Since I didn’t get any responses to my Friday the 13th post, I guess no one survived the 13th and I might as well close this place down…… …….NOT!….. I wonder if anything bad is supposed to happen on a Saturday the 14th?…… Hollywood made a lame-o movie by that name…..
Since I didn’t have good or bad luck yesterday, I wonder what today will bring?…… I guess being a “Bluesman”, I have no luck at all according to an old Blues classic…… Of course, the phrase, “No Luck at All”, probably means all bad luck, but, then again, if it means that you have neither good or bad luck, you’re stuck with using your own wits……. Uh-Oh, if that’s true, I’m in trouble…… Can I get a little “Amen” out there?……
Yep, a perfect way to start a Friday the 13th, we got heavy thunderstorms goin’ on right now, temperatures dropping, and even a chance of snow before the weekend is over….. Looks like we having our March weather in April…… Friday the 13th was explained in either “Angels and Demons” or “The Da Vinci Code”….. I can’t remember which, both books are by Dan Brown, and I read them fairly close together…… Something about the mass murder of the protectors of the “Holy Grail”, I think…… Of course, I don’t know how much of this was based on fact, and since we’re talkin’ centuries ago, how do they know if it was a Friday or the 13th?……
This should be my good luck day based on way things normally go the rest of the time….. At least, nothing’s happened yet, but it’s still early in the day……. Why is my computer l-o-ck-i-n-g up?…..

Here’s a good New York Times article about the bad moves made by record labels and the RIAA which hastened the demise of the music store: Spinning Into Oblivion
A quote:
The major labels wanted to kill the single. Instead they killed the album. The association wanted to kill Napster. Instead it killed the compact disc. And today itâs not just record stores that are in trouble, but the labels themselves, now belatedly embracing the Internet revolution without having quite figured out how to make it pay.
Fortunately we have Silver Platters here. They seem to have figured out how to be profitable in Seattle and are even expanding.
My 2007 Jimi Hendrix calendar has the following dates highlighted for the Easter season this year: April 6 – Good Friday, April 8 – Easter Sunday, and April 9 – Easter Monday….. The first two I’ve known about all my life, but, What is Easter Monday?….. Has the bunny population got so out of hand that we need an extra day for Easter, is it an official Monday-type holiday, or am I just not schooled enough in religion to know what it is?……
Maybe it is the day we are supposed to observe Easter and we do it on Sunday for convenience….. Something about three days?…… Anyway, everyone have a Happy E-Day or days as the case may be……

God, I hope not!….. Anyone seen this award winning documentary on the environment by our former second-in-command?….. Seems a lot of Senators think it’s way off the mark and that Al Boy is just using the whole thing as a scam to boost his political status….. I’d like to hear some opinions….. I personally never cared much for the man….. He just has that look that makes you not want to turn your back on him…… A male version of Hillary….. Wasn’t there something about a “Lock Box” the last time he ran for office?…… I wonder where that box is now?…….
In my box set by The Doors, there are some live recordings….. A song called “Someday Soon” was recorded live at the Seattle Center in 1970…. I was just wondering if anyone (Anon) knew what kind of musical venue they had around the “Needle” in 1970…… I wonder if it was indoors or outdoors or just The Doors…..
