For any of you following along at home, making some progress. Apart from my sister(s), my closest relations are a couple first cousins once removed. So not very close. Family, yes, technically, and we are all pleased as punch about that.
Gonna say when I wear the garmentI get noticed. And worn it on stage as appropriate for my hippie band in a particular lens of time. What may be odd, if anything, is no photographs of me so attired exist, to the best of my knowledge.
The kind of notice I get, I notice, depends a great deal on who is seeing me. Folks latch on to all kinds of wrong ideas.
Peruvian pan flute bands do well busking around the world.

It may seem odd, but when I hear his name I think of him as Joey Bishop's "Ed McMahon kind of sidekick" and an episode of Get Smart where he was a baker IIRC.
Yeah, he did all kinds of stuff and wasn't above playing the fool.
You are truly putting the old in GOF. Were I wearing it, I'd tip my hat.
When there are on stage delays such as a broken string, sometimes it helps if you can play the fool. I always wished that I could juggle.
Objects or relationships?
Objects or relationships?
Some like to treat relationships as objects that they can manipulate.
Drummers like a little showmanship. Problem is, they want to take a solo.

In some worlds, there are those who like to treat people like data points to be manipulated.
Some of those "worlds" are too close to home.
Your deliberate mis-spelling was a test to see who was paying attention, right?ah yes well seen.

Oh wow I love pre-Rumours Fleetwood Mac.
I never quite managed to see the PG era Mac, but they were quite popular in my circle. I did catch the Bare Trees tour date in Port Chester though, which was pretty swell. The band didn't even get top billing on most dates in those days and the headliner at the show I saw is long forgotten.
I know that guy!
I worked for him for two years; and then I Lawyered Up...2 months later he Was permitted to resign.

Appears the Marlins are stranded in Philly on account of the covid?
Yep, they're off to another great start. Win 2 outta 3 and lose 12 players.
I received an email from Audient. They want to sell something so that I can sound like Motown's James Jefferson. Whoever he is....
