If You Lose Your Money - Sonny & Brownie cover

I am putting up too many videos. I said I would quit when I needed glasses. But I keep hearing good songs on Pandora free radio. This one uses straight harp and trying to do the job of two guys (Sonny and Brownie) is hard on the wind. I looked at video lessons on how to play harp like Sonny Terry. But I guess I would rather just sound like me.

It's good to be unemployed (retired, I guess). Picture perfect Iowa summer morning with nice temps. Fishing at Prairie Rose and Nishna Bend. No fish. Lots of seaweed snags. Many wildflowers and birds. Birds: dickcissels, red cap sparrow, house sparrows, chimney swifts, barn swallows, cliff swallows, king birds, kingfisher, Canada geese and lots of goose poop, coots, great blue heron, mourning doves, meadowlark, killdeers, kestrel, cardinal, bluejays, brown thrashers, starlings, robins, red wing blackbirds, cowbird.

The story of my life, Wes.  The song needed some dobro from you.

It's all shits and giggles until somebody giggles and shits.

Pick, I have picked up my Swampie a couple times lately, plugged it in and further damaged my poor hearing.   It sounds and plays great, but the last couple videos were easier with frets.   My fretless days will return. 

I have Elixir strings ordered for a nice little six string factory build that I bought mildly broken.  And I need to restring my Iowa LPG, git which now has a broken string.  That one and Swampie Sue are my fave fretless. 

Gees, Pick.  I am rambling.   1015 in the AM and I am drinking a double whiskey.  Too early?  I was up before six, went for a walk and fishing.   Time to sip, do a chore or two and play some music.   Gonna cook Linda pork chops for supper and make a salad.

Thanks, Pick.  I know just what you mean.   No, I don't.  Wot?
