mikesb---Did you get goofy and green for St. Paddy's Day?
I got some green on and went to a petition signing to get our Universal health coverage passed in Congress. We will all be the poorer if it doesn't pass. The whole country and world are watching! It's too important to get brushed under a carpet.
Not too much going on except my guitar lesson. Ry can be funneh at times. At the end of the lesson he said he wouldn't see me again util April. Taking off on a musician's mission!
Al-- Did you have a good time in Eire? Did ya see River Dance or the Chieftains? I heard Paddy Moloney has a new album out called "San Patricio".......ahh, I love the tin whistles, harps and uilleann pipes (Irish version of bagpipes, I guess). I imagine you look dashing in a green and orange kilt! I read that there is much to celebrate about bein' Irish! Books and western history were moved over the centuries by the Irish....and they got more civilized in the process--No more running into battle stark naked!! LOL!

We're gonna pay either way.
I watched my pop go through stage 4 colon cancer because he didn't have health insurance. Self employed small business ppl are pretty much screwed in terms of health insurance. F it. Somethings gotta give.
cba to post much this week.

My husband is self employed and he pays a fortune, as will I when I am laid off. I don't hear much about how to cut health care costs. The rising costs are the problem and the way it is structured so that those who have insurance or private pay are forced to pay for those who can't (or won't). I see far too many illegal aliens headed to our local hospital at 5 for their free "emergency" care. I think lawsuits and insurance companies are adding to the costs. From what I hear of the current bill, these problems are not solved. This is just another tax.

Smells like bullshit no matter how you slice it. Are we more damned if we do, or more damned if we don't? I have friends who work for small companies, and they don't have to offer their employees insurance. They work full time and have no health ins. Personally, I think the insurance companies are the #1 problem in America. They are the ones that need a foot up their bums!

I want the Congress and the Senate on the plan they approve for us. Notice how that is not on the table and that we pay for them and their families? They have not been serving us well.

I received my confirmation to attend the workshop on Monday at Sweetwater. I was congratulated by registering early and I got a seat in the performance theatre to watch Joe live. SWEET!!
However, Joe was intended to sign autographs, shake hands, and take pictures, but with the tour schedule (Hendrix Experience), he can't do it. On a positive note, he agreed to play more than he normally would for us and extend the Q&A portion of his workshop.
2 out of 3 ain't bad, don't you think?

Glitzman- What a positive attitude you have ! I know you where looking forward to having Joe sign your stuff.....Kudo's for being so understanding...
It does seem that Joe is on a tight schedule, hope not too hectic. Is it me or does recent media portray a rather slimmer Joe? Although he was slim to begin with. lol.

Thanks Peace and Skip. After Joe performs here on Monday, he's got to head to Akron, Ohio for another Hendrix Experience.
Speaking of slim, I'm getting a little slim myself. I'm at the edge of 150.
