Righteous Tunes

My tastes in music are pretty scattered, I prefer real music, even homemade music to the sanitized and polished for your protection stuff that plays on today's pop & country radio.    "New wave Nashville�s on the juke turns my gut..     fixin' to puke I bet Hank Williams is spinning in his grave this western glamour�s full of Philistines churning out false prophets.. slave to the machine...  " - Whamo

Barry, Lance, & I setting up camp at landrush for Kerrville '99. Our camp for '00,01 & '02 was  in exactly the same spot.- This year under a 30' x 60'  blue tarp-

I don't play much anymore, but I still own a tele or two & several drums for when the muse strikes me. I built the djembe at Kerrville '00 under the direction of Stan the drum man.
