It's Sunday night and I'm wrapping up another YouTube marathon weekend, where I came across some stories about Paul McCartney and John Lennon. American singer/songwriter/guitarist Carl Perkins had enormous influence on The Beatles, early in their careers.
This video I'm linking is about after their breakup and how they often collaborated with other musicians.

Paul & Linda had visited John in New York at The Dakota apartments where he was staying. As they were leaving it's claimed Lennon said: "Think about me every now and then old friend..." Something they didn't share with anyone else. Lennon was murdered in 1980.

Years later, McCartney invited Carl Perkins to work on a project with him and stayed at their house. Carl had a dream with a song lyric and the next morning he played it for Paul, repeating the last words he and Linda heard when leaving John.

The rest is history.



Did the spirit of John pass by Carl that night?

I'm rounding the bend with my recent episode of cellphone hell. Most of the issues with my new phone have been eliminated with setting changes and installation of apps that helped fix problems the phone didn't do in it's stock setup.

One concession I made was to select the 'always on' screen because there weren't any visual indicators when the screen was turned off. My two previous models had a blinking light reminder when mail or unread texts were waiting.

This is my first phone to have 5G service and that's no additional charge from my carrier.

Maybe you can recall all the negativity issues people said about 5G, like no signal in buildings, the systems were made in China and capturing all your personal data and the most significant... 5G will burn your eyes in their sockets.

I'm due for an eye exam (and oil change in my car) so probably next week, I'll make an appointment... for both.

I'll report back here should the eye doctor find unusual retina damage.

Who are you i wanna know..........

I'll start with Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

But each day, when she walks to the sea, She looks straight ahead, not at he...
Lyrics from the song The Girl From Ipanema, a 1960's Brazilian Bossa Nova international hit.

It's in the song list of music I'm learning, for an upcoming gig. Rehearsals at a rate of 2 per week puts me in a pinch, as it's not enough time to comfortably learn all the arrangements and play more than one set as a trio. My cousin will duo with the guitarist and do the other 2 sets without me. No choice. it's agreed. The venue is a open bar at a restaurant and the management only wanted a duo to play low-volume anyway. I'll be introduced as a guest musician and play a few songs. We are bumping the regular entertainment... a woman who sings to pre-recorded music.

At this point, I'm expecting to carry on my day job working 2 large projects and 1 small one already on the books. I asked for a short break from sales for a few months. That didn't go as planned, three new sales leads are on my calendar.

I'll make it happen... I always do.




Brazilian jazz singer, Astrud Gilberto, 1940 to 2023 died at the age of 83.

These past few weeks, I have been very active on Instagram, where I watch reels. I need to stop doing that at night, just before bed.

The reason? Food.. I watch a LOT of food reels, and it's making me hungry.

Last night, I was watching about ten reels with brisket, mac and cheese, spaghetti, lasagne and big steaks. One reel improved on the Baconator from Wendy's, which in of itself is a damn fine burger. Now, seeing as it was around midnight, and all the shops were closed, I had no way of buying the ingredients I needed to make said burger from scratch. I also didn't have a blender, so.. Maybe it's for the best, because I wanted to make the bacon mayonnaise that was put in the burger.

I also got a fantastic idea for bacon cheese, but that'll be made another day. To add to that: I need to experiment with barbecue sauces, because I need different ones for different meats. Some of them will be spicy. I love spicy stuff!

My cooking is about to be taken to the next level over the next few months!

A Gimp is someone who wears a rubber mask and has a s*xual fetish to be restrained and dominated. They may also have an attraction to inanimate objects as a preferred way to be sexually aroused.
Beware of Gimps! They may be on this site, but easy to spot by mask wearing, especially if the mask suddenly disappears.

It was a wild idea a few years ago and now it's up where the U.S. Senate has passed a bill that could ban TikTok unless its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, divests from it.

Just think of all the FREE TIME people will have if they weren't posting hundreds of thousands of 'look at me' while I change my clothing videos!
