I don’t know why,
but I have been playing a lot of acoustic lately.
I am enjoying the rawness of it.
Anyway,
Here’s an old 80’s tune from the Nelson Brothers.
Remember the Nelson twins?
Probably not.
I totally forgot about them as well.
I just remembered them after watching
“The Suite life of Zack and Cody” marathon.
What?
The twins are funny!
I like the Disney channel.

Good news.
The Dark Crystal, one of my favourite Jim Henson classics, will have a sequel.
Bad News.
Rumours of massive setbacks are threatening the production.
With all the politics involved, chances are, it’s going to suck.

Good news.
Mr. Big, one of my favourite Rock Bands, will be reunited for a tour.
Bad news.
A tour only in Japan.

Good news.
I got an iPhone.
A device full of technological enjoyment.
Bad news.
I got an iPhone
A device that makes me Apple and AT&T’s bitch.
Thank you to all who remembered!
And even though yesterday’s party lasted about 24 hours,
I was still able to play and record this song.
I waited til my birthday was over, so I can post this one.
Yes, I know.
Pathetic.
No matter.
Here is “Older Guy”

Am I the only one who just
sits down and think about everything around him,
and realize that
everything is just
a blur?
It’s like I am looking at the world around me and
I am not sure if the blur was because of my eyes,
or because of my dirty eyeglasses,
or maybe because of the world itself.
And I do not know which one to clean.
—
Did that make any sense at all?
Of course it didn’t.
Man, I need to lay off on the Xanax.
I negotiate in my prayers.
“Dear Baby Jesus,
Can I please, please, please, please, please
have this..
I promise to be good.
Thank you.
Amen.
PS – You can take the cat for collateral.”
We’ve had her for a while now,
But let me introduce to you.
Tyra , the kitty.
Tyler named her Tyra.
But everybody calls her Kitty.
I call her KITTAH!
I never had a cat before, and I must admit,
I like having her around.
Especially when she purrs like there’s no tomorrow.
Plus the fact that I don’t have to go out and walk her.
She practically takes care of herself.
Bathes herself.
Plays by herself.
Cats are a perfect, lazy-person’s pet.
And,
She usually shoves her face under my armpit when she sleeps.
Hey, what can I say.
The pussycat loves me.
(grin)
From time to time I go over the archives on this site
just for me to check for grammatical errors, coding mistakes
and sometimes more writing ideas.
Then I saw this post –> Click here
which was from two years ago.
And I saw in the comments
a song request from Kristine,
who was my “original music promoter” back in the day.
Your Body Is A Wonderland.
By John Mayer
I have played this music before,
but I never really got to polish it.
And also,
it is her birthday today.
And because I can’t send her gifts,
I thought of re-visiting this arrangement of mine,
see how it comes out and send it to her.
So here’s

On a different note,
There’s also one more thing I was wondering at,
as I watch a whole lot of TV and read a lot of celebrity gossips.
With regards to John Mayer,
I seem to always see him all over the news, in both Hollywood and the Music scene.
I have seen him play with great guitar players and legendary musicians.
I never really listened to his music, but I gather he’s pretty good
that he gets to be invited to play in major music concerts.
Anyway.
That wasn’t the reason why he got my attention.
The reason why I am talking about him,
is not about why he’s all over the news.
I am talking about him
because of the celebrity women he dated.
According to my research,
he has dated the likes of Jennifer Love Hewitt,
Vanessa Carlton, Jessica Simpson,
Minka Kelly and now Jennifer Aniston.
I mean, there must be something about him
that these women find sexy and attractive.
So I got into thinking,
we got a couple of things in common.
He’s a musician.
I’m a musician.
He plays guitar.
I play guitar.
He sings.
I sing.
Not as good as him, that’s for sure.
But I see that he gets noticed by these beautiful women.
So, maybe.
Just maybe.
If I play his songs.
Maybe just this one song.
John Mayer will also date me.
That would be fabulooooouuuus!
Wait.
I went a wrong turn there somewhere.

Happy Birthday, Kristine!

A couple of days ago,
while I was on the verge of death with the flu,
I get to do one of my all time remedies of keeping my sanity.
I watch TV.
It is one way for me to realize that
there are a lot of crazy people out there.
Crazier than me.
And I should feel bad for them.
But that wouldn’t stop me from sharing with you
What I think about what’s on different TV shows.
So take a deep breath.
Here we go.
A couple of days ago,
I was playing my guitar,
and my son was playing his Legos.
As much as how busy he was with his engineering skills,
he somehow managed to listen to the music I was playing.
I happen to be playing this –> Click here.
Something with a catchy beat.
Then he started drumming the table.
In sync to my playing,
he kept on drumming.
As we both finish,
he said, and I quote:
“Daddy, someday we’re gonna have a band,
I play the drums and you play the guitar.”
I said,
“That would be awesome!”
He said,
“Yeah, and the name of our band would be … Sun Break.”
“Sun Break?”
I asked.
“Why Sun Break?”
He answered.
“Because that’s the name of our band.”
“Okay.” I answered gleefully.
Then he asked,
“What was the name of that song?”
I said, “Maybe I’m a Leo.”
“Okay.” He answered.
“But we’re gonna name it Skeleton Maybe I’m a Leo.”
“Why?” I asked again.
He said,
“Because it would sound more cool.”

I rest my case.
So you heard it here my friends.
Here on denofmusic.com
This is where you first read about “Sun Break.”
The band of the future.
