What am I going to do…take the blame?

Written by | Posted on

Greetings from lovely Bellefont, KS. My little vacation from the dull drudgery of workaday tidal waves should include some songwriting, soul-searching, and plotting, not to mention some good old fashioned farmer-engineering. Had an interesting show Saturday night. While I think it went well, there were few people there. This was due to, I believe, advertising […]

T’Pol’s new hair cut and uniforms kick ass…the new security crew also is quite impressive. I talked to Julie for quite some time tonight…just like old times sitting on the porch and […]

I watched in awe tonight as Trevor told one of the Stragglers tonight on the phone that they should buy my CD and from where it was available. Pete was gambling with Jason and the Stragglers in KC tonight and they were calling Burgess every five minutes. It was a site to see. All this […]

Yes, folks…that’s right….I have no hair left. None to speak of, anyway. Dawn cut all of my hair. Pete had a good show last night. I didn’t get off the tractor at home until 7:30…had a few things to do including drive 3.5 hours back to Manhattan…didn’t make it to Rusty’s until 12:30. Still, the […]
