More snow. Yay.



At least I saw plows today, which is much more than I can say following the 2 feet we got last week...

I didn't, actually! We ended up taking Drew's MINI to Madison, which is where I buy tires (dirt cheap) so not this time!

Although my all-season Kumhos have been pretty much rock-star quality so far in the snow!

It is warming up to the mid 40s on Thursday. I think I am washing the MINI. You with me Lotsie?

Gonna be picking up the brother-in-law at the airport, so I want it to be nice and shiny.

I haven't played piano in years. I thought about it today and decided I am not sure I could successfully locate middle C, it's been so long.

hahahahaha. Atleast that's a real instrument, unlike guitar-shela.

Yah, I want something I can use on the fly and just concentrate on piano-ing.

Thing about the XR20 is that it has a lot of the most popular samples pre-installed so no need to tweak it. Quick funky groove and I just practice solo's over it. Over and over and over and over and over and...

My daughter bought the Beatles Rock Band 'game' for me with drum set and guitar.

I now have a greater respect for Ringo.

I saw an interview with Joe Perry at his home after GH Aerosmith had been out for a bit - his teenage son was shredding on the game - Joe said "yeah, he whips me at this all the time - I'm not very good".

Funny.

GH Guitar # real guitar.

However, GH drums actually teach you some drumming fundamentals...
