THIS IS AWESOME

 

I've been so sad, and then I see this.  Kick-ass!

Rest in peace Cindy Camp

My dear, sweet, wonderful friend and bandmate, Cindy Camp, passed away on Monday the 23rd from complications after a stroke.




 

Cindy was the best bass player I ever played with.  She knew how to play just the right notes and not any extraneous ones.  We got back in touch when the Ticks started doing some reunion gigs back in 2015.  Ever since then, we stayed close.  She and I would call each other on the phone and start singing a song when the other answered.  Many times I would start this song because the line, "I ain't saying, you ain't pretty" cracks me up:

Cindy and her husband Dee would help me get my mind off my worries when my sister Kathy got sick.  Sometimes I just needed Cindy's sense of humor.  They saw me through some dark times.  They would also help me with my yard when the jungle started to take over.  I had just seen them a few days before to talk about doing a yard project and discuss ideas.  It is crazy to me that she is gone.  I am missing her mightily.

Now And Then (John Lennon) [Demo] (Remaster)

This is a beautiful song and I wish Paul would finish/record it.

Kayak Rolling Loop - From Grace Under Pressure

When I started kayaking in the late 90's, a bunch of us newbies would watch this kayak rolling loop on VHS over and over.  And over.  It was at the end of one of the best rolling instruction videos ever made: Grace Under Pressure by Holt Productions.
