Where To, Bud?

I don't know if it's old age or this , but I find myself no longer having to have that . This includes Stephen King novels, a new set of drums (although new cymbals would be nice!), the best guitar and clothes. I was also once crazy about men's fragrances, but the last one I bought was 5 years ago and it's still full. No, these days I could live very nicely on what income I (we) get and I still get my allowance every month from my wife, Dondra. Sometimes I use it all, sometimes I don't, but it's all I need. Okay, before y'all say, "Bull-SHIT, Bill", a small caveat: Yes, I do  like to look at guitars, and, if the price is cheap enough, I may  buy one, but the last one I bought was 3 years ago: my Paul McCartney copy bass. Clothes? Well, yeah. If something wears out, I'll tell Dondra what I need and she picks it up for me, but the last time we did that was last Summer. My allowance goes mostly for what little bills I incur: Doctor's v...

Yup, Dondra's birthday is the 11th, and I know she'd enjoy getting some well-wishes from our friends. She may be found on Facebook if you don't want to leave a comment here. I've taken care of my end, having gotten her favorite perfume which I ordered online. Speaking of which, since I've become very much a private person, my computer has really helped a lot in keeping in touch and keeping myself occupied. In other news, I'm still busy being "Brian Epstein" to COPPER SMOKE , an American Roots Rock band based in Würtzburg, Germany. I'm their unofficial PR rep here in the US, but they badly need some talent representation over there. They're booking their own gigs and doing their own publicity on various sites, but they badly need their "chance", because they're terrific musicians and Frank Halbig is a great songwriter. ==================================================== ==================================================== ...

First of all, yet another apology for the long time(s) between posts. I don't have an excuse my friends, so just imagine the "German Boy" standing before you, head bowed and taking whatever verbal punishment (well-deserved, I agree) there is in store for me. Just imagine yourselves as the editors and myself as one of your staff who hasn't turned in an article in months, and that should explain how I see this whole situation.......... OFFICE OF THE DAILY PLANET -  MORNING You, as "Perry White" are standing behind your desk - the cigar smoke so  dense one can only see a vague outline as any proof that it is really you - not   a good sign. PERRY (YOU, CLOSE TO SCREAMING)                                                                Captain Kirk's nipples, Craig!!!! Where have you been - at home w...

This is a test post to see if google has cleaned up its act.

Recently someone asked me, "What's your life like these days, Bill?" >Dementia, of course). I didn't have an answer then, but I think I do now........ It's like ordering a Coke, but what  is brought to the table is iced tea, and you don't realize it until you take that first swallow. That is to say, I  *never* know what I'm going to get till I experience a little of it. Then, I either make the best of it, or try to send  it back. So far, I've never just accepted it. (Sounds like a "Gumpism" doesn't it?) And you can quote me on that.  ================================================= ================================================= Old Friends Nice to have "met up" with an old friend from Germany recently. We hadn't talked in many years. So many in fact  that I thought she had passed away. Very nice to know she had not and we write one another now and then in e- mails and talk about old times. The time...
