Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

One of the two HMV shops in town is already closing, I wonder if the other will too.

HMV was still around? The ones in MA closed years ago.

Hey, Buffistas! This is just a drive-by boast to say that I'm going to start taking guitar lessons from Richard Lloyd via Skype tomorrow. Expecting either polite scorn or drunken tirades, and I don't really care which way it goes.

Whoa! Who knew that was a thing? How're you doing, Hayden?

Wow! That's awesome, Hayden!
I submitted a song for critique to my songwriting hero, and he started out the response by saying, "Now don't mistake my being blunt for rudeness..." And I was all happy because I was about to get ripped to shreds by this bigshot. I responded to him, "Well, I know you, Rick, so if it didn't sound at least a little rude, I wouldn't believe it was really from you!"

Thanks, y'all! It's quite exciting!
I'm doing well, David. Been super-busy at work, which is nice after being sidelined with no work for so long. Both of my bands are on hiatus right now related to being old-person bands: in one, the drummer just had hip surgery, which is both funny and kinda horrifying. In the other, the singer/other guitarist (this is Mark Edwards, Jon) has been ill for about six months with damage to his leg and foot. He's been on and off a bunch of medications and hasn't felt well enough to play for months now. I'm hoping he'll turn around soon because this whole ordeal has been very tough on him.

Sorry to hear that about Mark, Hayden. Tell him he's in my thoughts.
