Let’s try this again.

Okay.
I just renewed this domain name and my host subscription.
Let’s see how we’re going to revive this site.

I have been uninspired for so long
and have been stuck on a sour note.
It’s time to look for other means of movement.

Plus I need to remind myself that I have this website to write to.
Also, I should keep in mind that those social networking sites are not mine.
I just use them to extend this site’s reach.

Even though it is easier to access those sites
and able to comment on them seamlessly,
I realized I still have some loyal visitors,
Who even though I haven’t updated this in so long,
I still see them come back, as it shows on my link referrers.

So.
Now!
Watch out for some new stuff.
Let’s see how we’re going to liven up “The Den.”

…

Errr. Anybody got any ideas?

Here’s another song I have been jamming to,
these past few days.

Immigrant Song
Music by Led Zeppelin.
Guitars by – Ty Martell



Mobile Player here:

It’s quite timely and controversial too,
with all the immigration and border issues
in the U.S. these days.

So I thought I’ll do this song,
because I am a controversial man,
and I like to stir the shit from time to time.

We are all Immigrants.
All of us have experienced migrating
from one place to another.

Whether it be another town, state or country.
We all have experienced the hardships of fitting in
and the hopes of being accepted.

You have to find your purpose in life.
Even if it takes you far away.

Take me for instance.

I came here from a far away place,
On a quest to find the “Continuum Transfunctioner.”
To stop it from destroying the universe.

Hail Zoltan!

Souvenir – Eric Johnson

Souvenir

It finally came today!!!
Souvenir – by Eric Johnson.
I ordered this CD about a week ago.
And it finally came today! Wooohoooo!!!!!

A compilation of his early recordings which truly deserves to be acknowledged.
Why? Because it’s brilliant!
From Blues Rock to Bluegrass to Jazz and a bit of Pop.

And of course, Eric’s (in)famous tone perfection.

It starts off with a slide guitar blues style called “Get to go”.
I just truly love the power on those Chords.
I have no idea where he comes up with them.

Then check out the Techno voice version of The Beatles’ “Paperback Writer”.
The first time I heard it, I am telling you
I loved it so much, I was frothing in the mouth.

And the reason I wanted this CD so bad is for the song “I’m finding you”.
This never fails to bring a tear in my eyes.

I first heard and saw him perform that song at
Austin City Limits, way back in the early 90’s (I think).
Then I have been looking for this song ever since.

I have checked and called all CD Stores here in Canada and the States.
I have emailed Austin City Limits, PBS Network, Guitar Magazine,
even left a message on Eric Johnson’s website.
I have also posted on message boards asking about the song, but to no avail.

My only solution was to play it on my guitar solely from memory.
And boy did it suck, but hey, I got my fix.

On the whole, I give this Album a perfect 10.
This CD is Beautificent!!

Thanks to Tracy for buying it for me!
