a simple prop

I have to say…

It’s nice your still writing. I’ve followed several places, and while I don’t agree with everything you do write, I’m extremely happy you still do.

I can only hope that the dog didn’t do to the statue what they do to other objects…

On the flip side, I’m glad I found you again. I wigged out when I noticed that you weren’t in the list of blogs for scienceblogs anymore.

Thanks for continuing, John. I’ve been tagging along for a couple of years because I find your ideas engaging and you have the expertise to provide a foundation for them.

Tell you what. You blog, I’ll read. I’ll probably learn something and comment some. Works for me.

The picture reminds me of a song I heard. Can’t say right now who the artist was but I remember the lyrics. The tune is kind of a lazy, flat pickin’ country style with a touch of blues.

“Clyde plays electric bass
He plays it with finesse and grace
Sit on the porch without no shoes
Pickin’ that bass and singin’ the blues.

Now Clyde he likes company
And his ol’ hound sings harmony
Tambourine tied to his tail
You can hear him moan
You can hear him wail.

Joline baby, she got a dollar
And down the road you can hear her holler
‘Get up, Clyde, we got sompin’ to do
That ol’ dog can sing the blues.’”

Wait! Leo Kottke. *i knew i knew who*

Thanks for the clarification, Thony C.

I didn’t think Kottke wrote the song but his is the only version I’ve heard. I see a copy of Cale’s album in my collection soon.

Good luck with that porch!
