Salt Creek Gazette: Back to Bluegrass - A New Technique Saves Blogger From Jamlessness
http://saltcreekgazette.blogspot.com/2010/01/your-humble-blogger-may-have-found.html
Friday, January 1, 2010. Back to Bluegrass - A New Technique Saves Blogger From Jamlessness. Bear with me, this takes a little explanation and some self-disclosure:. I have Muscular Dystrophy. We've all got our crosses to bear, this is mine, and I regard it more as an inconvenience than a disability. It's a fairly mild case of a mild type of MD and I count myself as fortunate that it never was any worse than it's been. But, that said, it has. And, of course, I loved playing as well. I spent a lot of ...

Salt Creek Gazette: The Weight
http://saltcreekgazette.blogspot.com/2010/12/old-joke-q-how-do-you-make-god-laugh.html
Sunday, December 5, 2010. A deeply personal post from Your Humble Blogger. This is something I wrote months ago about my own struggle with Muscular Dystrophy, but never intended to publish. I'm posting it now by request. Q: How do you make God laugh? A: Tell him your plans. If anything, he painted a rosier picture than I'd ultimately realize. Facioscapulohumeral M.D. is among the milder of the muscular dystrophies. It follows an autosomal dominate genetic pattern meaning it's not. So, it was obvious to m...

Salt Creek Gazette: Marble Riot
http://saltcreekgazette.blogspot.com/2009/11/marble-riot.html
Wednesday, November 18, 2009. The day my teacher lost her marbles. Sexagenarian- who hadn’t a clue to it’s worth. I’ll pause here to savor the memory…. After probably 15 seconds things began to calm down. Most of the marbles had by then been collected and hastily pocketed, and order began to be restored. A few of our classmates complied with Ms Gillian's demand that booty be returned and dutifully placed their marbles to the box (the sheep! Posted by Chip Owens. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Salt Creek Gazette: You had me at "Hello Thar" - Doc Watson and An Afternoons Epiphany
http://saltcreekgazette.blogspot.com/2009/11/you-had-me-at-hello-thar-afternoons.html
Thursday, November 12, 2009. You had me at "Hello Thar" - Doc Watson and An Afternoons Epiphany. Author's teenage introduction to the music of Doc Watson triggers seismic shift in his world view. Music was forever changed for me one afternoon in 1974 when my older cousin tossed me a pair of Koss headphones and said “listen to this.”. I snugged the high quality phones over my ears as the needle contacted the vinyl, and what I heard was unlike anything I’d heard before:. It was one of the first, if not the.

A Little Info About Me. Finding Joy in the Journey. ONE NATION UNDER GOD. Has this ever happened to you? Well, I did! I drove back to our hotel and parked the car. What I heard, I knew I needed to share, so I started scrambling to find a notebook, a piece of paper, SOMETHING to take notes on. The only thing I had was a receipt. Could it be that God allowed our current crop of leaders in Washington DC to be elected so that we Christians would pray for revival? WAIT FOR CHRIST’S ARRIVAL. Newer Entry →.

Salt Creek Gazette: Two Brothers
http://saltcreekgazette.blogspot.com/2009/11/two-brothers.html
Wednesday, November 11, 2009. You've read about the infamous Andersonville Prison. Now read about death in Northern Prisons during the civil war. Left behind were two older brothers, their mother, and several sisters. On July 3, 1863 the 4th N.C. was involved in the Battle of Gettysburg, and the following day, while screening retreating troops and supply trains, Daniel was captured. It must be considered that the South during the months that Andersonville was in operation was a devastated country. Sh...

Salt Creek Gazette: Happy Birthday Norman Blake
http://saltcreekgazette.blogspot.com/2010/03/happy-birthday-norman-blake.html
Wednesday, March 10, 2010. Happy Birthday Norman Blake. Today is Norman Blake's birthday, which is not hard for me to remember since it's also my son's. In any case, I thought I'd seize the occasion to pay homage to this incredible musician and relate some of my personal experiences. In no time I had my own copy of "Whiskey" and Fields of November as well. And, as with Doc, I've spent the thirty years since trying to figure out and emulate his style. A hopeless task, I'll admit. He and his wife Nancy, wh...

Salt Creek Gazette: This Old Guitar
http://saltcreekgazette.blogspot.com/2010/02/this-old-guitar.html
Saturday, February 20, 2010. My oldest guitar gets some TLC. The guitar was a beautiful mahogany/spruce piece with twelve strings over six, and I was smitten. So much so that after a few minutes of looking it over, and to the disgust and amazement of my buddy's brother, I bought it. The stereo would have to wait. For a long time this was my primary guitar. The favorite, that is, until I bought a Martin D28S about in the early 90's. Then it was demoted and spent much more time in the case. Well, I had som...
