Something from the wine cellar tapes to remind us of the beauty of life.

Mighty fine

Sounds even better if you ignore a puritanical herb law that that Petros is keen to have abolished, not that its applicable or enforced here in Europe mind you.

Also, I laughed quite hard at this -

 - possibly due to my flouting aforementioned law but more likely that it was pretty funny!

Thanks for sharing your gifts with us Lazlo.

Thanks P45, and

Yeah, the big war on the evil hemp plant, with all of its multifarious uses, is another huge fraud, especially so when you have doctors, scientific researchers, judges, and law enforcement officers, what to speak of patients, calling its unnecessary prohibition just ridiculous nonsense and a complete 100 % waste of taxpayer dollars. Of course none of the legislative lawmakers give a damn about the prudent and wise usage of public funds anyway. It’s not their money. I don’t know what the political scene is like in Scotland, but over here, the “elected” politicians take an almost insane pride in figuring out ingenious ways to blow tons of our cash on completely stupid shit like they were all a bunch of drunken sailors on holiday. We are told that they care about us - our general welfare, health, and well-being. LMFAO. No one believes the ignorant clowns of the ruling class anymore (check out Peter O’Toole in “The Ruling Class,” a classically funny film).

They don’t want you tuning in. They would rather have you tuning out to some of the product coming out of their giant militarily-protected opium farm known as the country of Afghanistan. Lots of GI eyewitness accounts (American and British) are still coming out about soldiers saying they spent their whole tour of duty protecting opium fields for the local Afghani drug lords. It’s a $15 billion a year business. You can fund a lot of under-the-radar black-ops with that kind of cash, as well as simultaneously create an international slave class of zombified hungry junkies. Have you ever read William Burroughs?

So let’s re-cap. We have the War on Drugs, 9/11 and the War on Terror, The War on Iraq, the War on Afghanistan, the upcoming Wars against everyone in the Middle East who calls out Israel on their BS. All these wars are unnecessary and contrived frauds, but yet there are still wars that remain very real, such as the War on the Middle Class.

whilst the war on drugs patsies get theirs. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/uk/06/prisons/html/nn2page1.stm

Little wonder the temporary escape from worry market continues to flourish and destroy.

Sorry, I’m highlighting harsh reality in a designated light entertainment area.

The upside of war on the middle classes may be a shunting out of the comfort zone for the blissfully/deliberately unaware. Hardship and hunger, the motivator for all the family.

Nevermind, it's Friday!

An old poorly-recorded set of Indian tablas

Glad you liked. Yes, it is just me on 12 string guitar, bass, and tablas. A friend of mine was acting as engineer. It was just this little thing that started spontaneously, and three tracks later it was done. Experimental, on the spot multi-track recording.

I really like!

very pleasant, laid-back stuff. But say, playing the 12-string and all: Iz u eros? Because then, we'd need to talk...

PS: As for the rest of you diligent musicians, I didn't get around to listening to any of your contributions for a while. -- but I'll catch up, I promise. Have a nice weekend, peeps!
