Sonny Landreth

In keeping with my original intent for this blog, I would like to recommend a great CD - From The Reach by Louisiana's own Sonny Landreth. Sonny is one of the best guitar players I've ever seen - and I've seen a lot. Like Jeff Beck, he employs techniques that are very original and unique. And on this recording he has the added performances of luminaries such as Eric Clapton, Dr. John, Mark Knopfler, Eric Johnson, and many more. It's a great blend of blues/country/soul and has been in my player for years.

I’m Back

I apologize to anyone who followed this blog but I got tired of the political stuff and dismayed by the Obama regime. However, since it’s election season, I think it’s time to ramp it back up. Plus I still have thoughts on music, sports, and life in general. So here we go again!

My apologies

My apologies go out to anyone who may check this blog for updates; I have been so frustrated with the things that are happening that I haven't had the heart to comment. I will endeavor to do better.

Global Warming Links

I said that I would provide links that point out the lies and deceit of the Global Warming advocacy – here are several starting points (the first one has to do more with the ineptitude of any Federal program than about Global Warming):

Relief workers ate steak, Navajos scraped by

What to say to a global warming advocate

Climategate U-Turn

Now IPCC hurricane data is questioned

World may not be warming, say scientists

Please note that the last three come from extremely liberal publications in the UK; unlike the NY Times and other progressive media outlets in the States, they evidently still practice real journalism.

The religion of Global Warming

There is a mountain of evidence coming out that suggests that man-made global warming is a fraud that has been perpetrated on us to the tune of billions of dollars (who knew?). I intend to provide as many links as I can but the evidence shows that the global warming elite has falsified, misrepresented, and in some cases ignored data in order to produce the outcome that they desired. This whole thing has been a money and power grab – hence the efforts to ram through Cap & Tax before the November elections find a lot of elitist Global Warming advocates unemployed.

Update

So far so good on the New Years Resolutions. The wife's company Christmas party was a bit of a setback, as was the massive soreness that a 46 year old out of shape fat guy accrues when hitting the gym five days straight. Taking a couple days off to recover but will start hitting it hard again tomorrow.

New Year's Resolutions

I have never been real big on New Year's resolutions, I tend to live for the moment and pursue the things I enjoy with gusto. However, I had a medical event on Dec. 30 that made making some New Year's resolutions seem appropriate, given the timing. So in 2010 I have resolved to:

1) Lay off the beer except on special occaisions (Jazz Fest would be one of those). So far I have stuck to this one, believe it or not.

2) Lay off other booze beyond one medicinal drink or small glass of wine. So far I violated this one once, on Sunday, but I was having a gout attack from Hell at the time. Yesterday I went to the clinic and got that taken care of.

3) Get in the gym again; it has been way too long.

4) Drop 50 pounds. This one will only be tough if I regress on the other 3.

Wish me luck and feel free to ask for progress reports; I need the moral support!!
