No damn jam!

 


I didn't make it to the bluegrass jam. The old time jam guy learning songs came first. I gave up just before it finished. There were six of us when things got underway. Three banjos, one guitar, one fiddle and an acoustic bass guitar. One of the banjo players had a stack of songs he wanted to try learn and the 90 minute session involved people playing along while this guy tried to get his very simple songs right. A couple of people disappeared outside and a little play along / chat session seemed to develop out there. I left ten minutes before the bluegrass jam was due to start. Enough time wasted. Hey, a jam is where a group of musicians play tunes that everybody has had a chance to contribute to.

At least I have that art exhibition gig coming up! I found out that it doesn't really go for 6 or 7 nights. There is the opening night, where I play, then I'm welcome to come back and play in the gallery while the exhibition is on, which I will. 

We need a picture on this post.

No, this is not me cooking sausages.
It's just a random picture.

Here's another random picture.


According to Rob, these pictures will not induce as much hostility as spiritual things.

Well, Rob, that was quite a comment you left on my last post.

"I heard an account of an exorcism. There were several people including a protestant minister. The Catholics all went to confession before hand; but the protestant minister said he had no need as he went straight to God. In due course the exorcism began. Prayers were said and the first minor demon was easily expelled. The next demon was a higher level one. Satan is called the accuser because he loves to tell God about our sins. Anyway the demon looked at all the people present and was frustrated at finding no sin until he came to the protestant minister. The demon rapidly shouted 300 sins the minister had on his soul. Then another 300 more, followed by yet another 300!"

So, the poor old Protestant minister was carrying around 900 sins. Gosh, I'm probably carrying around more! I hate to think how many Peter might be carrying around! Mr. Linford would have been okay because he probably went to confession. I wonder if leaving the jam personal practice session early was a sin? I suspect that this 'rant' was written by a catholic. Why do they have it in for Protestants? They both believe in the same god. Hell! Rob even is happy to take money off them by cleaning their church - or is that a Presbyterian church? Though Presbyterians would be racking up sins too because they probably don't go to confession. 

"Satan is called the accuser because he loves to tell God about our sins." Actually, it sounds like Satan* might have written this rant because the author is telling god about the poor old Protestant's sins. 

"Ha, ha, ha, ha! Who's next?"

That's it from me.

Ciao tutti.

Hey, I'm the guy they call Satan. Remember that this perfect god made me knowing how it was going to turn out. He wanted this outcome. He needed a 'bad guy' to play off.
Think about it. The guy knows everything that is going to happen.

Didn't your mother warn you about those public conveniences?

Was the barbeque picture an allusion to hell?

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Hell no.

Rob ha detto...

Oh heavens, I feel like I've been stupid.

Hell? No.

The comments from you two sound like a conversation between patients in the Stroke unit at hospital.

Fuck!
I wonder if there is another blogging group in another universe I can join?

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

I'm only showing you why grammar and proofreading are important.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

I'm sure that another universe would appreciate your efforts more.



Maybe Robert's Holy Dove can assist you in the relocation.
