Exactly one year ago today we lost one of my all-time favorite musicians. I've been a since the mid 70's and have loved Jimmy's music for decades. I will be a fan until I pass! 🦜🐋🌴🌊🌅🌴

Thirty four years ago today we lost my favorite guitarist and a fellow Texan. I was distraught and saddened by his passing. SRV will always be in the number one position as long as I live! 🎸🥁🎹🎙🎵

Terry Allen tells a story about him and Guy Clark in Birmingham before singing o e Clark's best tunes, "Old Friends". Old friends can usually be counted on one hand. I lost one on Monday. 🙏🙏🙏

If you are contemplating buying a new Smartphone you might want to consider keeping the old phone a little longer. Even though I performed Smart Switch which transfers all data and apps (even WhatsApp went through for the first time), I still had to sign in to almost every app and wait for a code or authorization to proceed. Instagram was insane and I now have to wait a couple more days for "additional security items" for it to go through and able able to use the app)! Urrrrgh! 😡😠🤬

A tribute to my best friend and brother who just passed. 🙏🙏🙏

For Tim McGee my brother from a different Mother.     We were into fast cars, beautiful women and classic rock n roll! We both loved the Byrds and found each other through their music. We bought all their albums and eight track tapes (don’t laugh that was the apex of music in your automobile [.....

If you have HBO Max, I highly recommend "The Commandant's Son". It brings together the son of the Auschwitz Berkenau's Commandant and a survivor who only escaped the gas chambers because she played Cello. It is a very frank discussion and will make you think about the antisemitism that is transpiring in the world today. Bring your kleenex!

Two lives. Two stories. One wall that divided them. Witness the historic moment over 70 years after the Holocaust when the son of the Commandant of Auschwitz...

Definitely one of the greats in the arena. John helped so many musicians advance their career. I followed the Bluesbreakers, his band for over a decade! RIP John Mayall! 🙏🎸🎵🎙🙏

John Mayall, the pioneering British blues rock legend whose band helped launch Fleetwood Mac, Cream, and more, has died at the age of 90.

An iconic place for those of who lived in Austin in the 70's. It drew many new talents and a great deal of major acts. It was definitely the start of blending Cowboys and Hippies. The beer was always cold and the Guacamole Queen always made an excellent dip. I can't remember how many times I listened to great artists in the Armadillo but I know it was much more than twenty. Hard to believe it was fifty years ago.

The Armadillo World Headquarters was a legendary 70’s Austin music venue, and the brand has relaunched with the goal of celebrating the music, culture and va...

Obviously one of Cheryl Crow's biggest hits. I think she is playing a Gibson Hummingbird and I am sure someone will validate this or correct me. This was produced roughly thirteen years ago and it hits home with this old man. 💖🎸🎙🥁🎹🎵

"I'm Gonna Soak Up Some Sun" by one of my favorites, Cheryl Crow. I was lucky enough to watch her concert at Zilker Park in Austin at the ACL Music Fest on September 16, 2004. This was when she was seeing Lance Armstrong and before he was discovered taking PEF's. Wonderful tune and I still listen to her tunes!

In my thirties my brother told me I was gaining too much weight and should train again on my old Juenet bicycle. I couldn't ride for 5 minutes and realized he was correct. I have followed the Tour de France for decades and was privileged to watch the team trials in Brussels in 2019. This "young man", Mark Cavendish eclipsed Eddie Merckx's record of 34 stage wins at the age of 39. After Cavendish broke his collarbone last year and other issues over the past few years he finally attained the record. One for the "old guys"! 🚲🚲🚲

Mark Cavendish crushed the field in a masterful bunch sprint to claim a record-breaking 35th victory on the Tour de France when he prevailed in the fifth stage; Cavendish breaks the record previously held jointly with Eddy Merckx

Growing up in Texas I obviously was interested in Rodeo during my 74 years on this planet. This Bucking Bull was the hardest ride in the arena and what's more he knew it. He was only ridden once for the full 8 seconds and that is debatable in my opinion. RIP Bushwhacker! They broke the mold when you were created! 🤠💖🐂🏆

Every single bull rider and every fan knew the name 'Bushwacker'. On July 2, what is quite possibly the 'Greatest Bull of All Time' passed away quietly and pea

Dinner last evening at Casa Tradicional Cocina Mexicana. I haven't been to this restaurant in three years and the manager recognized me. Small world. The food and service is excellent. I always get the Carnitas Michoacan.

One of my favorite actors Donald Southerland has passed away. He was iconic in the Mash TV series and starred in Kelly's Heroes, the Dirty Dozen, Straw Dogs, Steelyard Blues, Animal House and Hunger Games. RIP HAWKEYE! You will be missed by many!

His celebrated career also included turns in 'The Dirty Dozen,' 'Klute,' 'Don't Look Now,' 'Animal House' and 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers.'

Definitely one of the greatest baseball players in MLB. Willie was probably the best all around or 5 tool player in history. I was privileged to meet him at a card signing event in California in the 90's with my oldest son. He was very cordial and nice to us both. RIP "The Say Hey Kid", Willie Mays. You will be missed greatly! 🙏😭⚾️🏆⚾️

Willie Mays, the "Say Hey Kid" who left an indelible mark on baseball, with his name a constant throughout the sport's hallowed record book, died Tuesday. He was 93.

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall written by Bob Dylan when the world was on the cusp of nuclear war in the early sixties for the first time. This isn't one song, it's a thousand. It's life and death, love and hate and even after sixty years it still gives me tears and chills!

Ramblin Man with Billy Strings paying tribute to Dickey Betts who passed on a few days ago. He played this in St Augustine, Florida as he kicked off his 2024 tour. Great talent who was acknowledged by an old friend as someone I should listen to! They were correct!

One of the best guitar players from the 70's and was instrumental in keeping the Allman Brothers together after the loss of Duane Allman and Berry Oakley. Southern Rock was set in motion by several bands from the south. None better than the Allman Brothers from Macon Georgia. At Fillmore East, Brothers and Sisters, along with Eat a Peach were early classic albums that defined the group's genre! RIP Dickey Betts!
🎸🎵🎹🎙🥁🪕🎼

He traded licks with Duane Allman and proved to be a worthy sparring partner. He also wrote, and sang, the band’s biggest hit, “Ramblin’ Man.”

How did I miss this? My favorite cruise line has filed the F1 paperwork with the SEC for an IPO. I am surprised, as Torstein Hagen has always kept a close eye on his business. Bloomberg has estimated the move would bring $500M to the company, but when you go public you lose control, unless you purchase a majority of the shares.

Came across this total on X in a post. He climbed Mt Everest without oxygen or a sherper and made it to within a couple hundred meters of the peak. He cycled all the way from Sweden to Base Camp and after helping recover several climbers caught in a blizzard he got back on his bicycle and returned the 8,000 miles or 13,000 kilometers back to his home in Sweden. 🚲💪🚵‍♂️

Definitely got sober twenty years ago after my heart attack. My BP meds and alcohol don't mix! Probably the best thing that's happened to me in a while and it is a darn sight cheaper! An Oliver Anthony type of day! 💖🎸🎤🎶
