...submitted for your...


This popped up on my phone this AM...

Now, since this has been an 'off 'n on' topic of late, Mikes' MHO vid pretty much encapsulates the general ennui expressed over B&M shops fading away, the high and rising cost of 'our level of quality equipment', and all the reasons and rationales for the SOTA becoming 'out of reach' for all except the most dedicated 'philes.

And Yes, a run-on sentence that isn't my usual terse twaddle.

So be it; lets' have fun with this, please.

If extinction is to be our lot, we can afford to be noisy about it. ;)

Rant 'n rave, dear friends.

I think the same as you...😊

But he make me smile and surprize me sometimes or laugh at me sometimes or just putting nonsense i dont understand ...

We all have our own Groucho...

 

My very best to you...

@mahgister

Haha, I’m not sure Groucho Is a legit spiritual guide!

 

 
 

 

 

"Coffee is my Spirit Animal" (magnet on the side of our coffee maker....)...

Very apropos....and Groucho as guide may not be as bad as some choices...😏

Mikes' <10min.is a tidy summation, mho....and we can always make claim to being the shock(ed) troops forcing the sota to 'new levels'...👍

"Some are happy to stay home, but there's always going to be those who think Mars is a legit goal...." (A bit forced of an analogy, but my 'drifts' are like that...*G*)

Oh.....hi. *S*

According to wikipedia, Groucho was a Vaudeville performer who sang and played guitar...so perhaps it's not quite as far-fetched a notion, after all. . . 

 

 

Except my imaginary Groucho is not wise like the real one, and i dont play guitar...

I am sorry for all that... 😁

Understood...I tried to 'get' guitar, but my muscle memory wasn't up to it.....

"I shoulda' learned to play the guitar,
I shoulda' learned to play them drums
..."
Woulda' been more successful at that.... 🤷‍♂️  Knopfler later commented:

"The lead character in ‘Money for Nothing’ is a guy who works in the hardware department in a television/custom kitchen/refrigerator/microwave appliance store. He’s singing the song. I wrote the song when I was actually in the store. I borrowed a bit of paper and started to write the song down in the store. I wanted to use a lot of the language that the real guy actually used when I heard him, because it was more real. It just went better with the song, it was more muscular. I actually used ‘little faggot,’  (...which got the song banned in the UK for awhile) but there are a couple of good ‘mo_my edits_uckers’ in there. I wanted to do a second version that way but I never had time. I’d still love to be able to do it. Even if just the band had it, because it would be the real version. I mean that is the way people speak. I think people still get the general idea. You can use other words that will suggest the general feel."

("...I shoulda' went back and gave him song cred,
but I didn't and I'm a millionaire..")....and a rip-off Brit, you snot *L*

Ev 'n I got to see them live in SF @ The Old Waldorf 3/31/79, 5th row...great show...

One of the guys lit a cigarette, stuck a 'fay' pose as an opening for 'Les Boys". so their gay teasing had history....starting with 'Sultans of Swing'...

The 'Old Waldorf' never was 'old', and is now know as the Punch Line comedy club...and is part of a line of high rises and always has been... ;)

Don't be sorry for either....I liked Groucho for his one-liners and wit, but would always pause to hear Harpo play his harp....always entertaining, and proof that silence has its' benefits....you never have to worry 'bout the taste of shoe leather.

Because of my admiration of Harpo, I took in a small concert of 4 harpists back in Houston....playing jazz harp...👍😆😊....a good waste of time, and atypical for TX.

Time to put the memory mechanism into park, since I'd wander off into lanes untold.
