May 2, 2024 Beautiful day at Fenway park, even though the Red Sox lost to SF. After the game I met up w/ Scott Shetler from "The Hot Tamale Brass Band". He played a beautiful Bach piece on his Steel Clarinet--you don't see those everyday. Enjoy.

I just discovered this GREAT TOOL for splitting wood. "SnugNiture". I wish my father was around to see this....So much better than the old fashion spike wood splitter. I've had wood spikes fly into my legs and feet too many times to remember. There must be a better way and there is, "SnugNiture" wood splitter, cost about $80 and well worth not getting hit by the spike anymore...5 STAR Product!

From the 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Credited to Lennon–McCartney. Credits to KIRBYSCOVERS video, he's great! Has all the parts. Did it in "one take", hope you like it. Kirbyscovers link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8Psp...

Yes "My Way". Frank Sinatra style singer Rich DiMare was at The Regent Theater the other night, so I learned "My Way"--to play and sing in front of the Theater. Hope you like it, original "Key'. Thanks to KirbysCovers. From Wiki--"My Way" is a song popularized in 1969 by Frank Sinatra set to the music of the French song "Comme d'habitude" composed by Jacques Revaux with lyrics by Gilles Thibaut and Claude François[1][2] and first performed in 1967 by Claude François. Its English lyrics were written by Paul Anka and are unrelated to the original French song.

David Bowie's 1974 hit "Rebel Rebel". Me and my Guitar Down by the Mystic River w/ "Jo Jo". Not sure what that "Hum" is?--oh well Hope you like it. Credits: KirbysCovers
