Good evening all. Lots happened in the last month, and I’ll expand on that all over the next few days. In the meantime, I just needed to drop in and let you know I am still kicking. That trip to Alaska in a short while is going to be very therapeutic. My song of the day is a random shuffle off my phone and boy, did I hit it big time. Love this song Little Wing, the classic Hendrix tune as interpreted by one the great Texas blues-men of all time, Stevie ray Vaughn. As an added bonus, I have added a Jimi Hendrix and John Mayer renditions of the tune. Enjoy, and we shall talk soon.

So tell me, what do you do when you are driving 1100 km, over 2 days, in the rain and in the car for 14 hours. If you’re me, you hit the radio and look for songs to Shazam for your blog. I think I found some. The first road tune I heard was a classic blues tune by former Fabulous Thunderbird, Jimmie Vaughn. The song. “Dirty Girl”. One of the Texas roadhouse blues guitar players that were spawned in the 70’s, Jimmy is a great player, very great. Seems to run in the Vaughn family.
