Dream
[migrated from myspace blog]
Last night I dreamt about carbeurator icing. I was flying with a student when we started losing altitude. By the time we got the engine to full throttle we were 50 feet above the ground, but not just about the ground, above the street. The buildings looked like a residential area of New York, like on the Cosby show, but of course the streets curved a lot, forcing us to constantly turn. I finally got smart and turned on the carbeurator heat just in time to keep us from getting to ground level, but I woke up before we started climbing again.

One time...

I overheard a guy in Meijer complaining that they didn't have any Elvis CDs. He was looking under "E". I guess he forgot that Elvis had a last name, too.

Music from before you were born
[migrated from myspace blog]
I've found it really interesting in the last few months to discover music I've heard before. I don't mean once or twice, but music that's been around my entire life and has been heard in movies, TV shows, commercials, classic rock radio, etc. The weird thing about "growing up with" the music is that hearing it so much prevents a person from realizing that some of it is really quite good. Yes, most of the same bands put out some music that makes it seem like they were just tring to pay their mortgage. I thought I'd never seek out music from bands like The Doobie Brothers, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Three Dog Night...but there's some seriously good music there.
On a whole different level is one of rock's greatest showmen, Jerry Lee Lewis. I guarantee you've never heard a 71-year-old burn up a keyboard the way he still can. You own it to yourself to spend the 99 cents to download Rock and Roll with Jerry on Balwin piano and Jimmy Page on that legendary Les Paul.

(Note that when this picure was taken, these guys were already covering Chuck Berry tunes, so who's the father of Rock 'n Roll?)

Sword Fight Ensues After S.C. Break-In
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — A man toting a 3-foot sword apparently met his match when he broke into his ex-girlfriend's apartment: The woman's roommate grabbed a sword of his own and sliced the intruder, police said.
The roommate, a sword collector, fended off the ex-boyfriend, who was cut on the arm, police said.
Elvis Javier Polanco, 18, was treated at a hospital and charged with burglary and aggravated assault, Beaufort County sheriff's Capt. Toby McSwain said. He said Polanco broke a window and climbed on his friend's shoulders to get into the apartment.
The roommate, Louis Delgado Hernandez, disarmed the intruder while the woman called police, McSwain said.
