Today it the weather was very nice overhere ..... no rain We went to a special Dog beach only when we wanted to get away .... choco decided to lay down in somekind of mud ...... only don´t think it was mud .. the car smelled like hell. At home I´ve put choco under the shower to clean him up!

[Thomasha]

Kenny, sounds like you've been having a good time! That's the way to go, mate! You can come over to my place tonight, I'm gonna smash up an old TV I couldn't repair, so that'll be a lot of fun!

[SnakeLady]

Oh that´s gonne make you feel allot better Thomasha ......... only kill the tv okay don´t hurt yourself

[Serendipity]

Well we had a BBQ tonight very nice, some nice rump steak and some very nice chicken sausages and salad.
During the meal we listened to some John Wetton, some Floyd, some Queensryche, Some Evanescence, and lots of other stuff.....it was a good time. I wish some of you lovely people could have been with us....

Hmmm, sounds wonderful (and yummy!) again!

[Serendipity]

.... choco decided to lay down in somekind of mud ...... only don´t think it was mud

ROCK and ROLL!!!

[Thomasha]

Snakey, I've calmed down now so I'll leave the ol' tellie in the basement for now!

So, what's up for tonight?

[Serendipity]

I'm gonna smash up an old TV I couldn't repair, so that'll be a lot of fun!

Are you going to smash it up with a guitar, thats what rockstars do, right?

I have been planning my holiday for november/december... roughly sorted out where to stay, and what to see, and I finally have something that is practical to do within three to four weeks. I hope the weather will be sunny and warm all holiday long, but I think warm weather is only sure at the place where we plan to stay the first couple of days. Oh well, however it's going to turn out, it certainly will beat the Dutch winter weather!

Isn't it a litlle early for coffee, SnakeLady? We didn't even have dinner yet!

[Thomasha]

S-dip, I'd like to do that but I don't think I can afford it! What if the guitar breaks?

[Serendipity]

Some rockstar you are! Perhaps glueing the tv to the ceiling is an option?

[Thomasha]

Thanks for the advice, that would really be something!

[Kenny]

I think that particular stunt may have been done decades ago.....and BTW, does anyone of you know how hard it is.....to type with severe hiccups??

[Serendipity]

Unfortunately I don't know anymore which band it was, could be Deep Purple, who glued all the furniture to the hotel room ceiling. Anyway, they left the cleaners in total astonishment!

[Serendipity]

does anyone of you know how hard it is.....to type with severe hiccups??

Try holding your breath and swallow a couple of times... Hiccups aren't a problem for me at the moment... my problem is the characters on my keyboard are disappearing... the a,s,n, and o keys have turned completely black!

[Thomasha]

Yes, that's Purple! Just imagine Richie Blackmore & Co having some fun!

Hiccups are terrible, you'll have to drink more!

[Serendipity]

Hiccups are terrible, you'll have to drink more!

Cheers on that thought!

[SnakeLady]

Yeah I know, just teasing!

Hey Thomasha, you want another tv to smash? Ours broke down tonight, while we were watching Dazed and Confused. (The movie not the Led Zeppelin song; the song isn't evem in the movie, but what a great soundtrack still, Peter Frampton, Aerosmith, Kiss, Black Sabbath, not to mention what a great movie, it's like reliving my highschool years all over, even though that was 10 years later or so... It's about time I close these brackets now )

Um, so, we replaced the tv with the spare one, which has a picture size the size of a postage stamp, but enabled us to finish the movie. I'll get back to my drink now, and try to figure out how the spare tv will play NTSC, so far we're only getting a black and white picture for the next movie we wanted to see.

