It’s amazing how far down the tubes this country has descended in the last seventy years. Don Surber has an excellent post about a real hero. Compare this to what our society now thinks is a hero. “Caitlyn” Jenner. We are now officially lower than whale shit. Daniel Patrick Moynihan stated it best when he said that we continued to define deviancy downward. Someone is now a hero because he decided to cut off his dick? JHFC! WTF is wrong with this country? Why is this a national story? This should be a private matter. Instead it’s a national story and ESPN is giving Jenner an award for courage.

Take some time to reflect on all of the real heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy seventy-one years ago today. WWII was the last war we won just as it was the last war we wanted to win. It was also the last war that Hollywood was on our side. So was the media. We didn’t worry about civilian casualties. All the Germans and all of the Japanese were our enemies. War is hell. The purpose of war is to kill so many of the enemy that they either lose the will to fight or there aren’t anymore of them to kill. Until we understand that we will never win another war and we don’t deserve to. We have become a nation of pussies.

AS most of you know, I love to post Bach compositions either written for or transcribed for guitar. Of course, I also like to find compositions by other composers that have been transcribed for guitar. Here is one such piece sent to me by Claudia. She is currently relearning this piece on piano but found this guitar version to send to me.

This group was formed in Athens Georgia.

Naturally, I had to go find out how this sounded on the piano.

AlphaDelta sent me a double. (more…)

Got this one from Randy.

An uninformed voter was applying for a job as a prison guard. The warden said, “Now these are real tough guys in here. Do you think you can handle it?”

“No problem,” the uninformed voter replied. “If they don’t behave, out they go!”
