Had a great time jamming yesterday.. Steve was great & we had a lot in common.. He sure can "pick".. His style offers some contrast to mine.. "fills in a lot of voids in my chord structures" We might do some stuff together- who knows. He's a great writer too.. I'm kinda lacking in that vein.. Got some good ideas though..

Boy ! It's a wicked "foggy" morning... Really thick like London... ( Taylor sees it all the time ), I went out to walk in it... Swearls around as you go through it... weird .... Looks like the was a bear at our dumpster last night.. tried to push it over... I could see the paw marks on the back..we had to replace it a few years back for that reason... & get a "bear-proof" lid..

Sounds like Sharon is getting up.... I can hear the patter of size 8's upstairs.

Hope you all have a wonderfull day...

Love to all & God Bless,

Ric

End of August..

Almost Sharon's B-Day.. (31st)... I can't tell you how much I love this women....

I'd never known "womanhood" and it's sweetness until I met Sharon... Best thing that ever happened to me...

Hope all is well with all of you..

Going to be jamming with a fellow from Canon City, today... He's got some recordings that are doing pretty well in Eastern Europe right now.... Used to be part of the early folk scene in L.A. back in the late 60's..

We've got a lot in common...

Gotta hit the showers,,

Love to all ,

IT'S AUGUST & LIFE IS GOOD HERE IN THE MOUNTAINS

Yep, the weather has been cooperating this summer... mellow days, cool evenings ( 40 degrees here this A.M. )... lots of rainy evenings too... very few forest fires, ( knock on wood )..

I got a call from The Canon Rose Acoustic Society last night.. they want me to open for the first show of the fall season this year...Always a great audience.. they listen to every word... and they love the oldies ! I've been working on a slow version of Buddy Hollies "Every Day".. I like it.. kinda makes it more "folky".. and a faster verson of "Detroit City".. which suits my voice better.

Sharon & I are going to town today... supplies, etc... might catch a movie, might take a drive up towards Cripple Creek first... check out the views... I also need to get another mike & stand at Guitar Center, ( want to mike my amp, for the Washburn G-3 and put the sound through the P.A. system).. gives me more options for a mellow sound....

Gonna hit the shower... bye for now... oh, yes.. the photos first is another sunset from our deck the second is a shot from up near Cripple Creek earlier this year.

Love to all,

Ric
