Procrastination Thursday - Toot/Winds: Harmonica

"Procrastination Thursday"? This is when you haven't gotten around to "TootsDay", and not even "WindsDay", and lump them altogether the very next day (obviously, Thursday).

Think Bob Dylan, Paul Butterfield, et al.... It's the Harmonica, it's the Blues Harp!

(Pictured: Harmonica/Blues Harp Magnet)
Featuring The Harmonica, also known as the "Blues Harp" for those of us fond of The Blues.

Grammy Awards Tonight (& Prince)

Yahoo's Grammy Coverage "Central"

http://www.grammy.com/ - the offical Grammy website

http://www.apple.com/itunes/ - yes, the Apple iTunes store. iTunes has Grammy coverage, too, of course (Grammy-nominated samples and downloads).

Speaking of iTunes, re my mention of Prince above, I've got my iTunes running listening to Prince's "Baby I'm a Star" as I write. Anyway, about Prince, didn't he do a great half-time show at the Super Bowl? Real trooper Prince was performing in the pouring rain. I did pick up on the irony of his performing "Purple Rain" under the circumstances. Perfect.

Poop on those people who bothered to try to make something dirty out of Prince's performance. I think it's *their* minds that are dirty. Jeez. (Yes, I know Prince's has had his naughties in the long-ago past. Again - jeez. Sometimes people just seem compelled to look for the negative.)

Anyway - I'm looking forward to the Grammys tonight. I've even got some of the music - listening now to a song from John Mayer's "Continuim" as I now write. Got Mayer's music video for "Waiting for the World to Change." Also have a couple of Red Hot Chili Pepper's songs from their nominated "Stadium Arcadium", listening to "Snow (Hey Oh)" now - I listen to this one over and over, and over and over. (BTW, what the heck are the lyrics about? Whatever.)

Gee, I'm even missing "Desperate Housewives" in order to watch the Grammys...

Enjoy.

P.S.: John Mayer had better win something, as he's nominated multiplily, and is certainly talented and deserving. BTW, a relative? Who knows? Would be at most a distant in-law, such as a cousin-in-law. He does look like the Mayer branch of our family... ?
