Austro Daimler Bike and a little Rachmaninov...

The sun is just peeking through the clouds so I'll keep this short. Nearly time to go to the garden and do some work in the dirt!

I was looking through the local craigslist bike ads as I often do and ran across an interesting ad.

"I'm selling my 1970's Austro Daimler Vent Noir II. All original parts including the gold gears.…

Groovechamber

Groovechamber is a graphics art, animation and film making company "In a country called Canada". That's from their FAQ. They do some absolutely amazing animations and games, and the music accompanying is fun, too. I keep thinking of them, then forgetting their name and losing contact with the site.

It's fun to watch "Field Guide to Snapping" and "…

Black as the night [Nahko Bear]

Here's an original tune by Nahko. I love the way the Nahko's voice soars up and down several octaves. His guitar tuning beckons me to try it out. Transcribe the lyrics and just play it, because it keeps ringing in my ears days after I first heard it. 

If you can't see the video, just click…

Hop High - A Mountain song played by two artists

Here's a mountain song you'll love. The first link is a version by Dirk Powell on YouTube. I like the music/singing on this one best and it includes lyrics. The second link is an artist named Luke Abbott who sings the same song and plays it on the guitar.  Luke Abbott is such an excellent guitar player, in his attic! I am certain it only looks easy when Luke plays it. I bet it would sound great on a charango. If you look at the comments,…

A Great Day at McRorie Community Garden

A Great Day at The Garden

Yes, it's that time of year in this brilliant place, Florida. You know what I mean. If you live anywhere that has citrus, you are fully aware of this phenomenon. It's called Spring. 

 

I can remember excitedly telling people that March is the best month to visit Florida. People in California, for example. Funny. People in Chile. Even more…

Last Steam Engine Train



Leo Kottke plays his Bozo guitar. That's "Bō-zhō" as in Bozo Podonovic, a luthier from Serbia now living in the US. Leo has been playing many years, all over the world. People say he does impossible things on the guitar. If you look closely, you'll see much of this tune revolves around the C Maj chord. Look… Continue

Yet another use for hemp...twine! Plus, some music from Benin



So, you might ask yourself "What's all this about? I see cork grips, hemp twine, shellac, and I'm hearing music from Beini..." And, you might really like that rhythm from Africa. Hope so. Why cork grips? Well, they are comfortable and they look good. Why twine? It's functional and looks good, too. And, shellac: what's the deal with the shellac? It protects the cork and… Continue

On Not Smoking Anymore...

Quitting smoking or anything is tough...

Isaac Pierce of Ten Speed Music (dot com)

Novocaine, it still hurts to laugh

One less dream I'll have to have

This household mirror has seen a hundred years

It's watching us walk down the stairs

For the last, for the first

And for the last, for the first

For the first, for the last

And for the last, for the first time

With a long neck and a short rope

We're climbing the radio tower

With…
