Show us your vintage home!
I remember you posting the "before and after" photos when that happened - it was a drastic change! But yes, the improved views do soothe the sting a little bit. Nothing in nature ever stays the same, but it takes years of living to fully realize that. At least it did for me, but I can be a...- Woodtroll

Show us your vintage home!
I hope you won't be offended that I don't mark "Like" on your post - I hate to see mature trees go. We've gone through the exact same dilemma here over the last few years - two maples planted off the front corners of our old farmhouse by my great-grandfather, somewhere (we think, based on old...- Woodtroll

Old gas stations
That photo must have been reversed. It makes it look like he can play that guitar left-handed! ;) If I remember right, I don't think he switched the strings around, either, so self-taught he learned to play it basically upside-down AND backwards? I may be wrong about that. His style of rock...- Woodtroll

Musician's hats
Yes he has, and as you said he managed to make some pretty fine music over the years, too. Being raised with the country music of the mid-60s through early 80s, I'm a big fan of "outlaw country" and honky-tonk. Hank Jr. did both really well, when he wanted to. -

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
Very well stated, and very true, in my limited experience with masters of a craft.- Woodtroll

Uh-oh, that's one of those faster-than-you'd-ever-believe nose biting things! Fast only within striking distance, of course, but still surprising.- Woodtroll

DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects
I've had (and played) his "Hot Licks, Cold Steel, and Trucker's Favorites" since it came out in the early 70's. Probably not the typical Commander Cody music you're thinking of, but I liked it. Mama... hated diesels... so baddd! Farewell, Commander, Godspeed and safe journey!- Woodtroll

Very nice hat, Bill! I especially like the heathered felt. -
The Conversion Corral
That project sure turned out well. Very nice work! -

You know you are getting old when:
There are a few hanging on, but for the most part that's pretty much true. I almost never listen to the radio these days, prefering flash drives of my own music, but when I'm forced to listen to the local stations I hear almost nothing that interests me. The female singers sometimes come up with...- Woodtroll

You know you are getting old when:
That's a hilarious observation! As for the "song" - there's nothing about it "country" - more rap than anything, and it certainly doesn't belong on a "country" station. But that sound and the country-boy wannabe "dudes" prancing around like fool gangsters "throwing signs" seems to be the in...- Woodtroll

The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.
It is indeed rare for someone to get struck by lightning. It is even more rare for a strike to cause a death now that most people know CPR and AEDs are pretty common. In most cases where lightning "strikes" people, it's not a direct hit causing massive burns or trauma - it's usually the...- Woodtroll

The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.
That's interesting, but I wonder if the news is just now picking up on this possibility that had always been under consideration. I find it hard to believe that given all the signs that indicate lightning as a possibility, and no signs to indicate lots of other traumatic or self-inflicted...- Woodtroll

The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.
Indeed, it is a mystery to us. I certainly never claimed lightning to be THE cause, just an idea based on the limited evidence we were given (in the mountains, no marks of trauma to the bodies, victims include a child and a dog). Those high, rocky mountains can produce static electricity and...- Woodtroll

The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.
I wonder if there were any clouds or storms in the area at the time? A nearby lightning strike could kill multiple people/animals with no marks, and leave no noticeable trace if they were not struck directly. That seems a lot more likely than toxic algae overwhelming everyone at once. Toxic gas...- Woodtroll

Western, anyone?
Maybe he got whacked upside the head with one of those rifle barrels? Or it's a "side mule kick" crease? :D -
