Note to self: Never argue with an Irish woman over the term 'inclement weather'. Let's just say we spent three hours sitting on a cold metal bench outside watching a graduation ceremony last night and we weren't dressed for the occasion. Don't get me wrong. We looked fabulous, just a wee bit FROZEN.

This is for everyone on Facebook. There is a scholarship available for Dweezilla this year (sponsored by Lagunitas Brewing Company). Here's hoping that someone from this site wins. Here is the link: http://diymusician.cdbaby.com/2013/05/win-a-free-scholarship-to-dweezil-zappas-music-boot-camp/

What a beautiful looking day out there. The sun is shining in through the windows of my home office. One of the joys of working from home on Tuesdays (besides the extra two hours of sleep). Everyone enjoy your day !!

My father had his kidney removed on Friday. They found cancer in the tube connecting his kidney and bladder. The surgery went very well. He came out of the surgery and was lucid and joking with the nurses. He got the results back from the biopsies yesterday. Everything else came back clean. They found no other signs of cancer in his body. He may need to go through a round of chemo once he heals from the surgery. I think we can all live with that. BIG EXHALE from the Quirk family.

They've either found a new Pope (sorry Jim) or the Vatican is on fire.

Went out to see 97Nine play on Saturday night. Got a message on Facebook that if we got there by 8:30pm, we would get a 'special surprise'. Made in the door with a few minutes to spare. We find GUITAR GOD Dave Uhrich on stage with trusty Ibanez in hand. He spent the next 35 minutes going through some of his classic solo pieces. I was like a kid in the candy store. The man should be playing in arenas. One of the truly great guitarists of our time.

Wolfgang is spending the next few nights at Midlothian Music. He is getting some rather sharp edges filed away on his stainless steel frets. My bedroom seemed a little empty this morning not seeing him there. Please keep him in your thoughts.

Watching Led Zeppelin:Celebration Day with Tadhg. He started bouncing around to the music and making sounds to match the sounds that he was hearing for the first time. He looked up at me as if he was saying 'I get you Man !!'. I just smiled. He then proceeded to pull off his sock and stuff it in his mouth. As he looked back at me I said 'I get you Man too !!'

Joe Satriani - Surfing With the Alien - 25th Anniversary Part 1 http://www.inthestudio.net/online-only-interviews/joe-satriani-surfing-alien-25th-anniversary/ I can't believe that it's been 25 years already. This album sounds as good today as the the day that it was released. I can't tell you how many copies of this cassette/CD that I have bought in this time frame. Such a huge part of my life back in the late 80s. My wife and I even had Always With Me, Always With You, played at our wedding.
