If I could get that feeling back, I'd give up everything I own...

About Me

(Okay, this is a somewhat dated pic, but it's all I have right now. Make of it what you will.) I'm too old to be this young, and too young to be this old. Such a conundrum! Never quite fit into this world, always a little bit off-center, just a bit askew. Seen marvelously good times and horrendously bad times. Had wonderful friends and back-stabbers, lenders and money grabbers. I've been over the moon, down the drain, let down, lifted up, bottomed out, 'round the bend, higher than a kite and so low the bottom looked like up to me. I've been down the rabbit hole, back through the looking glass, washed up, washed out, spin-cycled, dried out, left and right, right and wrong, played around, played the clown, over the hill, head-over-heels, in the gutter and landed on my feet. I suppose my life has been a living yin-yang, but I'm a Libra, so I guess that makes some kind of sense. In fact, if you understand the ping-pong-n-yo-yo-at-the-same-time effect, you get it. (Will add more later - I should write a book.) I'll keep changing songs on my page, b/c there are so many I love...keep on comin' back for a different tune... stars layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com

My Interests

This page is not made up exclusively of videos, but when I found these, I had to have 'em! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do:Procol Harum (1969) The "original" lineup. That's Robin Trower on guitar and the great Matthew Fisher on organ. Gary Brooker on vox and piano and musical composition (all lyrics by the inimitable Keith Reid):And one more (1972) The late, great B J Wilson on drums in both videos here:And here's a tribute to the late, great, enigmatic genius, Arthur Lee, leader of Love:And this is just too good to miss! 1991 / Friends in Time by The Golden Horde w Maria McKee! So kitschey you gotta love it!In my never-ending search for yet another guitar amp, I found this kid. He's got good taste, and I love it! There is hope for music in the future!!

Heroes:

My heroes are those who have the strength and intelligence to stand up for what they believe in, no matter the consequences. Those who know how to think, question, consider and arrive at their own conclusions...to have an original thought. Question authority and beware of those who know everything! Every politician who ever had the guts to tell it like it is and never were elected, because they wouldn't bow to the shame of trying to please everyone or be bought by special interest groups. This is supposed to be a government of the people. When did we get robbed of that??!! The people shouldn't be afraid of the government - the government should be afraid of the people!! Turn it up loud tonight and play it proud. You ain't gonna be here forever. Make a difference while you are here!