...or maybe you can swing the tv this way. My bro's friend used to have busting sessions all the time (he fixes tvs and vcrs, so anything that wasn't repairable got destroyed.) He had several tools at his disposal: 1.) A transformer from a 70's vintage amplifier, which was great for breaking picture tubes. 2.) A 40 lb. sledge axe, which did wonders to old tv frames and flatened vcr's in no time. And 3.) A 400 lb. Microwave completely filled with cement. He had a hook 'n pulley system that he mounted the nuke on, and he would haul it up with his '59 Catillac Fleetwood. Just pull the hook, and tvs didn't stand a chance.

He doesn't do many repair jobs anymore, other than a few commercial accounts. But my bro has carried the torch for busting sessions, and we still occassionally bust picture tubes in the backyard. Good times, and a great stress reliever.

[Serendipity]

He doesn't do many repair jobs anymore

I'd almost say no kidding, since he seems to have made an art out of busting tvs!

I just watched the last part of Fernsehgarten on German tv... Ritchie Blackmore was supposed to perform there. Didn't see him though, and in hindsight I think I should be grateful for that. Last time he played his renaissance music at the poolside in sunglasses... The performances I watched this time were rather special again. Imagine people dancing in a conga-line while a band (moustaches, portable keyboard) playback their cover version of Baccara - I Can Boogie... And of course that song is stuck in my head now!!!

Ohhhhhh you´ve missed something a friend(the friend who likes Candice )of mine has seen it and it was very funny and good! Blackmore came up with a small pig under his arm ........ and the lady who presented the show said `don´t eat it` ......... and the music was more rock ...... you know they give a show overhere in Oktober.

[Jonny B]

Miracles do happen! The band finally had a full band practice yesterday! We went through a majority of the material without much problem. My bro talked about potential gigs, maybe even a remote possibility of opening up for Eden's Lie during their cd release party later this year...but there's no promises as of yet.

Sadly though, I found a flaw in one of the songs that I wrote. Come to find out, I accidentilly sequenced the song in such a way that it's impossible to play the keyboard part without a third hand. It's something I have to work out in my spare time.

We also had a difficult time reprogramming our drummer. He likes to do a lot of improvising when he's not fully familiar with a particular song.

I'm beginning to like our new singer alot more, now that she's got the songs down pact. She kind of has the feel of today's pop music, but unlike Avril Lavigne, we actually DO rock without pretending to rock.

Now all we need is to fix our Achellies' Heel: Finding a bassist, and a new sound card.

[Serendipity]

a friend(the friend who likes Candice )of mine has seen it and it was very funny and good! Blackmore came up with a small pig under his arm ........ and the lady who presented the show said `don´t eat it`

Oh dear, sounds like he did a lot of smiling on the stage... I'm still not used to him smiling so much!

Oh, on the latest DVD he played a particularly difficult part with little or no effort, so Bobbi yells 'asshole' to the tv as Blackmore finishes the piece. And as if Blackmore has heard him, he tilts his head up, looks into the camera and pulls a 'bet you can't do that' smile! The look on Bobbi's face at that moment was priceless!

I've found a small piece of the song they performed yesterday, at least there was some guitar on it, unlike the first song (Old Mill Inn) that was released... what a dreadful song that was.

Come to find out, I accidentilly sequenced the song in such a way that it's impossible to play the keyboard part without a third hand. It's something I have to work out in my spare time.

... nah, I'll keep this thought to myself!

Well sounded like he did his best

LOL that must have been priceless indeed to bad you don´t have a picture of it!

Finaly looks like summer is starting overhere ..... looking forward to it ... do hope that saturday will be a nice day aswell

[Serendipity]

I'm not sure... At the moment I'm already happy when there will be sunshine. I've had enough of the grey skies and rain.

Are you planning to go to the beach again with Choco this Saturday?

[SnakeLady]

Are you planning to go to the beach again with Choco this Saturday?

Yes planning to go indeed ....... and than we want to have diner at the same restaurant as last time.

Well I´ve found some time today to relax an hour in the sun so nice

[Serendipity]

It was a good day to relax in the sun today. Tomorrow will be a good day too, then I'm going to do the same thing!
