Feelin' Hot Hot Hot!

I was pondering this one for a while. I wanted to write it sooner, but life got in the way. I was floored when we lost one of my favorite musicians last year, Eddie Money. I see people are talking bad about him on his Facebook fan page right now. I have defended him (not that it makes a difference, but his widow responded to my comments I made.) Well I wanted to blog about this a while ago as I mentioned before. Now the big thing is I am still reeling from one of the other favorites of mine, I was on lunch break and I turned on my phone to see my favorite guitarist Eddie Van Halen had passed away. This really took to me... not the same way that Tom Petty or Michael Jackson upset me, but it was up there. They had just taken a picture of him before he passed and he looked good. I remember getting a picture of his guitar and Tony Hawk's skateboard at the museum in D.C; I loved taking that picture because it was a peice of rock and roll history. I write this not only as a warm up because I haven't blogged since February 2019, and have so much to tell you. Since I have last talked to you guys, my vinyl collection has grown. I am getting as much as I can from second hand stores and antique shops. It is fun just seeing what people had, unfortunately the biggest problem is the ones I really wanted yesterday were $13.00-20.00 which is too expensive for me right now as the holidays are coming up, but I love going to the shops with my girlfriend and getting her input on what to get, though I am not a shopaholic like she is so I have to be careful. One of the ones I got yesterday was Marty Robbins greatest hits. I am not sure if I should tell my dad because I don't want to make him jealous, but I got the James Bond record, too. I will post more of what I have and obtain in the future, but that is the reason I go to these stores. I also found a place here that is a big antique mall with good prices. I had a yard sale one time and the booth next to us wanted a lot of money, but my biggest score was 5th Dimension, which ironically I found the CD at the thrift store near by. I just did a video this morning, too on some hot sauces I bought. Why post this here? Because they bear the name of Elvis, Alice Cooper and Dex from the Offspring. I wanted Zakk Wylde and Joe Perry's hot sauce, but I could not find any. I'm sure if I did it would be expensive. The Elvis one was the medium hot (All Shook Up,) I wanted the hottest one of Burnin' Love, but it was sold out. The Alice Cooper one was called Poison, the hottest one. I wanted to get the No More Mr. Nice Guy, but I wanted the hottest one. Gringo Bandito (Dex's) was good, too. Well I hope to get more to talk about and time to talk about it soon. I'm just letting you all know I am still around and kicking. If you can think about a subject for me to do then let me know. Until then, keep hitting the HIGH NOTES!
