The Beatles Liverpool showed up on the way from Lancaster to Cambridge. Should I stop and look around? Pose by the statue? At the very least, sing a few Beatles songs on the way by? Me: Honey, take a music video of the Beatles Liverpool sign, and me singing. Her: Really?
GUITAR PLAYERS OF THE PAST
My guitar friends say guitar players are the same from every era. Unlike current critics of the NBA who say past greats played against milkmen and plumbers and wouldn’t survive in today’s game, musicians from the past are just a request away. Or a documentary. I recently saw The Wrecking Crew.
BLOGGER’S ROLE? IT DEPENDS ON . . . ?
The blogger’s role depends on context. And money. If someone offered you $25,000 per post, and they give suggestions? Come on, you’d listen, I’d listen. Who wouldn’t listen? But who would start writing?
MORE FOOD? IT’S NOT A QUESTION
There’s more food on the table. Have another plate. If it’s Super Bowl Sunday you’ll ruin your team’s chances if you don’t gorge yourself. The barbecued little sausages won’t eat themselves. Grab a toothpick. Homemade Buffalo wings? Right there.

Every branded blogger works their site like a farmer. They prep the page, sew the seeds (words,) and irrigate. But the best branded bloggers do more than irrigate. They irritate. It goes like this:
LIFETIME MISTAKE TO CHANGE?
Have you made a lifetime mistake? Better yet, have you done it quietly so no one would notice? Good job. Now, since we’re all getting down the road with less lifetime in front than in back, in theory, you want to change, you want to fix that mistake. Good luck.
SUIT CASE AND GUITAR?
“On a tour of one night stands, my suitcase and guitar in hand.” With my biggest fan.
