Ramblin' Post in Port Angeles

No school today and recent polls show Lincoln is the most popular American president, at least on this President's Day, 2008. With a Monday holiday, one would think more of my colleagues would venture out to the Junction on a winter's evening, but only a few did including the ever-photogenic Emily at left next to a smiling Paul. Today the sun is shining in Port Angeles after weeks of pewter skies, snow, rain, and drizzle. The streets downtown are still dug up, making things like going to the bank or a restaurant difficult. But it's only temporary. Larry returned to the jam last night and helped us with a new (old) song, "Wasn't Born to Follow." The key will be changed to Eb, not that it matters to any but a few guitar players who won't be pleased at all, especially those who refuse to use a capo. Oh well...rule: the singer gets to choose the key, but not the dress code...I was only kidding about flannel shirts and gingham pants! Apparently no one has any gingham pants, but flannel was well-represented. Well done.
Guitar Instruction Tip #19: There's a reason it's called the "F" chord so buck up and keep trying.
