I got myself a brand new tube amplifier
It’s large and lovely to behold
La, La, La, La, La
I got myself a new tube amplifier
Now I’m gonna blow a big one
I got myself a little tube amplifier
It’s large and lovely and it smells just like a dream
I got myself a tube amplifier
Now I’m gonna blow a big […]

Guess what I just bought…and guess who picked it out?  You’ll have to wait until this Saturday to find out.  Couldn’t have happened any weirder.
(hint)
it is not a s’more

Devil went down to Georgia

Devil went down to Georgia (ala Primus)
So after downloading the old school Chuck D version, listening, laughing, remembering secretly listening to it as a little girl in my bed in the dark (to see if the radio would beep out the bad word), and realizing that Primus made a MOVIE…I had to look up the […]

Sawing | Science | Swearing (in)

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

First…I forgot to say that I played Augie’s fiddle on Sat @ Bluer and Sun @ Emmaus Road and it was awesome!  I did learn however, that it is much easier to play in front of a large group of people you have never seen before and may never see again, than it is a […]

Augie’s Fiddle

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

It’s here and was worth every penny restoring it. I’m only sorry that I didn’t take a picture of it before it went to ‘the man’. It’s beautiful. It’s like playing a toy, it’s so light! And ‘the man’ said that it’s a LONG violin…1/4″ longer than the longest size. […]

Traditional headnoise…

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

Who knew having half of my eyebrows removed would make me look so much more awake.  Perhaps it was the Dunn Bros. coffee the salon was serving and not the hairlessness.
Augie’s violin should be ready tomorrow, I can hardly contain myself.
Almost as if the Golden Arches are mocking me…the day after I cut them slack […]

My studio smells like Goo Gone. Funny thing is, it’s kind of making me hungry.
Bob just scrubbed off one side of the glittery residue I affectionately refer to as the drag-queen eyeshadow on Big Girl Viola. She looks nice. Bob must be bored or just showing me how much he loves me. […]

How does he do that?

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

Mark Wood and his fretted fiddles are at it again! This time they are bringin’ on the bad a$$ mobile cello! How does this guy sing and play at the same time? Fasciniating.
Mark Wood is a total Rockstar! But I can’t look at this picture with out cracking up.
“Ah! Don’t […]

Restoration by “the man”

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

Ok, realizing two things:
1. I probably should have taken a photo of Augie’s violin before dropping it off at “the man” today. Augie = my great great grandpa. Before/After picture of the restoration would have been cool.
2. It might not actually be Augie’s violin. Upon closer inspection by “the man*” […]

Head Noise

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

Here’s a good ol’ fashioned head noise post for olde tymes sake:

Global warming: If global warming continues, the maps of the world will need to be re-drawn. The ice melting and sea level rising will completely change the face of this planet as we know it. Imagine Manhattan and the bottom coasts of […]

It was an amazing experience…and Bob gifted us all with his singing! Here we are. I’m joining the band again this Saturday. One of the songs sounds like a Pink Floyd song and I’ve got about 5 effects planned for the 8 songs we are playing. I find myself wanting to […]

What I have been doing instead of blogging.

“What I have been doing on my Christmas break”
Not in particular order:

Been eating close to a dozen cookies a day. I may have aquired TFTCFE (temporary fatness that comes from eating).
Staying in my PJ’s until whenever we come up with a good reason to leave the house, and then not putting any make-up on […]
