lovely weekend up on the Russian River and then all that wonderful music and then go eat like small barnyard animals at Negri's.

oh, there are vendors and crafts at the festival, too. And food. Douglas (mine) was gnawing on what I thought was a turkey leg, but now that I think about it, it did look awfully pink... my best eats vote goes to something called "Death & Taxes" - a reasonable substitute for The Black which is my favorite food and is very very good for you.

It's a little late (or early, depending) but hey, I'll commiserate. Turkey rocks, barkeep, thank you. Sounds like you had the perfect ambiance for a music session...was there lightning, thunder, wind and rain also? Weather permitting I like to go outside on the front or back porch and serenade the neighbors, dogs, cats, what-have-you.

Don't be too discouraged. Progress does indeed come slow, it seems...I've been plunking away for nigh on 30 years off and on, and I haven't progressed much farther than the three-chord song....well, maybe I'm not the best one to be commiserating with you, on second thought (ahem)....hey, don't pay me no nevermind, do you know how many songs only have three chords? Billions...virtually all blues tunes, as well as lots of Country & Western and Bluegrass tunes, folk tunes too...and rock tunes...well, hell, nearly all songs have only three chords. Sometimes a song has only two...one in particular that readily comes to mind is a Hank Williams tune whose name eludes me at the moment,(Leej?) but it goes..."and that's all she wrote (Dear John)...I've sent your saddle home." Two chords. And sometimes only (count 'em) one. Really. One chord. John Lee Hooker does a tune about the Tupelo, Mississippi flood (blues enthusiasts, I apologize if I've got the location wrong)...one chord, probably E.

When I was having trouble changing chords fast enough, I'd try to think about something else while trying to play as slow as necessary to keep a steady rhythm while changing chords. Doesn't matter what you think about...I'd think about someone I hadn't seen in a long time, or a place I'd been to, and do the chord changes without trying to think about it. Seemed to help me with the speed, sort of along the lines of concentrating too hard gets in the way of progress.....

Then for me too what helped was to get out my little battery powered cassette player and play along with songs that sounded like they'd be easy to play. Like the one chord and two chord gems mentioned above. Then I could delude myself thusly: "Hey, I can play like John Lee Hooker and Hank Williams!" It would work for a little while.

And lastly, I'd try to make up my own stuff. That's the fun part. Trying to invent chords, twisting my fingers into pretzels, making up songs and verses...playing a chord and lifting one of my fingers to see how that changed the sound..playing games.

I can sympathize with you on the progress thing, really. But this time next year, I guarantee you'll be amazed at the progress you've made. I know it's hard to find time to practice...I try to play a little at least every day, even if it's only for 15 minutes. You'd be surprised even with that small amount of time how much it helps. And too , it seems like there's barriers that have to be broken through...seems as though you slog along forever, never seeming to make any progress, then one day....you wake up and boom! you suddenly can make that difficult chord change you've been practicing forever. Then you're on cloud 9 and all those sessions that ended in bloody fingers suddenly seem worthwhile. And you're happy that your guitar playing level has reached a new plateau.

It's been nice commiserating with you. Sadly, I have to earn a living, so I have to leave for now. Hope to see you back here soon and I'd love to hear about the progress you are certain to have made the next time we speak.

BTW, do you all still call an interstate on ramp, "Port of Entry" or something like that? Just curious.

Regards, Neil

I've been sittin' in the dark for four hours because the electricity suddenly died in my neck o' the woods. Bereft of 'lecktricity, all I could do was light candles and play guitar. I'm so discouraged. I don't have time to play on a daily basis and it seems that my progress is absolutely infinitesimal... I AM making something that sounds like music a little bit, but I want to WAIL!!!

So, ker-app. Think I'll have myself a touch of Mr. Jameson's finest and see who's around here to commiserate. Who's barkeep tonight -- or are we on the honor system again?

Joe, you can steal my clicky-thing tables whenever you want. You can leave off the part about avoiding the mowing of the lawn, though. :-)

Three part harmony on SPANISH LADIES with the first tune listed (minor key) being sung in three part harmony by Jeff, Lou, and Bruce, (who's been singing with Jeff a lot lately and is the guy who's been helping me with my voice) and the rest of us joining in on the 105 dB chorus. I will eventually shut up about this, but it was one of those magical nights you just don't want to get over...

and yes, I'm jealous that Lou Killen and Jeff Warner were at your session. Heck, the best-known person who shows up at the Sacramento session I attend is a guy named Joe Offer who sings camp songs.

