just waiting for the assless chaps and the studded codpiece to finish in the dryer
I had two really good guitar lessons last night with Kyle and Carolyn. I taught Kyle the fine art of the chung-chung via Communication Breakdown by Led Zeppelin and I… give me a second… *shudder* … taught Carolyn… Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet. Oh, the things I do for my students. Watch the space below this paragraph for a very special video clip of me playing Margaritaville coming very soon… (just waiting for the assless chaps and the studded codpiece to finish in the dryer).

I talked to Bubs for a long time last night and to Viv as well. He told me he wants an Eagles jersey, so I better go a-shoppin’.
What a great weekend to watch sports this weekend – Flyers preseason game on TV Saturday against the Canes, the Phils control their own destiny and have three games this weekend (pending any rain outs), and then Sunday night the Eagles go pay da Bears a visit.

Margueritaville. I have to take serious consideration on continuing to follow this blog now. The shark cupcakes look like the consistency of what I’m coughing up lately. Did Carol Channing say she was coming to dinner? Walk the plank. Same as it ever was. I’m hallucinating now. I guess the antibiotics haven’t kicked in yet.

So that’s why you haven’t posted a video yet! You are a god among men, I know what it cost you to teach me Margaritaville. I promise I will attempt to not butcher it as I have done with The Blues Shuffle.
I guess there’s no chance I’ll ever learn A Pirate Looks at Forty…

Megan – that’s how the douchebag spells it, so far be it from me to challenge his grammatical knowledge. go to the light Carolann
Chris – yeah, i love ‘em
Carolyn – you really are doing fine with the Blues Shuffle. and i’ll teach you anything you want to learn, but i’m probably going to have to open up that bottle of Jamaican Rum my sister brought me

Scrap Jimmy Buffet. Teach Carolyn something James Bluntery.

Megan – nah, I’ll teach my students what they like to listen to, i just have to shower sometimes afterwards
SQT – seriously, but then again, we can’t all be Republicans
lime – Jimmy Buffet should be shot out of a cannon, not listened to… unless you’re listening to him be shot out of a cannon

That Lottery link is fucking HYSTERICAL.

mamatulip – the commercials with the actual fingers are weird too, but yeah those costumes, i mean someone must have said, “you know what? now that i have it on… i kinda look like a dick”

I’ll think of you playing Margaritaville as I sip a margarita tonight. Though that might put me off the Margarita – not you, the tune.
The Danger Dogs don’t look too horrific, but then, nothing I ever saw in Nepal seemed very dangerous.

Jazz – that’s right you lived there as a child right? in Nepal, not Margarittaville (which I doubt have ever been confused ever before)

My husband gets sick of me showing him funny shit from your blog, but the Jimmy Buffet thing got him to give a standing ovation and laugh out loud!

The look on your face says it all. Working the beach bars here, I’m expected to do a lot of Buffet, so I avoid those joints. I did once get a ten dollar tip for NOT playing any Buffet. I believe I asked the lady to marry me. But then remembered I’m already married. When asked to play Cheeseburger in Paradise I tell them I can’t ’cause I’m a vegetarian. But Margaritaville is at least useful for teaching beginners.

The look on your face in the video says that your assless chaps shrunk in the dryer and you used a little too much starch on the codpiece. Well, either that you really hate Jimmy Buffet!

Thanks for making me discover your YouTube videos Van -
I’m impressed, especially given the fact I’ve always wanted to
master the basics of playing an instrument (my great-grandfather’s clarinet,
a rare but intact 100yo instrument)
but always found a reason not to get started.

Dude, you are a southpaw? I didn’t know that. Now the shot down the neck of your guitar makes more sense. I just always assumed you took it from the headstock toward the body.
Sorry. Random comment. I tried to play bass left handed once… Not pretty.
