Chronicles of a Late-Blooming Child Prodigy

I'm an unrelenting aficionado of Chess, Toastmasters and acoustic music (Celtic and Bluegrass--Turquoisegrass?). Audio and Video Blogging gives my visitors a chance to hear and see my triumvirate of interests in action. Cheers! --GT

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Olympia, Washington, United States

My recurring illusions of grandeur: (1) winning a state-level chess tournament, (2) winning the World Championship of Public Speaking, and (3) playing Flight of the Bumblebee on the guitar at the Annual Flatpicking Championship in Winfield, Kansas. Until then, I'll relish all three pursuits with the enthusiasm and fearlessness of a late-blooming child prodigy. :)

Muddy Waters meets Earl Scruggs

My Ovation 12 string tuned to open G and subjected to the whims of a glass slide and hybrid picking (flatpick and fingers). I like this little ditty, so I'm going to work on it a bit.

Adams County, Part II

Just back from emergency military leave. I visited Locust Grove Cemetery again, this time to bid farewell to my father, Berlin. He and my brother Gary are buried side by side now.

Times like these militate against picking up a musical instrument, but I think music will have an important part in working out my grief in the months ahead. More audioblog entries to follow.
