Blogitista Can Live a Magical Life -- I Have the Magic Key!

Today I was reading blogs quickly, closing them and then going back later and re-clicking on them to try to remember what they were about. My favorite blog of the day was about the ability of normal, every day human beings living a magical life. Now, unless you actually experience this phenomenon,... Sign in to see full entry.

My Personal Communications with Ariala Revealed!

Re-reading my past post in this space I realize that I was guilty of posting a blog at variance with its headline. Therefore, to keep my good name in tact I shall conform to the suggestion in the current headline, my personal communications with Ariala, the Great! Ariala and I are like this (peace...

Is Ariala Back? Huh? She's Not? Well, call me the minute she is!

I just talked back to KlaraRoberts, and I feel it was justified. There is such a crushing pressure to conform that it really has me worried. A) we hire new teachers all the time and retire old ones, because we would go bankrupt if we didn't. B) The methodologies being taught at the University level... Sign in to see full entry.

He sang that song, and I shouted out: "That was terrible!"

I think I must have lost my freakin' mind. But, now you guitar players back me up on this. To play with your finger tips is one thing in the house, or alone or crooning to your sweetie. But imagine standing in front of four tables of patrons, there to be entertained, and playing guitar without a... Sign in to see full entry.

How can I hate such an American Tradition? (Do not read this post)

Everybody loves something and you are supposed to love it as well. And you don't How do you feel about that? How do you justify your life if you are not just like everybody else? Well, I hate that song, "...well the legend lives on from the Chippawa on down..." I have nothing against the Native... Sign in to see full entry.

It has happened again. I have posted about it, I have tried to avoid it,

I have really given my all: and like clockwork every day it happens! A student who doesn't wish to comply, prefers instead the negative attention gleaned from a confrontation and an argument with the teacher. The asssignment is taking dictation. "Write exactly what you hear." It is the final phase... Sign in to see full entry.

My Micro-World: "Viva comunismo! Viva la revolucion!"

I have lots of old friends I know I will never see again, having lived in two states for more than two decades each. Now last weekend, my sister-in-law threw a surprise birthday party for my little brother. She chose a culinary school and restaurant on the north side of Tucson. At precisely the...

Four Satuday Nights in a Row People, Live People, as Audience

I sing James Taylor, Willie Nelson and the Beatles. People might be yelling: "Moonlight in Vermont!" after they start to prefer the jazz band that plays every other Friday Night, gratis. The folk music pretty much begins with the 40's "Long Black Veil", 50's Kingston Trio, Billy Ed Wheeler, and... Sign in to see full entry.

One of the other bands donatig their talents at Robert Brothers' Coffee Bar

is a "blues-driven jazz guitarist" who has a lot of experience. He also has a full-time job elsewhere during the day, and, like me, enjoys performing without the pressure to draw a large enough crowd to offset the $75.00 per, that lounge acts generally earn. Last night I was truck driver, roadie and... Sign in to see full entry.

My Student Teacher taught me something about myself today!

IBM World Trade Manager once told me, "Mike, there is a different way to motivate each individual." I had forgotten that phrase, although it was one of my first blogs, about a million years ago -- last month. I have not had real great success supervising the young women in my department. I feel the... Sign in to see full entry.
