Some great guitar work on Working Man's Blues - not the way Merle played it but that's not a complaint. 

I went with the grandson to the college the other night. We fiddled around with a couple of the welding machines, one an older Miller and one a brand new multi process Lincoln. I was familiar with the Millers, since that was what I was using when I worked there before, the Lincolns just came in this summer. I was able to figure out how to get it set up for E-6010 electrodes without much difficulty but I'll need to check out the manual or get some flying lessons to figure out what all it will do. Felt good to be out in the shop again - funny, but about half of the instructors are former students of mine.

Not sure about the Messiah coming, but that's something that's usually glossed over when the discussion turns to prepping. Having water, food and security are certainly important but the way things are going, might want to put a little effort into getting right with God. 

Roy Buchanan is probably the most under-rated guitar player ever. He had some serious issues with alcohol and ended up hanging from his shirt in a jail cell. It was ruled a suicide but there was some speculation that he was beaten while incarcerated.

When you have some time to kill, go to YouTube and type in a search for Roy Buchanan. Lots of great stuff will come up and you'll see his mastery on the guitar, and his versatility. The cut with Johhny Otis is a dandy - the video quality stinks but I would have loved to have been in the audience.

And for something completely different, Leon Redbone. The song was playing in an old Joan Crawford movie I watched the other day. I was humming it all day long - serious earworm. You've been warned.
