Click to expand...

When I first learned to play a guitar, self taught, right-handed as a lefty, some 30+ years ago, I first learned 2 chords.
I strummed them in different tempos.

I then added a third chord.
Then another.
Then....

Soon, the words that I had in my mind fell into place as I put music to my life.

It was never easy.

My fingers have bled, working the fret, my patience has several times worn thin....
But, I knew that my love of music was worth the challenge.

I've smashed 2-3 inferior guitars as my skill increased.
I've modified guitars. I've lost guitars to pawn brokers and ex-wives.
I have been in bands.
I have played live on stage.
I have recorded in a studio.
I have taken College Keyboard Classes to learn notes and music theory.
I know how to play piano and bass guitar a bit, also....

I Will always believe that music is the common denominator of Humanity.



(Notice the "Ovation" that Kevin plays? I've seen REO in concert many times and even have "bootleg" photos and cassettes....)

Best,

Scott

To know and respect weapons is a fine thing.
To know of many weapons can save your life.

Trust me.

Soon, I will face sleep again.

All I want is a remedy.....



The electric blanket provides some solace to the cold nights in a bunker that plague my subconscious memories....
And soon, my unwanted dreams will be no longer manifested.

The positives in my life shall overcome that which has haunted me for years!

The ability to overcome what causes me pain can be eliminated through helping others.

Best,

Scott
 

And, my solace is nearer to fruition....

I have just requested to be relieved of moderating duties for the other Facebook group that I moderate.

The message sent is the same as the previous...

David, I have faithfully tried to help Moderate this site. I have been cussed. I have been threatened. I am tired of trying to help. I'm sorry, my Friend, but I would like to discontinue my Moderating duties. If I may offer advice, I think that you should be more clear of what is not allowed to post. So many bullshit posts about non-tangible items. I wish you the best for the new year and hope that the site will continue to grow in a positive manner. Always, my Best Wishes,

Scott

I feel better now, as I pour a shot of celebration....

(Of course, my usual Saturday night fare of Hot boiled peanuts certainly helps to ease the pain.....)

A song that I can relate to....

The allegory relating to me is beyond doubt....

A song that has meaning of mental health....If you understand...
Never mind the politics of the performer.
Never mind the extraneous opinions.
Focus on the message....
Everyone has a positive message if you overlook their shortcomings.
A blind man may "see."
A deaf man may "hear."
A mute man may "speak."
Never discount those who may give a wise opinion.
Even if it is me....



Another Ovation.
A 12 string.

What can this mean?

EVERYONE HAS A VOICE!

"Come To My Window"

 Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon

I would dial the numbers
Just to listen to your breath
I would stand inside my hell
And hold the hand of death
You don't know how far I'd go
To ease this precious ache
You don't know how much I'd give
Or how much I can take

Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Just to reach you

Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon

Keeping my eyes open
I cannot afford to sleep
Giving away promises
I know that I can't keep
Nothing fills the blackness
That has seeped into my chest
I need you in my blood
I am forsaking all the rest
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Oh to reach you

Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon

I don't care what they think
I don't care what they say
What do they know about this
love anyway

Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon

OK.

It's Saturday night and Scotty is playing the jams.
Just like back in the 70's when I was the AWB on the block party!

Let's get this party started right now with Salt N Pepa



AWB?
That''s what they called me.
"Average White Boy."
I was the only white boy jamming with my Friends....



Really, it was for "Average White Band."

Last week, a selector came in and was singing a Lionel Ritchie tune.
Commodores. "Brick House."

I said, "Bro, you ain't Lionel. Sing another tune by him."
(He has no idea....He's just a kid....)

He couldn't.
So I did.




He soon was singing along with me!

I love my job and those I work with!

"Fight The Power (Part 1 & 2)"

 Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah
Smile is in the makin', we got to fight the powers that be
Got so many voices, saying all the same, yeah,
Killing up all around me, faces full of pain

I tried to play my music, they say my music's too loud
I tried talking about it, I got the big runaround
And when I rolled with the punches I got knocked on the ground
By all this bullshit going down, hey

Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah
Smile is in the makin', we got to fight the powers that be
I don't understand it, people wanna say yeah


Those that got the answers, red tape in the way
I could tend to it easy, let's just have some fun naw, naw
Seekin' my satisfaction, keeps me on the run

I tried to play my music, say my music's too loud
I tried talking about it, I got the big runaround
And when I rolled with the punches I got knocked on the ground
By all this bullshit going down, oooh

Time is truly wastin', there's no guarantee, yeah
Smile is in the makin', we got to fight the powers that be
Fight it baby, yeah, woo, hey, even you and I can fight the power
Fight it, fight the power

Ahem...

A song that will help me to sleep....





The service of my Friends, Johnny and 2GF is Valiantly recognized...
We understand the service given as American Soldiers.
Some dive under water, some charged an unsurmountable mountain and some waited in bunkers below freezing temperatures.
All are America's Heroes!

When the Sh!t hit's the fan, who do you want on your side?
We are there. We are ready.
We ARE the ones who protect and defend.;
We are your Brothers/Sisters.
We are your Sons/Daughters.
We are your Husbands/Wives.
We are your Fathers/Mothers.

We Are America's Military!
And, We ARE PROUD!

If one should ever ask..Scott was an American and would give his life for the Freedom and Liberty of another.
That's all that I ask of my life....

Perhaps the stories that I relate helps me to forgive myself of the past.
And forget....

Who knows?

I am careful to not disclose what I'm not allowed.

I seem to remember an electric blanket awaiting me and a candy bar....

If only life was so simple....



Goodnight, my Friends.

Be Well.

Coins....

Do you dream of finding a collectible?

What do YOU seek?
We certainly dream of finding a gem while searching, but, will you find that treasure?

Not a problem.
An early morning breakfast.
Sausage, egg and cheese biscuits for all!

The electric blanket and candy bar will have to wait....

And I now seek sleep.DanA fabulous dream of flying last night....

I went to a window and jumped out.

I flew over rivers and mountains....
I flew beyond the grasp of mortal man....
Unlike other dreams of flying, I never felt like I would fall...
A dream of hope and inspiration?

Then,
I could not fly.
I fell to the ground...
From high up, I felt myself falling....

Yeah, I know how to interpret this.....

Joke of the day/-An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of Church services when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled, "Stop! Acts 2:38!" (Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.)

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you."

"Scripture?" replied the burglar. "She said she had an Ax and Two 38's!
 

So last night I picked up my grandson and wife at the airport. They went to Virginia to see snow. My wife fell asleep on the drive home. He is 11. He says “ Grandpa I got me a girlfriend. He describes her. I said “ a country girl huh?” I said “ can she cook?” He replied “ I don’t know grandpa but she’s HOT” haha Find out she winked at him. Oh she’s 17...... haha
