“Bridge of Sighs” - I grew up on that. Awesomeness…

“Shine on You Crazy Diamond” The major key. The key changes. The lyrics. Everything… It just hits. Deep… so many Floyd songs are over played. Not this one. If you’re not high when you listen, you want to be. If you’re high when you listen, you want to be higher. It’s perfect. This is on my...

There are other “rigs” in storage, but this is what is currently available in Madison Spare Bedroom. What’s not visible on the other side of the room is the recording desk with a couple of Eleven Rack’s , some interfaces and the Pro Tools DAW…

“Hallelujah”. The original. I have a portion of the chart on a tattoo. It’s just shy of perfection. I cringe when I hear it covered because it invariably sucks. It pains me (really pains me 😆) to say that Bon Jovi did it justice in a semi-unplugged setting. It brings the feels…

Not sure if serious, but both of those have merit in the right circumstances and/or in the right frame of mind.

“Children of the Grave”. The outro - especially as a weed-addled teen in my formative years - was fucking spooky 😆

“Diary of a Madman”… The classical root that builds to a Gibson/Marshall onslaught. Never grows old…

Eagles… Damn, what a catalog to choose from. As a group or solo contributions. Solid choice. “I Can’t Tell You Why”, “New York Minute”. So much to choose from.

So, what songs, regardless of genre, hold importance to you? No need to explain why - unless you feel the need. I have several, but “My Father’s Gun” holds a spot. What say you?

Awesome

Not too bad…

I have some dough resting for French bread. I don’t bake… I don’t gel with the accuracy and precision required. Accuracy and precision in the shop for automotive pursuits? Yep. But baking pisses me off. I have roasts ready for the crock pot tomorrow, so homemade bread would be 😍. If it turns out...

Two days later and multiple roads still blocked with downed transmission lines. They’ve been working non-stop, but there’s a lot of cleanup to do. Nowhere near the same threat level, but storms - some rotating - are in the forecast for 10 PM to 3 AM. Then, 2-4 more inches of rain through Sunday...

Shit hit the fan… The home where we live got slammed by straight line winds, but no damage and power is up. Almost couldn’t get to the “home office” house this morning. Major power lines and trees down blocking roads, etc. No noticeable damage but need to head back when the sun comes up…

Shit be brewing,.. It’s warmed up 30 degrees since 4:00 AM, it’s humid, the sky has cleared enough from early morning storms to start to destabilize things, there’s been a steady 20+ MPH wind all day (with gusts to 40). I think (hope) it will setup south of central IN, but it sure looks like...

Tomorrow is looking pretty energetic. Plenty of time for things to shift, but the forecasts have been aligned for 24+ hours at this point. Time will tell…

Yesterday was a bust. Not that I’m hoping for severe weather, but it set up well south of central IN. We had some minor wind and pea-sized hail. Average spring thunderstorm stuff. Wednesday looks interesting…

Things are starting to ramp up for tomorrow. Multiple rounds, some after dark, which is not ideal…

Anyone else have a deep interest in severe weather? I was 3 years old and as a resident of central Indiana, I vividly remember the Palm Sunday tornado outbreak in 1965 (you do the math…). And the super outbreak of 1974. A few years ago, a tornado dropped a half mile from the house where we live...

Probably shared this before, but since we’re listing relatives, my dad (we weren’t close, alcoholic, died just after I graduated HS, long story) was in the Army Air Force as a right wing gunner on a B-29 in WWII, 315th Bomb Wing, flying out of Andersen AB. Never talked about it. (His older...
