    Misheard Lyrics

    When I was a kid...8 or 9, I always thought Whole Lotta Love by Zeppelin said "Baby You Need Cool-Aid"...I really thought that was the stupidest song in the world, because, why would someone NEED Cool-Aid? Didn't figure it out 'til I was 12 or 13, when I started playing it on guitar. Had to...

    They Don't Eat Corned Beef & Cabbage on St. Patrick's Day in Ireland!!!

    Anyone going to serve a traditional Irish dish for St. Patrick's day? I'm serving up my usual Guinness and Beef Stew with Irish Soda Bread and washing it all down with more Guinness, and maybe a Killian's or two. No dessert this year since I've given up sweets for lent. How about you? Happy...

    A chess site are going to do an article about me.

    Alright, I've let this go as long as I could and have to say: "A chess site are going to do an article about me." A grammar site wants to interview you about your interesting new take on subject-verb agreement as well. :poop:

    What is an unpopular/controversial opinion you have regarding the ukulele?

    Playing fingerstyle doesn't necessarily make someone a better player than one who strums.

    A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter. "What are you doing?" She asked. "Hunting Flies" He responded. "Oh!... Killing any?" She inquired. "Yep, 3 males, 2 Females," he replied. Intrigued, she asked, "How can you tell them apart?" He responded...

    Things that drive me nuts

    When I see people using "awhile" when they mean "a while." You can't say "for awhile" because "awhile" means "for a while" and you can't say "after awhile" because you'd really be saying "after for a while." Come on people. You can say "I've been gone awhile" but not "I've been gone for awhile."...

    Meditation

    There are many ways to meditate. Not all include sitting Indian-style and focusing on breathing. I prefer walking meditation or meditating while playing an instrument, the uke mostly. Sometimes I do focused meditation, where I focus on the muscles, flexing them each individually, slowly and...

    D chord with thumb

    I play a D with my index barred on the 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings sometimes. Obviously if I have to do something else I choose a more appropriate fingering. I also do it with the index, middle and ring fingers, or middle ring and pinky, sometimes I bar the 3rd and 4th strings with one finger and...

    Jukeboxes, Phone Booths and Transistor Radios

    My brain hurts just thinking about it. All I got is Letters, no one writes letters anymore. And singing out of key, everyone uses Autotone now-a-days. Political Correctness has gotten rid of tons of fun stuff.
