It's roll on Columbia, roll on.

And here I thought lusting after guitars was behind me.

Jammin' Me has been on my daily playlist for the past couple of months. It seems like a song of the times, for some reason.

Dada, month before last. Mike Gurley is a guitar God, but the sound was way too loud for the room. I had Donald Fagen tickets for last month, but he canceled.

Dad took me to see Brewer and Shipley at the college chapel. We had no idea what a "toke" was. They were pretty good. Played more than a few Dylan covers. Great harmonies and great, big Guild guitars.

I'd go with Aja, Two Against Nature, and Katy Lied. Though I've probably listened more to Becker's 1st solo album than any Dan record in the past few years. I really like that record! I've really been trying to get into his second record, Circus Money, since yesterday. It has some great lyrics...

The 3M kit worked like a charm. It came with three grades of velcro backed paper for the disk. The first two dry grades made quick work of the foggy surface layer. Then there's a wet wheel used to polish the lens with water. Finally there's a foam disc used with a polishing compound. The kit...

Eerily, I was just going out to the garage to do this on my truck headlamps. I got the 3M kit from Amazon this week.
