Love My Lowdens

Bucks County Irish Ball

Trying on the late Dr. Harrod’s James Joyce tie prior to Saturday’s Bucks Irish Ball. He is missed!

Chorus

Rifling through my electronics case and there was the only effect I have ever found use for: A chorus pedal. These pretty much render useless 12 string guitars. Over the years I have used this box sparingly, usually on slow ballads such as “The Fields of Athenry”.

My hand continues to heal but not back to 100% just yet. One thing is certain: I will be playing far less than in the past, for the arthritis is not limited to my left thumb; it is present in other digits of my left hand from decades of playing rhythm guitar.

Recovery Progress

Happy New Year, Ladies and Gentlemen. My recovery from the thumb surgery is on track. I expect to be back to normal by March or April. At the moment, I can only play cowboy chords, no barred ones. Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

Bad to the Bone

Bill is undergoing reconstructive surgery on his left hand come December. Therefore, he is unavailable to perform music until late March at the earliest.

Remembering Dr. Lee Harrod

My good friend and former professor Dr. Lee Harrod passed away the day before Bloomsday this past June. He was a renowned Joyce scholar with whom I had the pleasure of interacting in many ways, especially at TCNJ and The Evergreen Forum.

Save the Date

Bill and Andrew will also be at O’Connor’s in Easthampton on Sept 17th.

Bill O’Neal’s Four Stars

One of the trainers at William’s gym is married to the daughter of my father’s former drummer in Bill O’Neal’s Four Stars. He sent me this.

Boundless

I wrote this one yesterday. It’s a moment in the life of two 17th Century emigrating Scots.

Bantry Bay

Sunset on Bantry Bay. Taken with a Pentax K1000 manual focus SLR film camera some thirty years ago. The view from The Bantry House. This is where the French army landed during the United Irishmen 1798 Rebellion. For more of my photos of Ireland from my travels to there, click here.

J-100 pick guard

The clear J-100 pick guard I ordered from Greasy Groove in Canada arrived today. You can barely see it but it’s now on my CJ-165. No pick guard was installed in the Boseman factory. I wanted a clear one so the abalone inlay around the sound hole would remain visible.
