With Glowing Hearts!

·

I have been busy these past few weeks,
with my Birthday trip to Ottawa,
and seeing all my wonderful family and friends, (not to mention how they contributed
to the massive weight gain I have accumulated)
I have not written anything about my favorite Sports event.

The 2010 Winter Olympics.

I know I am so late with this,
But I just got the chance to write this,
right after Canada conquered Russia in Men’s Hockey,
and I am allowing my vocal cords to recover.

I should have updated my site days ago,
But as I have said before, and it is no secret here,
that when the Olympics are on,
I am useless to be around! All I do is watch it.
I am pretty much as useless as a fart in a Jacuzzi!

What? Too gross?

Okay, how about as useless as a belt on a plumber?

No? Still too obscene?

As useless as Tiger Woods’ apology?
Too insensitive?

Well, too bad. I am sticking with that!

I am ending this and take a shower.
I haven’t bathed since we lost to the US in the quarterfinals.
The cat won’t lick me anymore.

GO CANADA GO!!

I give up!

It is a known fact how much I adore and idolize

Paul Gilbert.

But on this G3 tour,
with Joe Satriani and John Petrucci,
while they were jamming on Always With Me, Always With You,
the clip between 1:09 and 1:37,
is probably one of the best riff phrasing I have ever heard from him.

It’s simple, but it Rocks!

I give up.
I am going to destroy my guitars!
I will never be able to do that!

This jam is so freakin’ awesome,
it makes you wanna slap your momma!

Twice!!

Twenty Ten

2009 wasn’t as good as I hoped it to be.
In fact it has kicked me right down to the curb a couple of times.
I am pretty sure I was not alone in this.

And as always,
Here I am.
Here we are.

Trying to do better.

Let us try to start this year right.
Start it with LOVE.
(And maybe some cake too.)

Happy New Year to all!!

Master Jedi turns 7!

· 3 Comments ·

The kid turns 7 today.
And we brought him to Disney last week.

He got picked for the Jedi Training Academy.

He was also picked to ask Crush (Finding Nemo) a question.

I didn’t get to video that one but here is what the conversation was like:
Tyler: “How was it when you were in the movie?”
Crush: (Pauses) “I was in a movie?”
Tyler: “Yes! Remember? Finding Nemo?”
Crush: “Oh yeah. It was ok. It took us about an hour and a half to find him.”

The kid had a great time.
And so did I.

Thank you to all who greeted him.
Happy Birthday, Son!

Pentatonic Power

· 1 Comment ·

Here’s Bobby McFerrin
demonstrating the Pentatonic Scale.

The reason I shared this with you is because
it is the only scale I know on the fretboard.

And because of its power,
I am able to bullshit my way around a song.
I am serious.

Okay, I lied.
I also know the Major Scale.

Which doesn’t really mean much since,
everyone knows the Major Scale.
(Do re mi fa so la … and so on.)

I learned that from the Sound of Music.
That and Nuns are hot!

Such a loss

Renowned Guitarist, Jeff Healey
passed away yesterday.

I must admit this news hit me hard.
I still can’t believe he is gone.

Mr. Healey is one of the most underrated musicians
ever to hit the world of Blues and Rock.

I will never forget his style, his tone
and his screaming riffs.

It really is quite a loss.

Thank you Mr. Jeff Healey.
Thank you for your music.

Here’s a video of one of his famous appearances.
