and tom tracy..

i'm sitting here strolling down memory lane..

i was a hotshot guitar player many years ago..

mr big shot!

then...one night in wisconsin, mr big shot was doing a show on his home turf...to a couple thousand of his fans...and opening for some black guy from texas....freddie king...

mr big shot sez "bring him on!"...

they did........

i can still feel the pain........

he blew me off the stage so effortlessly he didn't even notice...i landed out on the street..bounced a few times with my guitar stuffed into my anal cavity and headed for the lake...i splashed in and bobbed up and down helplesslly for several years...

i learned, that night, that the big dogs walk qietly...that they are always out there....waiting...ready for you and your dreams.....and if you cross them, they will take bites from your ass....

the most under appreciated guitarist is some kid in bubblejump iowa that none of us have ever heard...probably never will hear...but......he (or she) is there...practicing while we waste time....

i hope he gets a record deal and gets a break....

i'm gonna have a couple of hot dogs and watch the cub game....i'll practice my mandolin while the game is on....it drives the cats crazy
