Most Innovative Rock Guitarist Of All Time

Died 44 years ago, today. 🙁

The One Thing……

……We don’t have in Oklahoma, Thank God, is Mudslides……  Sorry to hear about the huge one just North of Seattle……  I think I would rather be sucked up in a Tornado than squashed and suffocated by tons of gooey Earth……  Our hearts go out to the community in Washington, and, I’m not making fun of […]

Another New Member!…..

Can you believe it!…..  Seems there’s more of us Non-Looby’s (ask Anon) out there that want to stand up and be counted……  I, MRambler, hereby officially welcome “Shadowgraph” to our ranks of the Super-intelligent, Know-it-all, Been There – Done That Community who “Say what we mean and Mean what we say”…..  Don’t expect any slack, […]

Back in OklaLooby…..

Yep, I’m back, trying to recover from packing in about a month and half’s worth of good times in 8 days (The 2 travel days don’t count, especially the 13 HOURS it took to get to Seattle due to flight delays)……  Getting settled back in slowly while trying to make some progress on a “To […]

It’s Pre-Turkey Day…You Turkeys…..

Happy Thanksgiving to the MR Community, one and all……  Writing this today, just in case tomorrow I will be too busy (eating, Eating, EATING), to think about such things as sending out a T-Day wish……  Have a safe and fun one…….

Jealousy – Smelishly…..

Right?….  No one’s Posting or commenting because I’m having a SUPER GREAT time in Seattle (Ha!)…..  The weather’s great – I brought all the OklaLooby sunshine with me and the temps are moderate with NO wind…..  Already been jammin’ and going out to listen to music tonight!…..  I know it has to end in less […]

I’ve Got It…..

Going to Seattle soon…..  The part I hate is going through Security…..  Here’s my plan…..  I’m wearing NOTHING but see-through underwear – no shoes, no pants, no shirt, etc……  My bags with all be transparent plastic and anything electronic I’ll ship a day or two ahead of departure…..  It may sound weird, but, that’s right […]

Jammin’ with Jimi….

Yep, I jammed with Jimi in downtown Seattle (Ha!)…..

TTop and Jek at McCartney

A fantastic show from Sir Paul, featuring an encore with a Nirvana reunion! He was in fine form, and Jek even got to hear a few of his favorite Wings obscurities. Massive pyrotechnics during “Live and Let Die” and a great “Helter Skelter” encore with Dave Grohl. Follow this link to the Flickr set for […]

If It’s Not One Thing…..

It’s Another…..  We finally got all the big fires out in Oklahoma….  We sent them to the West, including Washington state….  Sorry ‘Bout that!…..  I would say you Northwesters’ should move to Oklahoma where all the ground is already burnt, but, we have a much deadlier enemy now – West Nile Virus.….  The worst outbreak […]

Jim Marshall – R.I.P.

On April 5th, 2012, the Music World lost one of it’s most famous people…..  Not for being a musician, but for the creation in his garage of one of the most famous line of guitar amps known…..  Made even more famous by it’s use by Seattle’s own Jimi Hendrix….  Again, we have to say goodbye […]

Thunder Sonics……

Lost AGAIN!!!….  I think the Thunder Sonics have been taking lessons from Bob Stoops and the OU Football team…..  They have a great team during the regular season – Get in the Playoffs – Turn a 0-2 start into a 4 game winning streak getting them into the Finals….  Then they revert to their childhood […]

Happy Birthday, Jek!…..

Now, I’m not saying today is his Birthday – It might be tomorrow, or the next day,or, maybe even yesterday…..  Don’t want to give out too much personal information to the more than slightly off-center society that we live in today…..  Anyway, I’m sure Jek knows when his Birthday is, and, it’s around this time […]

Nearing the END!…..

I can’t believe it!…..  I just got here seconds ago, and, it’s already time to start packing to leave!….  IT’S NOT FAIR….  …But, it’s been great!…..  Stuffed about two months of serious goofing-off into nine (9) days (minus two (2) days of travel time – Where’s Scotty and all that beaming technology we’re supposed to […]

T-o-o Fast!…..

Already in the third day of my Seattle getaway!….  Going by – way, way too fast!…..  Already visited with Jimi – shot some video, checked-in with Anon, and lots of other fun stuff….  Going to hear some live music tonight, etc., etc…..  Working on a Jek ordained “MR To-Do List”…..  Nothing backbreaking, just some cool odds […]
