Pneumonia. Then relapse of Pneumonia. Then no sleep since my restless legs medicine decided not to work at all. One simply can’t sleep when one’s legs are running marathons. Then nasty side effects from Levaquin (levofloxacin). Look them up and see for yourself what they are. Mine primarily showed up as an all over painful…
After having had a good time at The Alabama Folk School, I returned home, more tired than I perhaps should have been. While I did not keep raucous hours at Camp McDowell, since I don’t keep raucous hours, I did not get much sleep. Sleep for me, is sometimes as elusive as Bigfoot. Have you…
I was elated to be asked by the great Herb Trotman to be a part of the volunteer staff of the Alabama Folk School held week before last a beautiful Camp McDowell in Nauvoo, Alabama. The Folk School has been going on for ten years now. The have instruction in music and arts and crafts.…
David and Mary are an African-American couple who have worked odd jobs for my family off and on for years. David and Mary are simple. They are slow witted. If you could combine their IQ, I expect it would be hard pressed to get beyond 100. They are limited in the tasks they can do,…

I have been a faithful blog writer for over eight years now. I have thousands of pages written and mostly edited. Occasionally…
I ran across this old song I played on The Sucarnochee Revue a few years ago. I twisted the old song DIG A HOLE IN THE MEADOW into a modal ballad, playing the Mando-Cello for rhythm instead of the guitar. It’s me on the mando-cello and singing, Bryan Hayes on the resonator guitar, and Augie…
Earlier tonight, I had written this long treatise on excessive drama in our lives: drama from hundreds of news sources and thousands of fake news purveyors clamoring for our attention, drama from our government, drama from social media, dramas upon dramas upon dramas…even dramas on llamas. I had written that nothing was simple anymore, being…
That was the sound Sunday. Boom! My church blew up. There were no explosives. No hand grenades. No rockets. No terrorism. No fisticuffs. Just a vote that blew the church up.
