Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GwenOnBass]

I remember now what I wanted to grump about this morning. Really not sure why people say sliced bread is so great. It's not.

I hate the rare instances when I’m playing and forget what comes next in the middle of a song. Maybe that’s why old people often stick to classic songs.

These were all classic songs, given it was Renaissance (for me, anyway)! Annie forgot that the song she had just announced they were going to play being on a different album than it really was. A few seconds after that, she pretty much blurted out "Brain Fart!"

Cleveland is only an hour from The Bearded Butchers in Creston, Ohio. Wouldn’t mind going there.

A friend of mine lives just about three miles due north of there. Must be Amish butchers. One of the Amish contractors that have done work at our house brought some trail bologna he made from his favorite cow, Elsie. He was bearded, but not from anywhere near Creston. More like, 25 miles due east of us.

Between listening to Annie Haslam and to listening to Maddy Prior, I went with Maddy more often.

I like to slice my own.

In making a sandwich, I would rather use two slices of bread than two loaves of bread. It might be different if I was making a party platter.

Some of those breakfast offerings look dangerous.

Wait. No grits???

I love them both, equally. (wish they felt the same way about me...............)

I just rip a piece off the loaf and go for it.

Wrong part of town. Coventry Village was Cleveland Heights' '60s Haight-Ashbury, and still is in some repects.

Me too. I loved Annie Haslam, but then I sang in a prog-fusion band and the only female singer anyone knew to compare anyone else to in that genre was Annie Haslam. Did I sound like Annie Haslam? Some critics said yes, others said no. She was the only yardstick anyone had in their toolbox. It was all Annie, all the time. It got comical after awhile.

PS: I sound nothing like Annie Haslam. She has a fine, trained voice. I am a hack.

I see what you did there

My copy of Annie in Wonderland did get playtime on my turntable.

Any remember a band called Planxty?

Fretted bread? You play fretless?
Well, I'm sure you cut through.

Many singers dislike the sound of their own voice and want to disguise it in some way.

One Sunday night they were inspired by Jethro Tull on the Ed O'Sullivan Show and dreamt that they could take their planxty songs and wander through the Irish countryside spreading mournful cheer. Their motto was, leave no pub behind.

^ difficult concept to assign to an Irish band

Pebbles and Bamm Bamm formed a band and had a hit with an old song. They eventually married. Interesting to note, Sally Struthers played Pebbles in 71-72.
