New Guy Here

[Happy Hobbyist]

Greetings,
I am a 57 year-old engineer by day and a semiprofessional Blues and rock guitarist on nights and weekends. My initial intent is to focus on the Controversial Topics area as I have no political affiliation and do not recognize any aspect of our political system as a providing any true representation.
Thanks,
HH

So then, do you refrain from voting, or do you cast your vote for the lesser of two evils?

 

[Happy Hobbyist]

Yes, I have refrained from voting for the past 20 plus years. The political polls and simply that. Casting a "vote" is little more than market research in my opinion.

 

[NightSwimmer]

Okay. Just wondered where you stood on that.

Johnny Winter is my favorite blues guitarist

Yeah, Johnny is great. I wore out his records. Saw him in Denver at Cervantes a few years ago and years before that at the Filmore in Denver.

Saw him way back in the 70s might a been 69 at Hofheinz Pavilion at U of H with Bb King at the end they both came out and really tore it up with their guitars for quite a while

Do you still own some vinyl?

 

[Happy Hobbyist]

When I was 16 I had my father drop me off at the Denver Coliseum to see BB King. I wore out BB's records, too!

All my vinyl is in storage. But these days you can fine everything on line.

It looks like your about the same age as most of us here. You know the type a ponytail in the back and balding on the top. Do you check out the canes at Walgreens when waiting on a script? I do.

I own zero vinyl it's the result of marrying-a latina one of the prerequisites of an enduring marriage is having an uncanny ability to dodge lamps, plates, and in the day LP's

Enjoy!

Thanks! I watched and listened to the whole thing. It was nice to see a young Johnny. Getting old is hell.

Funny. I was married to a Detroit girl and had to cover my ears when she yelled in her chainsaw voice. Luckily, that marriage ended in 1996 and I've been single ever since.

I avoid pharmaceuticals - and I bought myself a juicer at Walmart. I recommend juicing highly.

I am also a juicer. The book juicing for life is my nutritional guide

 

[Happy Hobbyist]

Too often, basic nutrition is overlooked when considering health and wellness. Our food supply is loaded with sodium, MSG, cholesterol and high fructose corn syrup. The medical industry doesn't want you well, they profit from treating your illnesses.

You think that's something I saw Hendriz, Rod Stewart, and even the Beachboys with Buffalo Springfield in 67 at Sanm houston Coliseum and Led Zepplin at the music theater next door a year later and Iron Butterfly at that round place in sharpstown with that rotating sta

You're a bit older than me. My first concert was Lynyrd Skynyrd/Charlie Daniels Band at the Coliseum in 1975. I was 16. The theater next door was The Music Hall. Nice little venue.
