Dear Tree Sloth

Without the stimulus the GDP would've gone into a nose dive taking the markets with it. At the same our financial institutions would've collapsed stopping all investment. Unemployment woud've risen as high as 20%, and we would all be in the Second Great Depression. Now get this i...

In 1972 I was playing a new song in Quebec City, Canada that I'd just written and someone commented that it sounded a little like Shaw Phillips. I'd never heard of him before, but I remembered his name. When I asked around people looked at me like I had two heads. It seems he was a cult star in ...

Hey! great to hear the L-07, sorry it took so long to respond. Great tune with a lot of east coast Canadian flavor to it. I would say nice guitar but then it would sound a little gratuitous since it's identical to mine. Enjoy! hgaskins

We can't all have war mongering idiots as presidents such as George Bush, but then you must be an idio...

And thus we listen too the passing of an age that will be missed, and few will be missed more than Lennon. He was a tuning fork for us all. We vibrated and he painfully caught them all, and then gave us great songs to remember them by.

Jay, you might want to skip Ruination. Stone IPA's are a Hop-Head's dream as far as beers go. I love Pale ale's and adore good IPA's. My preference is of course always the West coast IPA's since I generally find East coast IPA'a too malty (when moderate hops meets Newcastle) . Too hoppy and too b...