Ok, ok, it's a customer service telephone (no "cold" calling - couldn't stand that) job with a home improvement (windows & siding) co. Nothing fancy, but it's a small office where everybody gets along and wears jeans to work.

So, was anyone at all jealous that Louie Killen showed up at the session? I can't honestly think of a non-Mudcat performer I'd rather see walk through the door.

So your man stumbles into his local. His eyes are crosses, teeth are out, there's a split across the bridge of his misshapen nose. In a barely audible voice he mumbles his request for a pint.

"God, man, who did this to you?" asks the concerned and interested bartender.

"I'm after Tim Riley doing this to me" says your fella.

"Tim Riley ? Riley's a wee man, he couldn't have done this to you."

"Well," says your boy "he had a shovel in his hand, didn't he?"

The man behind the mahogany is aghast. "Riley had a shovel in his hand? And what did you have in yours?"

"Mrs. Riley's breast, but it's not much good in a fight."

And that, LEJ, is why I wanted to call our last cat Mrs. Riley's Breast. When he arrived on the doorstep he was short of his origial issue of teeth, toenails, fur and skin. Now he's healed and just grateful to have a job, sir. Great cat. Guess he really didn't need a handle like Mrs. Riley's Breast, but I did want to hear his name called by our vet's receptionist. Or to answer the question when someone in the vet's office asked the good natured question "What have you got in the box?"

Anyhow, a pint please. And if there's anything on the beer engine, that's me. Cheers, E.S.

My daughter teaches and I think she is as busy with school work on weekends as she is with school kids during the week.

Jeff Warner (who's a regular) brought Louis Killen, and we made the rafters to ring. One of the regulars has a tuner with a sound level meter on it. We topped 105 dB, acapella!

Driving home this evening I had one of those wierd tricks of perspective your snses sometimes indulge in. As I crested the rise, instead of the view appearing to be the normal one across the valley, the sunset and clouds combined for a moment to make it look as if I was gazing out over an ocean bay, with islands scattered about, waves braking against their shores. It was momentary, but magical. Made me think of the door at the Tavern....

What words?? Geeze, I keep missing important things. Say Spaw, I had a hell of a time gettin' Bert to the ER, ya see I don't drive, so I hoisted him up over my shoulders and carried hom off. Got some mighty strange looks too. Say Bert, I know that this is a personal question, but what do you weigh anyway??

I have had moonshine once, and it was smooth, and once was enough.

So'm I supposed to do a Party Piece?? like, um the Story that I Started at the Kirk Soire?? If so, maybe I will try a bit of that, no, no, I won't take it lying down.

Just a bit of the black vile stuff and I'll be ready . .

When first to the town I came for to stop I started up in business in my side street shop To the Kirk every Sunday I gaed twice as a rule And counted the collection for the Sunday school But my greatest ambition it was you see To tell a wee bit story at a Kirk Soire.

I think I'll go and have another Black Vile before our hero meets his comeuppance.

A guy was hitch-hiking through Rockcastle County Kentucky, when a battered old Ford pick-up pulled over. He ran up to the open passenger door and was shocked to see a toothless farmer pointing a double-barrel at him. " Git in," said the farmer, who proceeded to turn off the main road onto a rutted gravel track that wound up and over a ridge. The farmer finally stopped in a clearing, where he pulled off a cover of leaves and branches, exposing a still. Next to the still was a cracked gallon jug, which the farmer filled from the tap on the cooking kettle. He held it out to the hitch-hiker, who took it with some reluctance. The farmer clicked off the safety on the scattergun, and pointed it at the poor guy's head. " Drink, " he ordered.

The guy took a big slug of something that tasted like a cross between isopropyl alcohol and varnish, and found himself flat on his back staring at an interesting array of pops, flashes and shimmering stars in the air all around him. Finally, the farmer nudged him, taking the jug from him and handing him the shotgun.

" Now," he said. " You hold the gun on me while I take a drink."

Rats! I missed Mick's grand entrance, a tavern-moving, and a foot scorching, and a round on Bert and a round on MMario, and all, Well, I'm awake now and will await events. Not awake enough yet to set 'em in motion.

WOW! 2500 simoleans! Lessee, if I remember, the current exchange rate is 1 simolean is 256.314159 antedeluvian arkbits, and an arkbit is 6.66 phonetican sylabuls and a sylabul is worth 1000 whurds. Anyone know what the exchange rate of whurds for dollars is? Or since his credit is sterling, maybe we should figure it in pounds? *grin*

Mian - are you done playing in the fire pit? I wanna roast some chestnuts....
