The Flaw

I got to hear the band of my friend John on Sunday. They are Murphy's Flaw and they play bluegrass. They also have way too many people for the little stage in this coffee bar. John is 2nd from the right. He's the banjo player. They also had two mandolin players, two guitar players (one is a guest from Nashville), a fiddle player, a bass player and a Dobro player. They were very good.

A few months ago, The Flaw fell to pieces. Many of the band members left. Poor John was left without an outlet for a month or two. But he is resourceful and a good banjo player, so he was able to draw a whole new group to him. They seem to have a lot of fun playing together. After an hour they had a commercial break. The young mandolin player sang the credit express dot com song. Cute. Then he and the visiting guitar player did a few numbers together.

Fun evening.

Do you ever re-read your books? The thought never crosses my mind because I can't see these books. But I've been spending too much money on audible books purchased outside my monthly credits. So I've been browsing my "library." I have well over 300 books. It's been fun looking through them to select a "few" to put on my iPod. That and Per convinced me to read a real paper book by a real Norwegian writer. I don't know which surprised Adrian more - Paper? Norwegian?
