For the next few days, my internet service will be going in and out usually for different lengths of time, so if I am talking with someone and I disappear for awhile abruptly, its nothing personal, so please accept my apologies in advance.. I have called Charter services and the earliest that they can come and fix it is Thursday afternoon, so I’ll just have to put up with it until then. Thanks.. Scratch.

PLEASE SEND HELP NOW!!!

I would just like to take a minute to thank Six And D over at the
"Needs More Cowbell" blog for giving me the opportunity to write a piece on one of rock and rolls truly original artists "Jimi
Hendrix" he remains one of my favorite guitarists, thank you to you both, you two truly rock! for anyone that may be interested in checking it out, the Hendrix post is up over at Cowbell.

Thanks again Six and D.. Scratch.

I bought the Cream reunion DVD on sunday afternoon, I finally got to watch it last night after work. if your a Cream fan at all its worth a look, these old boys can still kick it in the ass.. definetely worth the price, it was recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in london England in May of 2005.
Eric Clapton.
Jack Bruce.
Ginger Baker.. The Boys!



Hope everyone has a great week.

From the day that we are brought into this world she is there with you, to pick you up when you fall, to heal you when you are sick, and to share with you the riches of her wisdom throughout all of the days of your life.


she holds your hand when you need her to, and guides you through the rough spots, and through it all never condemns, she accepts your mistakes, not as failures but as lessons that you must learn to prepare you for the life that you must someday face without her.


when you are a child you often marvel at her beauty, and often think of her as an Angel...


And as you grow into adulthood.. you are convinced of it. to all of the mothers here on the blogstream, from Scratch to you.. Happy Mother's day.. you are truly the Angels of this Earth..

SCRATCH...
