Long Way to Go

Two songs for Twang & Carrie

I get to play two songs for my bud's wedding in Seattle this summer. He's the Ramblin' Nordhouse Stapleman, aka Twang, from this post.

Here they are, in no particular order, with normal attire.

Be Thou My Vision



Great is Thy Faithfulness

Telepcaster is done

This was an awesome project.
Can't wait to start another one.
If you're curious, here's the full build.

Here's how the guitar sounds....

A Blues

Best time of the year

Spring is the best. I love the fact that...
A) winter is over
B) there are 162 games of baseball coming at me
C) summer is just around the corner.

Three Amigos

Good times with Thang & Pete in Somerville.

Sign of the times, Barack: bring back the fireside chat!!

Unfortunately, this is the most accurate representation of today's reality. It's tough to see the light at the end of the tunnel when there's so much gloomy news.

What's more unfortunate, is that the perception of being stuck is reiterated every second of every day--think 2.0, TV, news coverage, etc. If newspapers and radio broadcasts were still our major source , we'd be out of this mess already, because people wouldn't be CONSTANTLY reminded of how bad things are.

Instead, we're stuck in the mud.

Consumers are frightened-->constant reminders-->consumers are frightened-->constant reminders.

It's a shame really.

What ever happened to the fire-side chat!?!?!?!?

Conan

After 14 years, Conan O'Brien is done with the Late Show.
End of an era in my opinion.
Luckily, we'll see him take over for crumby Leno on the Tonight Show.
