Oye, gitana, me gusta el bigote. ¿Me lees la mano?

Phony Pay Phones

Only the shells remain. That's why I wanted to take a picture; to capture the intermediary stage between the phone being gone, and all traces of the pay phone being gone.

Spring Threatens to Break Out

Chimichurri and T-bones

The steaks, from Warren Wilson College. Grass fed beef. The green sauce: parsley, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, paprika, oregano, salt.

Tyler's Quintet at JJ's (Feb. 5 2011)

The cats were sounding fine. Bless their hearts for letting me sit in, and agreeing to play my new tune, "Pensativo." Got some good feedback from the band.

The Tuckasegee River in Winter

My cell phone takes pretty good pictures. I just push the button. Yesterday during my bike ride.

The Dragons, Live in Lansing

The Dragons, live in a bar in downtown Lansing, MI, c. 1988. My brother Steve is playing my second Les Paul. The guitar was stolen from me about four years ago. I ran over my first Les Paul with a Chevy station wagon about 1979. That first one was a nice axe. Never really bonded with the second one. I give up on Les Pauls. If I ever buy another electric guitar, I'm thinking Telecaster or hollow body. Steve usually played drums. I don't who the cat sitting in on the drums with us was. Daniel with his back to the camera. We quarreled and broke up about a year or so later.
