Muhammad Ali said I am the Greatest, however, that was before he met me.

About Me

Music today courtesy of The Dramatics, & so it is. There are a number of videos in "my favorite videos" if you wish to look. ................................ ATTENTION: If I don't already know you, & you send me a friend request, if you expect me to EVEN consider accepting, then send a note along with the request. The note can be absolutely mercenary, if you wish, but still, a note. I'm not here to "collect" random friends............................................... I don't have tattooes, piercings, or a Harley, I decided I'd have a real personality instead. No particular bias implied, other than your chance of winning the lottery is better than the chance that we'd EVER make babies together; this is especially true if you're a male. But, friends or whatever is fine. Bawn & bred in de briar patch of West End, Atlanta, now residing in Hillbillyville, Tn. Guitarist & Vocalist, professionally & otherwise, since God knows when. Love singing tunes with harmony. ACBL & ABTA certified contract bridge teacher & play professionally as well. .. or face-to-face lessons, private or group. There, I surely needed something mercenary in here. Oh, & visit my music store, not listed here yet but coming whenever I get around to it, specialize in VINTAGE vinyl(yeah, those round analog record thingies), posters, & VINTAGE GUITARS & AMPS, other swell & quirky stuff. MELON HEAD'S MUSIC, since 1988 in Chattanooga. Now on voip phone service, ask if you'd like the number or have me call you, or for the email, whatever. And, I have free phone service to all of North America AND Western Europe, so, can arrange to call you on my nickel. More mercenary. Oh, 1/4 my blood Cherokee/Seminole, they left North Georgia for Florida & never surrendered. The rest Celtic. & it's all Jahaveh's blood, after all. Since we have a space for heroes, I think it'd be nice to have a space for anti-heroes, or, despicables. So I could add people who hate Americans(ESPECIALLY the Americans who do), people who publicly hate their own race, WHATEVER that race may be(this seems to be mainly a quirk of some caucasians), The ACLU(like most commie groups, their title is the antithesis of their goal, other examples, People for the American Way & PETA), & last, but not least, popstar politicos such as Babs Streisand(need I say more?), Linda Rondstadt(don't worry, dear, I'll never bum U out by being at one of your "concerts", & have never owned a record by U, anyway), Dixie Chicks(Yo, Nat, there is nothing "courageous", as the lefty press would spin it, about your comments in England, they were just insipid & uncouth, just like your looks & your bleached hair, & most obviously, your being a guiding light in matters political), Bono(Bozo would be more appropo), Bob Geldoff, Jello(The Joke) Biafra, that tattooed Jolie woman & her most recent hubby, Pam(plastic, even the brain & soul) Anderson, unfortunately John Lennon("Imagine" one of the creepiest songs, & the music was so lame, too), Henry Rollins(lol, U joke), another unfortunately is Neil Young(why don't you write some tunes about your POLICE STATE home country? Where murdering pedophiles filmed on tape don't even get the death penalty but a man or woman who believes in the God-given right of self defense is put thru hell in YOUR "legal" system. You have plenty to take care of in the Great White North.), & on & on. Their vanity, pomposity & selfrighteousness is hysterical. I think they all missed their calling as stand-up comedians. I tolerate ignorant people reasonably well, but, I have increasingly less tolerance for educated fools. ..

My Interests

playing music & singing, bridge, target shooting(yes, that does mean FIREARMS), fishing, ping pong, badminton, other stuff.

I'd like to meet:

Old friends I've lost touch with, including old music store customers & employees. New friends that are nice. New friends that are nice & want to either acquire stuff from my store or hire me for bridge, even better. Single, but, let's just say, I ain't particularly looking. I'm Not really pursuing playing music right now, but, that could always change at any minute.As for those who have left this flesh body, Paul of Tarsus & Thomas Jefferson immediately come to mind. Lemme think... Nathan Bedford Forrest, Judas Iscariot(I think he is so misunderstood, but, so is Paul), Gustav Mahler(loved his wife passionately & loved nature & drinkin' a little booze & wrote such beautiful music, a kind but very passionate & faithful spirit, I like that), John Donne, Generals Patton & Pershing & Erwin Rommel & MacArthur, surely Sam Clemens, some early bridge heroes(note me if U want their names).

Music:

Despise rap(shouldn't even be allowed in music category, shouldn't be allowed, period) & hiphop(borderline for music,lol). Hank Williams, Gram Parsons, Muddy Waters, Beatles, Stones, Who, Hendrix, Kinks, Carl Perkins, The Killer, Albert King, Moby Grape, Walter Donaldson, Chet Baker, Nat King Cole Trio, postwar Billie Holiday(not fond of prewar that the critics so love), Carly Simon(when she does songs she didn't write,lol,)Patsy Cline, Dan Penn, Gladys Knight(not always fond of the hits, but, always some good album cuts, & just luv homegirl's voice), Milton Brown(no page here, unbelievable) Madeleine Peyroux, Al Green, Mahler, Beethoven, Debussy, Chopin, Rimski-Korsakov, this list could go on & on & maybe it should...

Movies:

Sooo many. Comedies, horror, suspense, film noir, whatever. Like Hitchcock & anything that Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer & that bunch have done, ie, Spinal Tap, Best in Show, Waiting For Guffman, etc. Marx Brothers. Oh, enjoy all of Bobby Rodriguez' movies as well. Check out his highly undiscovered "Road Racers", has the best rockabilly soundtrack ever done.

Television:

South Park, Shepherd's Chapel, Andy Griffith, Beverly Hillbillies, classic Warner Bros cartoons. BTW, write Ted Turner & tell him what a jerk he is for altering the Warners cartoons.

Books:

by author: Tommy Wolfe(no page here, I am mortified), Billy Faulkner, Sammy Clemens, Oscar Wilde, etc. & Jahaveh, our father, who, by his hand, inspired our human pals to pen the bible.

Heroes:

Some of my music store customers who overcame being brainwashed left wingers(yes, that means ANY democrat, whether just a minion,Lenin called them "useful idiots", or, someone who really thinks they're a commie). I love overcomers.

Paula White, Major Harbinger of the Antichrist?

I'm not sure that I've ever experienced someone as repulsive as this.  She appears to be reaping multitudes for the harvest of the antichrist.

Steve Spurrier & the Gamecocks

Aaah yes, I love Steve Spurrier, one of the most talented coaches who's ever lived, & yet, these heathen Tennesseans with whom I've been associated with for many years now just hate him, & he ...

Aah...I unsubscribed from Doc Man Jay's blog & I've never felt better!

Here we are in this somewhat unreal world of cyberspace, yet, we have so many potential megalomaniacs.  Humans are such a sad lot.  I do mean that with sorrow, not sarcasm.  It really d...

Jimmy Carter Has a Lotta Nerve!

First off, I am no fan of neoconservatives(or RINO's if you will, ie, Republican In Name Only).  Neocons are no different than any Democrat, they just wish to make our slide into a one-world, com...

The Fascist Beat Goes On...People of France?

I felt rather confident predicting that France would be the last country of Western Europe to fall to this nanny-state non-smoking hogwash.  Ouch, ouch, ouch, I guess I was wrong.  Whomever ...
