Singing the Blues

 


This one came out a while back but it seems like it was written for the times we're living in today. This is a cut on a CD I listen to every once in a while as the mood strikes me.


This one was up at Tacky Raccoons yesterday. Never heard of this group before, but this one is a rocker! And of course, I can relate to the too tired thing - kind of a common theme around here.


I came in the house after mowing the backyard and walking the dog and the Ira Hayes story was on TCM. It was about half over, so I took a pass, but the song became stuck in my head. The Kinky Friedman video is about 10 minutes long, but the song is the first 5. The remainder is an interview that's worth watching. Especially since includes his words of wisdom to all of us: "Find what you like and let it kill you."

I've got a couple things coming to finish the rear brake set-up on the trials bike - clevises, bushing and a turnbuckle. Since the brake rod will be only used under tension, I'm planning on making it out of aluminum. Not sure as I write this if I have a piece of stock in-house. Just one of the reasons I should be organizing and inventorying things.
