I'm still sore from the guitar stint I finished an hour or so ago (left shoulder, left arm, finger pads).

Busy weekend.  Grandsons did an overnight with us Friday and stayed until Saturday afternoon.  Then Saturday evening we walked downtown to the Heritage Festival and took in the Numbers Band, the Bluestones (my guitar teacher's band), and had drinks with Branton and Andrea.  Sunday was kind of a recovery day.

Listening to BB King now.

I haven't slept well for a few years.  The plus side of this is that when I'm awake staring at the ceiling my mind races and I sometimes get  viable ideas.  And that is how the latest installment of Appearances came about.

My poetry friend Lynn Behrendt sent me a link to 5 short tracks of her son Jake's guitar work.  Great work.  Exactly in my sweet spot.  Go here to hear.  I want to be able to do what he does.  That's my goal as a budding (at almost 61 years of age) musician.  That last track is my favorite by the way.
