Okay, guys, here’s the thing. I have no video recordings since Phyllis can’t figure out how to get it from her camera to the Web. I do have the sound recordings, and although I’d like to put them all up here, I just can’t. Too many MB’s.
So, I couldn’t figure out how to get them [...]

Recordings Coming Up

Don’t know if you guys are interested, but Bryan finally came through with the recordings to the show we did on the 10th at the Vampyre Club in Dallas. I think I’ve figured out a way to get them online for you to listen to them. Give me a day, two at most, and I’ll [...]

About The Husband:
OK, here’s the thing. I’m still alive and that’s a huge plus. The husband got back from his company trip and had to immediately turn around and fly to Atlanta for his cousin’s wife’s funeral. This gave me an additional two days to think about things.
When the husband got back home Sunday morning, [...]

The husband went out of town for a couple of days to some special ops testing thingy which I’m not at liberty to discuss on account it is classified and all that rot. But that’s not what this post is about. It is about what I did while the husband was away.
I have my good [...]

So my biological father and his bitch wife, the wicked witch of the east, are coming to visit. To me, this is news from hell. I can’t stand either one of them, they have no place in my life, and I do not want to visit with them. What kind of term is that, anyway? [...]
Taking a Bow

The show was amazing. After the first set or two, I started to relax and have some fun. I thought the audience wouldn’t take to me like they do William, but I was totally wrong. They accepted me just fine and there were no hecklers like I thought there might be. Huh.
Anyway, we played 2 [...]

Gulp. It’s time. At 2 PM we’re meeting one more time at the studio for a last practice. Check in and set up at the club is at 7:30 tonight (Central Time), and we go on stage at 10 PM. There’s a lot of time between 7:30 and 10 to get [...]
And The Beat Goes On (or not)

Only 3 more days til the show and so far everything is going quite smoothly. I’m really amazed at how well I’m getting along with the guys, and their play list, even though it’s mostly their own songs or heavy metal, wasn’t as hard to learn as I first imagined. Since I don’t need much [...]

On New Year’s Eve, we had a small get-together at our house. Just my immediate family and a few members of my son-in-law’s band (Stealth), gathered to bring in the new year. We were having a good time, when William (their drummer) and Vance (their bass player) decided to challenge me. Yup, that’s right. Those [...]
