The New Coffee Room

The last time I went into a Taco Bell was circa '98. Mike Collins and I had to drive over an hour at the asscrack of dawn to take the SATs. When we got done, we went to a Taco Bell. There was freaking hair in my burrito. I pointed this out, and they made another one, then threw it at me. Dumbshit missed, too.

My wife's a fan occasionally but I refuse to lift the embargo.

Maybe I should buy a house in the smokies.

I had one that id have sold you, but unfortunately it burned to the ground a few years back in the big fire.

Ever thought about a getaway cabin? Something a little remote (although I don't know if you can do that in the Smokies anymore) and just big enough for the two of you?

Yes, you can still build cabins, in the areas where lots are sold. Mine was just outside of Pigeon Forge, the best I remember around 2 000 square feet, and very remote. Huge view off the back balcony. It burned down in the big fire a few years ago. I sold the lot, took the insurance money, and built one in Coker Creek, near the Cherohala, which is a whole different area from Pigeon Forge. The plus to being near Pigeon Forge is the commercial activity so close. The plus to the one in Cherohala is its near some of the family...

My mom and dad knocked around that part of the country a pretty good bit. I remember when Pigeon Forge wasn't much more than a wide spot in the road...

Pinching a bloke's song and then refusing to pay for it isn't good, however well he sings it.

George Harrison wept.

So did Vanilla Ice.

I first heard Robert Randolph about 20 years ago. He was getting a lot of airplay on a local not for profit radio station here, CKUA. His playing completely blew me away then and continues to do so now. I have a few of his albums.

Randolph, Greg Leisz and the late Sneaky Pete Kleinow (Flying Burrito Brothers) are in a whole different class of pedal steel players.

In a couple of hundred years they'll probably be extinct...

CRISPR is here to make sure that doesn't happen.

Lol

Lots of (cheap) Scotch everywhere.

ETA: and to my kids.

Glad you're better now, Larry.

A few weeks ago, I stubbed my pinky toe, and it hurt for a few days.

But I'm better now too.

Don't any of you guys carry pocket knives?😒

Sounds like a great guy, Larry.

I am pretty sure someone posted here:

"Most modern day orchestras are nothing more than 1700's-1800's cover bands!"

But yes, music does evolve.

US country music 1950's is very different from 2010's country music. Does that make one country music and the other not country music? Ummmm, probably not.

For most people (of course not every one), the ages from maybe 10-30 set your musical tastes and personal understanding of what a certain "genre" if music should sound like.

@larry
That's the music I grew up hearing. Though I never knew his name, his work is exactly what I think of for piano in country music. Thank you for sharing this, and may he continue to play his music with the angels.

Ok....the REAL story......

Yesterday I stopped by the grocery store. I got lucky and found a parking spot at the very end of a row, right next to an entrance. Since we only needed a loaf of bread, Sarah waited in the car. As I was getting out of the car I farted. Sarah laughed, so I decided to get even by releasing the whole thing while I still had my butt inside the car. I let it fly, finished getting out of the car and shut the car door.....

Then I noticed this big fat girl walking toward me trying her best but failing miserably to not let me see that she had heard everything, and was laughing her ass off....

When you get old you can get away with stuff like that.....
