Easter Monday?…..

My 2007 Jimi Hendrix calendar has the following dates highlighted for the Easter season this year: April 6 – Good Friday, April 8 – Easter Sunday, and April 9 – Easter Monday….. The first two I’ve known about all my life, but, What is Easter Monday?….. Has the bunny population got so out of hand […]

Happy New Year!…….

Somehow made it to 2007…… Hope everybody survived all the New Year celebrations and are recovering on this, the first day of the New Year…… I’m starting out with a new hard drive in my computer installed by none other than Jek, who was in for the holidays, got stranded a couple of extra days […]

SEASON’S GREETINGS

RtG would like to wish all of you a Happy Hannuka, a Super Solstice, a Quality Kwanza, a Healthy and Prosperous New Year and, if you’re inclined to celebrate that bogus birthday business, have a merry one.

Merry Christmas, etc., etc……..

Turkey and Gravy Soda — Just like Mom’s — Burp!

A couple of weeks ago, Tarn and I hosted a Jones Holiday Soda tasting party.  We had two soda packages from Jones: The 2005 Regional Pack and The 2006 Holiday Pack (9 sodas total), and we paired them with the real dishes. We also captured the tasting notes of various attendees.  Here they are for […]

Happy T-Day (Still Rainin’, Still Dreamin’)……

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone……. To borrow a phrase from Hendrix, It is still raining, but, there’s a strong Oklahoma wind mixed in with it……. I’m actually getting what I came for – rain and clouds…… Nice change from Oklahoma’s Sun, Sun, Sun….. Again, Happy T-Day…… Enjoy!……..

3 Night – Two Day B-Bash (Intro)

…….This doesn’t include pre-bash activities which included proper attire shopping, dining at Bourbon Street Cafe, and hitting the highlights of OKC (about 5 minutes on that one)…… Nor does the 3N-2D include all the journey’s home in four directions out of Austin on Monday….. The first night was the party mentioned by J.J. put on […]

Happy 4th of 2006…….

Have fun and don’t blow-up anything important (like your person or MRambler Central)……. Enjoy your “FREEDOM”!……..

All Fathers…..

……Have a good day…. eh?….. I know I will……. When your offspring gives you the “Bongo Fury” CD (Frank Zappa/Captain Beefheart), and a new super metal wallet for Father’s Day, ya know you musta done something right along the way…… And, yes, I am listening to Frankie and the Captain as I write this….. Hope […]

Memorial Day 2006

Heres wishing all of you a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend. If you are finding you and your families on the highways and byways this weekend be safe and remember that looby in front of you has a family also and most states enforce the death penalty for vehicular homicide. HaHaHa. (20,000 comedians out […]

April One Petition….

I hereby propose that we make “April Fool’s Day” a National holiday….. You can celebrate the “Fools” that are in political office, or the “Fools” that put them there….. I know this will cause problems with our current system of placing almost all of our National holidays on Mondays, but we could do away with […]

“Get your Kicks in 2006″……

“Hello, Hello, Hello, is there anybody out there?” Did we all make it to 2006? I did – I think?…… A toast to all and to a better year…… HAPPY NEW YEAR!…….. to all and to all a good night – time for some R&R…….

One last WELL, DUH! for 2005…….

This one you need to think about for a moment…… The Optimist thinks that this is the best of all possible worlds…….. The pessimist knows it…….. – J. Robert Oppenheimer, scientist So-o-o, you either go into 2006 thinking everything couldn’t be better, or everything’s going to Hell in a handbasket……. I’m short a handbasket……

New Years Rez…….

Not long until New Year’s……. Anyone out there made any New Year’s resolutions yet?……. With the trouble I’m having with certain posting protocols, I’m going to make a resolution to learn more about HTML……. Another one is doing more music……. Over the years, I have managed to write tons of lyrics and about the same […]

It’s Done, Done and Done……

I had an interesting Christmas day……. I had a visit from my brother, talked to my son a couple of times in Seattle……. Both nice things in themselves, but, I mostly spent the day in Too-Loose studios with a guitar, a mike, a Tascam US-122 interface and my laptop with Cubase SL recording/mixing program and […]
