Hello. Yeah, it's been a while. Not much. How 'bout you? Where did I leave off? Last week is just a blur but I do remember Friday's gig being a rather loud turd on ice or in a bowl of Kool-Aid. I brought the Super Reverb and it was ok. Saturday, Kris went out of town with a friend and I had little Jojo boogerpants all to meself. We ran some errands, ate some bad food, did kid stuff until bedtime. Keith came over for a bit to steal some stolen licks and friend Matt also came over for a while and left with the Columbia House music collection. Next day, Mommy came home and Keith came over again and was forced at ball point to watch both Powerpuff Girls and Spongebob Patrickpants. Tomorrow, we see the Police. Ever notice you have to go through hell to see a concert nowadays? The traffic, the expense (parking not included), the weather (permitting). the crummy seats (it's all we can afford). I haven't had a great seat to a show in years (not counting running up to the front near the end). A few weeks ago, I ordered a shirt with the Capitol logo on it and it finally came. Kris said it was really silly and corporate to wear a record label logo and she's got a point but it's more sentimental than that. Capitol brought us The Beatles and The Beach Boys. I used to just stare at the record label going round and round and Capitol has this cool rainbow around the perimeter and a yellow-orange swirl on the 45s. So i'm not supporting a corporation (i didn't buy it from them). I'm paying tribute to my many hours of record playing. Screw it. I think it looks cool.

Capitol also gave us Badfinger, the Band, and the Beasties, and we're still only in the B's. I think it warrants a T-shirt.
Oh. Picking sides are we, Petie? :P
At least it's a cool color green. I forgot all about that picture I took of you in Monterey.
I'm glad you had a good weekend with Johanna. <3
Nice tee. Capitol idea!
Now I have that song in my head, or at least the way I thought it went as a kid:
"I'm not talkin' 'bout the linen/and I don't wanna change your life
But there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around..."
Great seeing you this weekend, and thanks for passing on the stolen goods...
Mike,
Cousin Jimmy from LI here. Its been a long time. I enjoyed reading your blog. I'm glad you are still the lunatic I remember (Honest and brash). I tell my three kids about us jamming in the Basement @ Aunt Olga and Uncle Carmine's (your Gram and Gramps) and they look at me like I'm nuts. Joey is still singing harmony...I think. Anyway, I am going to be in Bonita Springs for the weekend and I'd love to see you if you're going to be in town. If you are playing that would be even better. Call my parents and they will give you me cell number. I'd type it here but won't for obvious reasons. Hope to hear from you. By the by I've become a huge Bon Jovi fan. A definate Karaoke favorite. Still love the Beatles.
Oh, Shit...JIMMY! I gotta see you! Are you gonna be able to get out here? I don't know where Bonita Springs is but i'm so happy to hear from you! Try to email me at fortyfives@hotmail.com with any info!
I'll call my mom tomorrow to get your parents number.
