Hey Gaz, good to see you back, along with the others.

Miss Ollie showed up on a Facebook post a few months ago and it was a sad reminder of how poor of a substitute Facebook was.

Aww Shucks Guys...

Thank You for the welcome back. I was Jonesing Hard! DTs & All!! Sadly, I didn’t use Miss Ollie as much as I would have liked. But she won’t be retired anytime soon. Nothing beats a great day on the water- Still. Ironically, sometimes you just don’t realize how great & special a time you had until you look back in pictures.

I was “strummin’ my pain [ with his fingers... (from “Killing me softly with his song”)]” gigging a lot; this Summer! I’m having fun playing with, & mentoring, my younger talented nephews. I have to upload more vids of us, especially at Danford’s Marina. Brian, percussionist on the cajon is my nephew through marriage & the silent big guy - who really sings well when he knows the song is my grandnephew - I’ll call him great [nephew] once he makes his first record. Lol.

https://youtu.be/5BA4KwEr-pg Brian & I gig as a group calling ourselves ‘Cuz’, short for cousins. -& cuz we can; lol.

Anywho-
The boat’s tucked under a 14 mil clear tarp in the driveway now... Waitin for Summer 8)

I just watched the video; nicely done. I’m guessing you’re the guy with the beard. :)

:D :D :D I’m the old Man now!

I Love music, Like I love the water. They’re both Organic :wink:

Ok, this link isn’t about me; just sharing a channel that I really enjoy & this song which connects us all...

https://youtu.be/_Ca5QoXSe18 Hey I did that too! https://youtu.be/UGvavfBYWLw God I miss Marathon & Duck Key :cry: ...


But my other favs here are:

Listen to the Music; The Weight... La Bamba ´cause I Love Los Lobos &: Yo no soy marinero - Soy Capitan 8)

[I’m not just a sailor - I’m the Captain 8) ]

Gaz capo'ed up three frets to get to JT's key?? Huh, would not expect that from a big guy like him. :D

Oh, I take that back - looked closer - that's up two frets with an open D7 chord so your singing in the key of E

That's the original key - Gaz has the big mans voice!

thanks to Russ for changing my User name to Todd; I have been a minimal poster/mostly reader of mods over the past few years. I'd rather be on a first name basis with this group. Happy to see the site back up and running as I have a lot of projects due in the spring. I thought I would reintroduce my boat Snowdrifter-- originally from Utah and then New Mexico. Currently tucked away next to my house waiting for attention. I attached a few pics using the new feature which is fantastic because I never did figure out the other method.
