A Little Wake Up Music...!

Sometimes we need a little help in the mornings to get the old juices flowing...so, being the nice and helpful guy that I am, I am bringing you a little bit of music to gently nudge you into the waking world!

I only do this because I sometimes need a little push myself. I understand how it is...and I care! So while I get the coffee started, maybe you should listen to this little bit of wizardry that is guaranteed to rock your world...!



Now, my friends, the coffee is ready...so let's get a cup and sit outside for a bit, OK?

Grandpa Would Be Proud...!

I'll just bet that at one time or another, nearly all the country boys reading this had a harmonica!

If you didn't, maybe your grandpa or grandma did! I had many of them in my younger years and even while I was in the service. Small, easy to carry, cheap (at least back then) and if you practiced enough you could really make it sound good!

My Grandma King played one...and my Uncle Bill as well. Country folks that liked the sound of a little music on the front porch or in the parlor. Harmonica music seemed to go with just about anything, but was really a nice compliment to a guitar.

Now, a harmonica on the front porch or in the parlor is one thing, but can you imagine how far removed it seems from a place like Carnegie Hall? I mean, hundreds of folks all decked out in tuxedos and fancy dresses to hear some average looking man with a small little harmonica...sorta boggles the mind, doesn't it?

Well, this is no ordinary man! His name is Buddy Greene, and what he does with his little harmonica just proves that even folks in tuxedos and evening dresses can appreciate a true talent, and a well done treatment of a classical piece!



Who knows? There may be one or two people in the audience that had a harmonica when they were young, or who can remember grandpa or grandma or Uncle Bill playing one on the front porch or in the parlor!

Just goes to show that sometimes we are more alike than we may want to admit. Know what I mean? Of course you do...!

Now, my friend, let's get some fresh coffee and sit outside for a bit...and I'll play you a little ditty this morning.OK?

Taking The Morning Off....!

I'm taking the morning off, as I have several things I need to get straightened out in my head first.

I don't want to write something I'll be sorry for later, so instead I thought I would just start the week off with a little bit of music, OK? Hope you enjoy it...



Now, my friend...let's get some fresh coffee and sit quietly on the patio. I could use the company!

Taking Some Down Time...

Today I'm taking the time to play a little catch up...

I'm going to play the uke, break in my new cast iron skillet, bake some bread, can some more butter....and read a bit! Just going to take a little time to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet!

I'll come back later, probably tomorrow, all rested up and ready to deal with everything. I am leaving this video for your enjoyment, mainly because for some reason I can't get it out of my head. Only cure is to play it, I reckon...




Help yourself to the coffe, my friend! See ya later, OK?
