A few small things...
Jun. 10th, 2012 01:33 pmIt's 98F outside. I'm very glad I had my bike ride this morning, when it was only 85F.
Roasting chickens were cheap at the ACME supermarket this weekend, $.79/lb, limit two. Also large eggs, $.99, limit one. On my way back from my bike ride, I stopped in and bought two chickens and a dozen eggs. And nothing else! Go me.
I spent a bit of the afternoon Google-stalking Tommy Emmanuel yesterday. I found one bit in an interview that made me giggle. He and his brother discovered Chet Atkins when they were young, and were sure that the Great and All Powerful Chet would never use a cheater, aka a capo. So they struggled with Windy & Warm in c-minor, which is an epic struggle I can't even contemplate. Fast-forward to 1980 when Emmanuel finally met Atkins and they were playing together. Emmanuel suggested W&W and The Great and All Powerful Chet said, fine, capo up to the third fret.
Gotcha. So I played Windy & Warm with my capo on the third fret, too, yesterday and again today. So there. Linda Cohen is probably rolling over in her grave, but too bad for her.
I wasn't careful and I have blisters on my fingertips. Too bad for me.
