When I was on furloughed from work for a month I played with my dog, watched TV ate a lot of pizza and thought about eating a lot of pizza.
Johnny Wilson put together a CGI Jazz trio that featured a Lion and Owl and a Panda.
I think Johnny Wilson made better use of his ‘free time’ then I did:

I love music- any kind of music. I tell a lie. I don’t really like a lot of Country Music and most stuff that came out after 1990. But in pinch I’ll surf around and take in some new things, but I haven’t really been excited about new music for years.
Wow. I sound like my Grandparents. Ouch. That’s not true at all. They were better sports about music then I am now.
Anyway.
Just before Covid-19 forced us into lockdown, I got my nails taken down ( buh bye acrylic nails ) so that I could start to play guitar again and that has been fun. Though sitting alone and playing my guitar over headphones and a small amp instead of my Vox is sort of a buzz kill, but at least I’m playing again.
I started playing when I was 12 and that was back in the day when ‘girl guitar players’ were more of a novelty then anything else. But I didn’t care. I just liked to play. I still do. A lot.
For Fandango’s Dog Days of August #17 Prompt : Music I’ve posted some clips of songs that I like to listen to before I write or when I just want something to sing along too because my dog does that head tilt thing and then he brings me toys to shut me up.
Just as a side note, the Snoopy Song I’ve posted was my personal theme song when I was kid and I used to sit in my cherry tree with my musical snoopy dog and sing it at the top of my lungs and purposefully off key because YOU try to sing and make airplane noises too, until someone from my family turned the hose on me to try to get me to stop.
Nah.
It didn’t work.

I could be like some of my friends- they will NOT talk about the state of the world we live in.
In their world they see breathtaking sunrises, majestics sunsets through the haze of tear gas, they close their eyes and take in deep breaths of Coronavirus free air, the man that is leading them is their gold plated promise and he shines brighter then any star in their universe.
But I can’t be like them.
I can hear the Bells ringing can you?
Ring, ring the bells
Wake the town, everyone is sleeping
Shout at the crowd, wake them up
This anger’s deeper than sleep
Got to keep awake to what’s happening
I can’t see a thing through my ambition
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we’ve all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Break, break the code
Concentrate, let the doors swing open
See through all your walls, all your floors
Now you’re in deeper than sleep
Got to keep awake to what’s happening
I can’t see a thing through my ambition
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we’ve all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
When you let me fall, grew my own wings
Now I’m as tall as the sky
When you let me drown, grew gills and fins
Now I’m as deep as the sea
When you let me die, my spirit’s free
There’s nothing challenging me
Putting My Feet In The Dirt July Writing Prompts #4 Perfectly puffy
The perfect puffy head of hair.
The perfect puffy dress
The perfect song about being a Puffy Puffer Fish.
I’m not so sure I’m crazy that you should grind yourself down to fit in, but Henry thought it was worth it.
