First off, some bacon

Last week I picked up The Complete Idiot's Guide to Pool and Billiards by Ewa Mataya Laurance.  This evening I actually opened the book and tried some of the tips she offers.  Moving my right hand up about 4 inches really improved my game.  I can't wait till I try some of the other pointers from the book.

While concentrating on pool, I subconciously picked up on some of the rhythm guitar parts from a Tony Rice Unit show I was listening to.  Now to only be able to play them..

Since my Friday Zevon Lyric posts are such a big hit, I'm going to start

Fish And Whistle

I been thinking lately about the people I meet
The carwash on the corner and the hole in the street
The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet
And I'm wondering if I'm gonna see tomorrow.

Father forgive us for what we must do
You forgive us we'll forgive you
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven.

I was in the army but I never dug a trench
I used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench
Then I'd go to town and drink and give the girls a pinch
But I don't think they ever even noticed me.

Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
Eat everything that they put on your dish
And when we get through we'll make a big wish
That we never have to do this again again? again????

On my very first job I said thank you and please
They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees
Then I got fired for being scared of bees
And they only give me fifty cents an hour.



Congrats to [livejournal.com profile] puck_nut for being much more articulate on your TV debut than I was and to [livejournal.com profile] sharkbait, my favorite hard-ass nurse, good luck with the computer exorcism :)
