Tom Délay

Through Eschaton, a link to Tom Delay’s speech. He sure talks a lot about Howard Dean.

Good afternoon, or, as John Kerry might say: “Bonjour!”

Playing Phish

Some of my buddies went to the Phish concert in Raleigh last night. Before they left, one asked me if I knew how to play anything by the band.

I’m now working on some stuff off Rift, my favorite album: “Fast Enough For You,” “It’s Ice,” “Horse,” and “Silent in the Morning.”
