Lately, we were talking about buying and upgrading guitars...

In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.
So if I buy a Rickenbacker from China, would it be a chickenbacker?

I've heard some great reviews about those guitars. Just sayin, if it's mahogany, or maple, and the neck has a truss rod, it can be made better by the owner, after purchase.

Nice Photoshop on the acoustic....could use a tone knob though.

50 Years of Major Tom
11. July 1969 - David Bowie
'Space Oddity' by David Bowie was released in the UK for the first time. It was timed to coincide with the Apollo moon landing but had to be re-released before it became a hit, later in the year in the UK (but not until 1973 in the US). Bowie would later revisit his Major Tom character in the songs 'Ashes to Ashes', 'Hallo Spaceboy' and possibly the music video for 'Blackstar'.

The fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing is nearly upon us and there are a lot of documentaries centering on that milestone.

I'm just watching "When We Were Apollo" on one of the PBS stations. Fascinating story about the engineers, technicians, builders and contractors who worked on the Apollo program.

One of the pivotal moments was November 22, 1963 and the assassination of JFK.

I had to ask my Mom what her recollections were and if that dark day ruined Thanksgiving and her anniversary. Yep.

She recounted how she had three young children, including my brother George, who was one month old, on a bus to Des Moines to help my grandmother clean her house. She was scrubbing the basement floor when she heard the news. She was a fairly liberal democrat at the time and it devastated her.

She got back to Omaha to find the house had been broken into and her Mother's engagement ring had been stolen.

Rough couple days. But those are the kind of days that make us appreciate the great days all that much more. Without that sadness, anger and discomfort we cannot truly understand the joyful moments in our lives.

Just something I've been thinking about.

I fondly remember that day, when the USA put a lander on the moon, and those famous words made history.

Mum and dad had woken me and my older sister up, my younger sis was two, and too little.

We sat in the wee small hours of monday, 21. of July, starting 3:54 hours CET, and it was a lot like thgose Muhammad Ali fights, that we watched with dad alone, in the early saturday mornings similar hours.

A highly unifying experience, not just for our family, for the world
