What’s On Our
Minds: |
|
 |
Ralph -
A
friend recently gave me a copy of "The Complete Beatles
Chronicle.” My wife Valerie is reading it ahead of me
and last night she dug out the Sgt. Peppers, Rubber Soul
and Magical Mystery Tour albums. I never realized how
much they did with a Leslie. Great hot tub music.

Dwight -
The PBS affiliate in Knoxville, WETP/WKOP,
has a wonderful show for anyone interested in the roots
music of East Tennessee and surrounds. "Tennessee
Saturday Night" is produced with WDVX-FM 89.9
(www.wdvx.com), a public radio station in Knoxville
that has an exceptional array of musical programming.

Michael -
Recently, I read that The Institute of
Astronomy in Cambridge discovered a black hole that’s
singing a bass note – humming B flat – and has been
doing so for billions of years. The pitch is 57 octaves
below middle C. Perhaps the “Lost Chord” of Creation is
out there waiting for us to discover it.

Willi -I'm
enjoying my
new Yamaha 650cc V-star classic
motorcycle. I
recently bought some leather chaps and tricked the bike
out with a windshield, engine guard and some bags.
Continuing in the amerikanconsumerreligion vein, I now
ask myself WWED: what would Elvis do?
My favorite author
at the moment is Anne Lamott, (Traveling Mercies,
Bird by Bird). Check her out. |

Butcho - Been thinkin' about attending the Big Pig Jig
in Vi-anna. (That's
Vienna, Georgia for all you who are ethno-challenged.)
Looks like great fun. I've got
to see and smell that many people cooking BBQ in one
place. My goal is to be a
judge at the contest -- hey, people wanting you to eat
the best food in the world for
free! Past contest winners are "Pig Pounda Kappa," "Hog
Rock Cafe", and the "Squealer
Dealers." |

Lights, Big City" by Jimmy Reed, "Pick Up The Pieces" by

Dwight - I'm at least six CDs behind,
thanks to a local CD store's going-out-of-business sale.
