Thursday Musical

Another Sly and the Family Stone - only seems fitting since it was a hot one yesterday.

It didn't actually make it to 100 plus, but it did hit 90. You always have to take in account the thermometer is in the direct sun. I was doing some outside stuff and worked up a pretty good sweat all the same. It always takes me a while to get acclimated to the heat and it looks like I'm going to get my chance. They're forecasting temps in the mid to high eighties for the next week or so.

Brian Wilson passed away. Like Sly Stone, he too was 82. I never really gave it any thought as to the age of the musicians of my youth. Both of these guys were only 6 years older than me and I was listening to their music when I was in high school.

The Rooftop Singers were basically a one hit wonder. I hadn't heard this one in quite a while, but I did hear the original 1929 version the other day. I definitely like The Rooftop Singers version better.

Surly came by the house the other night while on a shake-down run after doing some upgrades on the bike. Good looking bike. And, keeping with the theme, this scoot makes some beautiful music. While he was here he got the new toilet out of the truck and into the house for me. Saved me calling someone for help or tackling the job myself and hurting the chest muscles again. Nice to have people.
