Got to perform Lee and Paige with Tom last night.

I've been jammin' with an old buddy recently. His name is Tom and he used to host a lot of bluegrass jams at his house. One of our "theme songs" together was King Wilkie's Lee and Paige, a bluegrass tune they wrote in the early 2000s. Last night we performed it at an Open Mic in Martinez CA. It was well-received. I played guitar, Tom played his new mandolin, and our old friend Bruce Campbell played bass behind us. I know I linked the song before (by King Wilkie, not us--for a change, I'm not shamelessly self-promoting) but I'll link it again. Today is one of my long days at Guitar Center. I'm psyching up now. Photo is of the headstock of my 1914 Gibson A-4 mandolin.

@TheHorse I have cleaned the kitchen today and the laundry room, because tomorrow I wait for the plumber to fix a couple of things. I hate when workers have to come to our home.

@LadyDuck Eh, I don't mind it. At least something will be fixed. My toilet flushes now.

So far so good. Got some garbage taken out and bought some groceries. Hope you enjoyed the tune.

Not shamelessly self-promoting sounds like Socialism to me.

@TheHorse Well, you should be able to afford one now with all that endorsement money is rolling in.

@xander6464 I have to figure out a way to get more people to see the Microsoft tattoos on my bottom. But I haven't gotten a role as a butt model since Kevin Costner starred in Robin Hood.

Every inch of me in monetized. I am covered in Harley tattoos even though I've never driven a Harley.

Open-mic sessions would be a lot of fun. It's good you get the chance to do this.

Yeah, but I'm kind of a snob. I don't like playing for free, unless my students are involved.
