YEAH!

With thanks to Jamie and the help of my pal Jesse I've been able to bring to you
The Gauchos!!


There are so many cool things about this video that I just don't know where to begin...
First and foremost the little girl singer. Amazing with that hair and the head banging. She plays some inspired air guitar and occasionally looks up at her big brother as if completely mesmerized. Suddenly taking a break on the bunk bed like she's slipped back stage for a hit of pure oxygen! Then back up to the front. She's Possessed!
Big brother guitarist-- Incredible guitar playing for a buck as young as he. Really shredding the solos AND singing!
I hope I look as good playing bass as the bass playing little brother! He totally has the moves DOWN! Throwing his hand off the neck when he hits an open string! And the Pokemon on his mic. AND t-shirt. Real stylie! Flashing the devil horns to his brother when the song ends. Fuck Yea!
And last but not the least that drummer boy in the back. Great job holding down the beat boy!
Man if I had kids...Those would SO be my kids! I would be the stage mom. Forcing them to practice Iron Maiden songs in their bedroom with bad wall paper until 2 in the morning. The neighbors would hate us.
Maybe I should reconsider before it's too late..

GGGGRRRRRRR

I've been trying to post several different You Tube videos for DAYS now! I can't get one of them to show up on my 'new blogger' format. I hate that when they FORCE you to 'update' the format and then nothing ever works the same!
If anyone has any ideas please throw them my way!!
I'm sufferin' over here.

JEALOUSY

Back in my 'Hazy' days we played with this band called 'Sistas in the Pit'. As confirmed by this flyer from a show we did.

I just read that they'll be opening for the Stooges reunion tour!!! Oh JEALOUSY!!! These girls are real good tho' AND very nice! Hit the link for some HOT Sista rocknroll.

On another note....If I was tech savvy I might have been able to get this to my blog but alas...I'm with stoopid. Click on this link for a priceless moment between mother and teenage son. I can't help but think with most of my friends the opposite will be true. Take heed my parenting pals...

And thanks Nat. for that link!

Know Your Blessings When You're Sick

I haven't posted in several days. And I just don't know where to begin.
Right now I'm home recouperating from the NASTIEST sinus infection I can remember. My head feels like a block of wood with nails being hammered into it. Unpleasant. Not a blessing.
Two weekends ago my lovely pal Cassie came for a visit from Chicago. This was most definately a blessing as Cassie is one of the most wonderful and talented people I've ever known and worked with (She was the singer for 3 bands we were in together). We spent time up in Sonoma wine tasting for a friends 40th birthday. Did it always cost $ to go wine tasting? If I'm going to shell out $$ to taste wine they better give me more than a sip. Come on people! Get thee heavy handed!
Work has been slow in picking up. I suppose since I'm sick anyway I should feel blessed that we have some extra money stowed away from our recent refinance. Although we did want to use it for rebuilding our front foundation. Oh well, gotta flow....
My little sis. announced that she's going to get hitched to her cute boyfriend. And that her engagement is going to be LLOOOONNNGGG. Which I always think is a grand idea. Blessing.
My Bio. mom (mother of engaged sis.) is coming for a visit on Wednesday. As usual it'll be wonderful to see her. We always have the best time with her. She is our undisputed queen of generosity. She is one of my best blessings! I am always grateful for her.

I suppose I'm in this mood because I feel so SHITTY. It makes me feel a little better to give a holla out to the good things I have.
