Peddling Ass

Perhaps a little too desperate to sell beer...

Spring Has Sprung!

Another babe for the man cave...  Hot Hair-iette!

Snow Canyon Redux

So Valley of Fire one day, then a cheap room in Mesquite, then Snow Canyon the next day before the drive home.  Of course one must take the old highway from Mequite (Littlefield) up to Ivins and then the park.  Quite a drive in itself.

Anyway, a bunch of pics from Snow Canyon, click on the pic for a larger size.

These little State parks can be quite a visual thrill.  Some good hiking as well.

Valley of Fire Redux

Driving back from California, we decided to spend a few hours in Nevada's Valley of  Fire.  Got some nice pics of arches, rocks, and other features.  Click on the pics to get a larger size.  Enjoy...  I sure did. What a great little park...  a nice loop off the freeway.

These pics were taken along just one road through the valley.  Other roads will take you to even more spectacular features,  I posted some pics from this area here.   I highly recommend this park.

NAMM Madness

I usually spend a weekend in January at the NAMM show in Anaheim.  We are usually burned out after a few hours and head out for a tangarita at a local bar.  But in those few hours we spend at the show, we do see some really curious musical instruments.  Like the round piano...

Can't wait to see this at our local Holiday Inn piano bar...

There was a whole section devoted to new companies producing analog synthesizers.  Lots of knobs, switches, and lights.

Then there were the basses....  Even more strings than last year.  First, the basic model!

Now the new 24 string bass...

Just a taste of NAMM Madness.  Creativity combined with insanity produces some very curious musical instruments.

Best SLC Jazz 2013

The pic is from the Granary District in SLC.  Kind of a neat thing going on down there.  Check it out.

Also, check out some tunes I've posted that represent some of the best jazz I heard in the last year.
