Good morning. 😴⏰☕

28 July 2025

Do you remember Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR)? Of course you do—everybody knew them back in the day. They were my favorite, right around the time I was just old enough to start making those questionable decisions teenagers are known for. And boy, did I make them. I recall one particular incident involving Buckhorn Beer that I won’t go into—but trust me, it was stupid. At the time, I lived less than an hour south of Lodi, California, just off Highway 99.

"Just about a year ago
I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Lookin' for a pot of gold
Things got bad, and things got worse
I guess you will know the tune
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

Rode in on the Greyhound
I'll be walkin' out if I go ..." - Composed by John Fogerty · Recorded by Creedence Clearwater Revival

"Sometimes I think life is just a rodeo—the trick is to ride and make it to the bell." — John Fogerty

Took a few days off and my Mom came to visit…and turn the first 2 days into outdoorsy extravaganzas! Day one was cycling along the #SavannahRiver Canal (and sometimes the river itself) followed by taking my 3-yr old niece to the pool where I carried her everywhere bc she refused to put her floaties on (that part not pictured - I was busy 🤣)

Introduction:

#guitar teacher since 1986. #musician

Lots of #bands you've never heard of, but some of my #guitar students you may have.

My #recording #daw of choice is #reaper #reaperdaw , that I've used since it's inception.

I have many #guitars and #amplifier s, the top of my quiver being a custom #Suhr and an early 70s 50 watt Marshall JMP.

My musical preferences varies from #pinkfloyd #allanholdsworth #Coltrane #Bach #70sRock #easylistening #ELO #Soundgarden #kingsx #Queen
#Carpenters #JimiHendrix #VanHalen #Vangelis #Albinone #Vivaldi #Debussy #STP #cocteautwins #Beatles #PaulMcCartney #PeterFrampton #JeffBeck #LedZeppelin #Rush #BillFrisell #BrianBladeFellowship #JeffBuckley #FionaApple #kdlang #BradMehldau #Bacharach #ThePolice #manyothers

The best sounding #surfsound is at #MyrtleBeach S. C..

I have been a big #Formula1 fan since the early 90s. Pro #LewisHamilton ftw, or #ChecoPerez, #LandoNorris, #McLaren. I drive a stick 2014 #Subaru #BRZ #FRS aka the best daily driver created.

Post-political, old-school left biased. I will not accede to any political party unless the platform is to ban lobbying and PACs; nothing ever changes until that happens. I am as jaded as it gets in politics, and you should be, too.

Staunchly pro #vaccination #vaccines #masks . I took preventative anti- #covid measures early January 2020. "This" could have been prevented, and is worse because of political pressure confirmation bias. #longcovid is real, and it's.... aggravating that 19th century anti-science propaganda flourishes in the 21st century.

.... and Mastodon's character limit is this long? Hmmm.

#Photography I like to make intentionally blurry photos with #pinhole lenses, less blurry with my favorite luxury item my #Canon 70-200 F/2.8IS ii.

I reside in #NorthAugusta #SouthCarolina , which borders #Augusta #Georgia on the #SavannahRiver.

My wife is a #nuclear scientist at the #DepartmentofEnergy #DOE #SavannahRiverSite , I give #guitarlessons online via #Facetime , #Skype or #Zoom since the #pandemic (and have since closed my brick and mortar office of > 12 years). We have a super smart movie-dog cute #Goberian , but #GermanSheperds are wonderful.

Time to restring guitars, hope this works and doesn't inadvertently violate some arcane rule...?
