Hanging on by a thread! The economy is still kicking my ass hard, thanks for the well wishes.

A nice set, even though "Champagne and Wine" didn't make the cut... :(

Could there have been an Otis Redding without Al Jackson's pounding snare? He was the engine that pushed it all along, that snare tuned lower than John Bonham's. This song is a great example of that.

I'm glad the summer is just about over, I'll tell you that. I'm going to withhold coming to any conclusions about healthcare until I see this all shake out on the next few weeks. All I know is there better be coverage for those without money. I don't think I'll ever get over seeing the media convince people they don't need healthcare or that this is all about insurance companies caring about Americans freedom to overpay and be denied coverage. Hope is all well with you and your family.

Yeah. I find it all very disheartening - depressing - disturbing. Rove and the low lives are chewing on our throats. They don't respect us and hopefully the group of people stupid enough to fall for their crap is shrinking down to the looniest loons. I was hoping they would bring guns and shoot each other. It's not too late.

We are doing fine - my daughter and I painted the entire basement. There is plenty to keep me busy!

I hope your mom is well and that you are having fun and things get better and better!

The violence going on out there disturbs me, it's an indication there's some serious breakdowns of society going on, the flame being fanned by the likes of Glenn Beck and his crowd of fringe lunatics. All you need to do is remember what happened to the Morton Downey Jr's and Wally George's of the world, the same will eventually happen to them.

Glad you and your daughter are getting along. I hope life gets better, but I'm going to try and not worry about it as much.

Yeow, nice post. I'd forgotten how young he was.

After I'd read about the anniversary of his birth, I went to Wikipedia to check the math and couldn't believe it. Maybe that he started out so young gives that impression, plus the fact he worked his ass off. Back then, it wasn't unusual to do more than one show a day.
