Janice-Marie Johnson's intro solo and classic riff that was my inspiration to learn bass.

I like all of them except zombie movies. For some reason they just don't interest me at all. Space related ones such as the Alien franchise are my favorites. Absurd slasher movies like the Terrifier franchise are fun. The Mrs. hates them so I always have to watch them alone.

Sadly, at least around here, the food and service have been in decline for a while. Much of it seems institutional and out of a can instead of tasting like it was home cooked (whether it was or not).

Watching it now... I'm a big fan of the Alien franchise. Final year of college when the first movie came out. Sigourney Weaver as Ripley ...mmm...mmm...mmm

Yes, a portable generator; sort of considered standard equipment in hurricane prone Florida. I keep a diligent maintenance routine of cranking and running it once a month, oil and filter changes etc.

Which reminds me of one of my favorite tenor arias, "Una furtiva lagrima" (even though they spelled it wrong in the caption)

I don't remember the name, but this Hollywood prop man pops up in my Facebook feed from time to time with really interesting looks at props, how they are made, how they are used and the tricks they use to appear real.

It should also be noted that he was a quite talented bass player, playing and recording with many artists including is own Miles Long band.

Our guitar group has been exploring blues artists looking for new songs. I had never heard of Keb' Mo', but now I've been binging his albums.

My favorite because I once worked on a corporate system that literally depended on a PC stashed under someone's desk. (And had the vapors when we discovered it!)

I'm sure you've heard it before; our financial guy talks about the three stages of retirement: the go-go years, the slow-go years and the no-go years. He says it's important to be able to recognize the transition from one to another and to get done, in each one, the things that you won't be able...

Yes, several.

I've mentioned this before, but my maternal Grandmother was a fan of nonsense sayings. My favorite was "If you get there first make a mark on the door and if I get there first I'll erase it."

Just added a Squier Classic Vibe 60's Mustang bass in surf green to my collection.
