Man our kids LOVED these! We knew where each one of these in the standard metropolitan statistical area was located. And then they were just physically too big.
Tribute to the inventor and the guitarists who have pushed the sound of the Les Paul in so many directions - blues, rock, indie, funk, reggae, I could go on....

These old metal contraptions start out colorful and thanks to rust and weather get even more complex in their appearance. Our kids loved these. And then suddenly were too big for them.

I mean do we even still think of an actual newsPAPER anymore? Standing and knowing how to hold one just right to read out on the street in a fedora? Lost art.
Been on 12th Street in Little Rock since the early early 80s. I used to feel bad for Mike, but it turns out the nickname was because he played "ugly" in high school football.

Hitting that cooler for a couple of Dr. Pepper's is just what July is all about. A couple of baseball team friends ready to make short work of that beverage.
An impromptu community forms at a late afternoon fish fry out on somebody's grandfather's farm. Pickup trucks, Dr. Peppers out of an ice chest. Hunting Dogs. Catfish filets plopping into hot oil.
Christian McBride cooks at the best jazz club in the world - the Village Vanguard! A quartet of bass, drums, sax and trumpet throw out dense ideas in the basement.

Astronomical event, literally, and often confused with the Bonnie Tyler hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Only happens when it is good and ready to happen. 2024 will be an eventful enough year as it is....
Small town lunch spot where a morning in town ends with a thick slice of pie. Overalls, John Deere, seersucker suit, calendar with a woman water-skiing in a one piece.
Sometimes the confusion is understandable: it's a long weekend, you're out of town, whatever. Other times, well, it's just a part of our new condition.
Sharing new funk with a friend while cruising in a large hunk of Detroit steel is sheer fun. The Brothers Johnson sure could make the speakers shake. Musta been the bass....

This was where I went when I lived in the Village, and where I went when I lived elsewhere. No place quite like it. Kitsch ruled, fun abounded, neighborhood sprung from this Tex-Mex watering hole.

A quote from the immortal Parliament Funkadelic album "Mothership Connection" which posits the question on the t-shirt. With an 8 track tape just because.
