I believe that most people misunderstood Leavitt’s comment.

It’s not a spine of steel, it’s a spine of steal.

Well, Trump folded (once again) like a cheap beach chair. But to his credit, it took 24 hours more than I thought it would.

I’m sure Putin and Laura Looney will be talking to him to impose more tariffs on penguins (once again).

Chaos is the enemy of the stock market. Please fasten your seatbelts.

Trump really is an idiot.

Off to play my guitar. Teaching myself to fingerpick Blind Faith’s Can’t Find My Way Home in drop D tuning. The bass line sounds very cool, especially the low D.

Like the idea. Saw them in Philly. James Taylor is making a tour. Joni was big on tunings.

Cool song….. and yes it does!

Can hear that low D in my mind’s ear.

But my Taylor concert model just can’t make that low D ring with volume and clarity.

Tou must be playing a dreadnaught.

Pretty sure he tunes down a full step before doing the Drop D tuning, so the low D is actually a C: CGCFAD.

My favorite performance of the song, on what appears to be an older Martin 000-42: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoSn2Y-b6wI

Wow what a great version. Steve Windwood is an amazing musician. Until a couple of years ago, when my knees objected, I would ice skate 3 or 4 times a week in the cold months. Just laps, nothing fancy. "Can't Find My Way Home" was one of the songs I would skate to. On the American Bandstand scale, I give it a 90. It was easy to move to and would take me out of myself.
