This text is marked out on my absentee ballot envelope.

The part that’s marked out says “United States Postal Service. Remember to add the correct postage.”

Does that mean that I can’t mail this in? If I can’t, what’s the point of voting absentee?

I wanted to replicate the broken wheel and roses theme we are all familiar with.

I found 2 wooden wheels from a Ford Model T. I cleaned them up and sprayed them with marine spar varnish to preserve the wood. I mounted them using some galvanized steel pipe and fittings.
I think they will look great when the roses are in full bloom again.

Pouring the Rain

Instead of saying it’s pouring rain, I sometimes hear people say pouring the rain. I remember my grandmother saying it. Anyone else? Is it an Appalachian thing?

I'm listening to this show and I was surprised by the Tennessee Jed opener. How rare was this?

Beautiful display case in a thrift store

I bet someone already bought it. They were asking $425.

I'm sure it's been asked before, but how many people die in Grateful Dead songs?

Me and my Uncle (3), El Paso (2, including the narrator), Jack Straw, (2).

What about Mr. Benson? Did he die? Give me more examples. I love a good murder ballad.

I have a thing for German archtops.

I bought the 1959 Framus Sorello yesterday. It has not been played in years and needs new strings, but the action is great. It joins my Migma that I bought a few years ago.

Elmwood Park is a little gem of a venue.

I lived in Roanoke for 10 years way back around 1985-1995. I remember going to see a few bands in Elmwood back then, but it was always pretty small, like area and regional bands.
I just saw Dark Star Orchestra last night and I was very impressed. You Roanokers should be proud to have such a nice little spot.
