I WILL be heading to El Portal tomorrow morning, after all. Dean just returned my call, so looks like it's the Super Bowl in the mountains for me.
Adieu from Middle Earth. Peace. Out.

Nice show Mr Mouse,
Way to to keep the way back machine rolling along.
Cool Boodawg rendition of 'Sweet Betsy from Pike' as well. What was that I heard out in the yard last night? Think I woke up with a lump on my head. Hey, now I remember...
(Warbling memory music and heat wavy visual)
To be continued...

A bit premature with the GOOd-bYe, as I'm climbing a mountain of dirty laundry, about a year's worth (or more?).
It's tough to Sherpa loads and loads up the stairs, down the stairs. When the elevator was shut down, and I was not really into exertion doing NOn-eSSENTIALS like laundry, saving my breath, as it were, I let it pile up like pigeon dung on a window ledge.
All those free laundry baskets from the High Schoolers delivering turkeys and TG foodstuffs proved a BOON. I had FIVE FULL LOADS! The price per has gone up a quarter, too, since I stopped doing what I toldja 'bout.
Dirty pool, because I went down there with the first full laundry basket, expecting to pay the old price, but had to return to the crib to get more quarters, decided then and there to do all the loads simultaneously.
This means a minimal investment of time, cutting out trips in between loads--it's a laundry marathon that way, and this way it's an all-in effort and over faster, kinda like pulling a band-aid or a scab.
I never cottoned to laundry. I have to go and pull the items from the washers and put them in the dryers now.

Don Henley - All she wants to do is dance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYxMQjcs4wo
This great song was written by Danny Kortchmar and was a HUGE commercial success for Don. It TRUMPED all his earlier efforts.
It was released as the second single from Henley's second studio solo album, Building the Perfect Beast, being Henley's sixth single.
John Leland from Spin magazine wrote about the 12-inch single version of the song saying "...this mother whomps from the git with punchy electronic drums and a mix that keeps one foot off the ground for a full seven-and-a-half minutes. Henley's post-hedonist vision of apocalypse is twisted".--WP
There were three dryer loads from five ma-cheens at a buck each, plus $7.50 for the wa-sheen, that's $10.50 for the laundry.
If you care.
I care.
That's all I care about.
I don't care what you care about.
I do care--enough to tell you.
More or less.
So there.
Let's dance.

I wonder who has the naming/concession rights to all those places?
All that clean laundry is gonna make a man hungry for some of that Kidney Stew.

Thanks for posting that.
There's a Cleanhead in the house.
Foist hoid of Eddie in 12th grade from Larry "Scuz" Jones, who got turned on to the blues and hipped me to the PBBB, Rob't Johnson, Cleanhead, PineTop, etc.
Always time to listen to Eddie--and the laundry can sit for a while and cool.

So, one of Millis' favorite and best and cleanest jokes was the one about the couple who called having sex "doing the laundry."
One night she asked him would he like to do the laundry and he replied to his bride that he was too tired and that he would just do a load by hand.
Thank you, Dillis Millis, wherever you are.

JERUSALEM: Prehistoric cave-dwellers enjoyed munching on tortoises roasted in their shells as an appetiser or side dish, Ran Barkai, an archaeologist at Tel Aviv University, said on Tuesday.
Sure hope we don't fall off.

fahey's of rivers and religion album lives atop my vinyl heap
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNYghC7RjGY&list=PLKiEBsOXrNf5WWQx4lZ1feOsarAyNlFLJ&index=1
excerpt from liner notes:
As it turned out, the embellishments were very much on the low-key side on this mixture of Fahey compositions and traditional tunes. Fahey's expressive guitar lines, adept at both delicate picking and swooping slides, were still very much at the forefront on about half the pieces, such as "Steamboat Gwine 'Round de Bend" and "Funeral Song for Mississippi John Hurt." It was on "Dixie Pig Bar-B-Q Blues," "Texas Pacific Blues," and "Lord Have Mercy" that the New Orleans jazz vets added a Dixieland/riverboat flavor that was rather more lighthearted than Fahey's usual somber, placid soundscapes. Like all of Fahey's best recordings, it was music of reflection and subtleties that took patient listening to fully absorb; as Darrow notes, "I remember the first time I ever heard [Fahey], I thought they'd turned the record from 45 to 33 or something, 'cause I couldn't believe how slow he played."
For all its old-time feel, Of Rivers and Religion "wasn't an attempt to make a 78, like something maybe R. Crumb would have done," explains Darrow. "It was an attempt to make an LP with the essence of the old stuff, with the technology of the new stuff, and still incorporating his particular style of playing. It wasn't about flash. It was more about style and tempo."

HEY NEEBS! I'm never sure that I should go here, addressing you directly,
you know, you often hit to close to home for me to feel comfortable ....
but then you hit the piton right and it rings so true ...
I, or, one, just knows that it is a solid placement.
I started climbing placing pins and never carried more than a few,
'Old skool' was to place as few as possible, only when absolutely needed
they were heavy and indispensable at belays to make the whole climb survivable.
I Never wanted to give up banging iron and I never will stop climbing
so,
I learned to hear what a good placement sounded like
and also what was not so good,
or bad,
those, the bad, would need to be swapped out and a new protection point concocted ...
As for pianos and painting and creating. . .
I've been holding back,
not posting to the threads that sing your praises
but here in Flames
Im all ways happy to see what you have to say
and now I am glad I saved these,
The one on top and this....luv ya all....
