What's your stance on folk punk? I love it. Ghost mice are brilliant.

I’m not familiar at all. Would the Stranglers or Pogues count?

I guess, there's a lot of recent stuff that is more 'archetypal' like e.g.

Oh, and

You guys want some blues, I happen to be a pretty decent blues guitarist with a deep knowledge of the history of it, as well as musical theory and interesting facts.

A lot of people love to listen to blues, and there are many different subtypes, as well as some that call themselves the blues but really aren't.

Now this isn't any sort of folk wisdom, but common sense tells us anyone and everyone can admire the blues because of the feeling (i would get fancy about dominant 7ths right now but let's not). Which can range from Rock and Roll to soul to sadness.

But to play them, well, requires pain on top of being handy with instrument, which is the redemption, cure, salve, whatever you want to believe. I could not, to save my own soul, play the blues for half my life. But then the other half happened, and now I can.

Delta, Texas, electric, Chicago, Cincinnati, as blues rolled up the rivers to the North. Detroit native Hank Ballard of the Midnighters, who originally wrote "The Twist" in 1958, before Chubby Checker' cover made it infamous in 1960. Nobody remembers Hank for it.

With that said, here is one of the most painful blues clips you'll ever watch, another Hank Ballard cover, but particularly blue, partially because Jeff Healey was blind, and both Stevie Ray and Jeff and Hank are gone from this world.

Hank Ballard wrote this song, watched one of his proteges crash in a chopper, died of cancer, and then Jeff followed him into the blues afterlife, also from cancer.

And kids today have practically no memory or appreciation for this. At least not yet.

This is blues written by a doomed man, played by two doomed men. Few things are heavier.

I still have a bunch of star wars toys from the 70s and early 80s. A fraction of what I had as a kid, all well played with. Some are valuable, but it’s really about the nostalgia.

For vinyl, record store days are a lot of fun. They will often release limited pressings of rare recordings that can become pretty desirable. It’s a cool event to participate in.

We were going to get rid of a Barbie Playhouse that my daughter had, until a friend of my Wife told here they were work money in good condition, as much as $750. We gave it to here to sell at a flea market, it was not in perfect condition and she got $250 for it

The closest I get to Punk Music is the Ramones...and for some reason, even though I don't own one single album of theres, if they are played on the radio, I have to listen to them all the way to the end

I saw the Ram Ones, as I like to call them twice. They were awesome.

When I was 12 I was headed to military school and gave all of my Toys to a poor kid in the neighborhood who had only sticks to play with and rarely had socks. He was in shock and thought I was trying to play a trick on him.
