About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Electric Dave

  Last Christmas my brother Al sent me a copy of a video he recorded of the band Uncalled Four for my Christmas present. I loved it.
  Dave, Todd, Jack, and I comprised that band in 1985 and was some of the best times of my life.
(Getting married and having kids will always be my greatest accomplishment.)
  I sent Electric Dave a copy of the recording so he could make copies for everyone who was in the band. What I wasn't expecting was getting five years of recordings of shows and practice sessions we did together. He also sent a beautiful letter, which he gave me permission to put up on my blog. I know it is hard to read so I'll write down one section that he wrote to me that brought a tear to my eye.
  "In retrospect, signing on with you and the original lineup of Uncalled Four back in 84' was one of the best things that could have happened to me musically, because it taught me to prepare to play gigs in front of a live audience. So, thank you for inviting me along on the trip."
  One of my proudest moments was reading that part.

This is,
I Love You Dave, Todd And Jack
And I Am Saying That Without Even Being Drunk
Jim Hauenstein
 
And,
 
“People haven't always been there for me but music always has.”
- Taylor Swift -
 
That is my story and I am sticking to it!
