A musician friend, Joe Smothers, does a thing on Facebook that the Old Lady really appreciates.
He posts videos of himself, performing. He sings and plays his guitar, just like you would see him live on stage. No post-production, no glitzy effects, no “do-overs”… if he makes a mistake, it stays in. “That’s what happens during a live performance,” he told the Old Lady recently.
This is the kind of thing the Old Lady values on Facebook. Not “Shares”, not re-posts of funny videos (something that happened to somebody somewhere), not cute kitten pictures of unknown kitties, but real original material.

The Old Lady wishes more people would take advantage of the opportunity.

The Great Guinness Toast

February 22, 2014Ashley Street Station, Musicadmin

Continuing her search for cultural treasures in Valdosta, GA, the Old Lady attended a global event this evening: her favorite dive bar, Ashley Street Station (ASS), hosted the local participation of the Great Guinness Toast, an annual world-wide effort to perform a simultaneous toast by the largest number of people for the Guinness Book of World Records (duh!).

The annual Toast is held on the 13th of February, and in Valdosta the moment of toasting hit at 11 p.m. where 24 toasters raised their glasses at ASS. In other time zones, of course, the hour varies… in Sochi, Russia, the Toast was held at 8 a.m. A mite early for Guinness but as Sheryl Crow sang, “I like a good beer buzz, early in the morning…” Okay, okay purists, so Guinness isn’t technically a beer but an Irish Dry Stout. Forgive the Old Lady, she prefers PBR anyway.

Playing tonight at ASS was the West Virginia Slims, a local band that put the “rock” in “rockabilly.” Mike Tappan, Zane Ally, and Dudley Johnson played a straightforward rockabilly first set but their second set got down and funky and rocked the Old Lady’s world, especially the song about Tallahassee.
West Virginia Slims plays every Tuesday night at the Bleu Pub in downtown Valdosta.

FORDLANDIA

February 18, 2014Booksadmin

"A damn good read!" says the Old Lady. "And it's tasty, too!" says the Purple Dragon. — “A damn good read!” says the Old Lady. “And it’s tasty, too!” says the Purple Dragon.

The Old Lady just enjoyed reading “FORDLANDIA” by Greg Grandin, and not only because she shares her last name with the main subject.
Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, had some very strong ideas about how to restructure society to suit his modernized, mechanized world. As the inventor of the assembly line he held very rigid values about what the new world should be like. In fact, you may remember that “… a religion based on the worship of Henry Ford is a central feature of the technocracy in Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World”, where the principles of mass production are applied to the generation of people as well as to industry.” (Wikipedia)
On a final note, it is recommended sealed and stored in the refrigerator cialis online australia for grid use 15min before use.

In his later years, as Ford launched a multimillion dollar attempt to raise rubber trees in Brazil to supply his automobile industry, he applied his principles to a huge plantation named FORDLANDIA in the Amazon jungle. Building a model village that could have been transplanted in entirety from the American Midwest, he imposed his idea of American culture on the indigenous Brazilian people and on the rain forest. The ruins of his mad dream still remain in the jungle and his influence on modern industry continues to facilitate the destruction of that habitat.
This book not only contains a great deal of information about the life of Henry Ford, it provides insight into how he shaped the world we live in today. This is a must read for anyone who is not only concerned about where we are with this planet and where we are headed, but in how we got to this place.
It is also a damn good read.

Getting Well

February 15, 2014Health, Nutritionadmin

The Old Lady has been sick, really sick.
A lot of people around here have had this illness. It’s more than a cold, but a little different than the flu. It does involve a sore throat and sinus congestion, but not the trademark achiness of the flu. Some people have told the Old Lady that their doctors have prescribed round after round of antibiotics and prednisone… some people have taken four different antibiotics!… to no avail.
Now, different antibiotics do target different organisms. But isn’t the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over, expecting to see different results?
So the Old Lady took a radically different tack.
On the advice of a holistic health practitioner she turned to the health food store. Here is the list recommended by the wisdom healer:
Chlorella: a green single-celled microalgae that is rich in chlorophyll, beta-carotene, mixed carotenoids, vitamin C, iron, and protein.
Sildenafil Citrate working causes improvement of blood viagra sample free circulation in the male reproductive system. Shilajit Capsules Benefits for general health: The combination of a healthier lifestyle tadalafil tablets india and regular physical activity contributes to enhance blood veins circulation. That is referred to help as being cialis 40 mg a treatment solution. Construction Drawing Services utilize this path for making available well defined and accurate find out my site cheapest levitra set of drawings for construction. Fenu-thyme: a combination of fenugreek seed and thyme. It thins nasal mucous so that the congestion can drain away more easily.
Olive leaf, colostrum, and astragalus: all immune-system boosters.
All of these substances were taken according to label directions, in the highest maximum dosages.
As mentioned before, some people have suffered this illness literally for months without much relief.
Forty-eight hours after the Old Lady started her regimen of naturally-derived, plant-based substances, she is remarkably better.

MYSTERY SHOPPER

February 6, 2014Uncategorizedadmin

From time to time the Old Lady works as a Mystery Shopper.
She has shopped clothing stores, drugstores, auto service departments, convenience stores, restaurants, and new car dealerships… and been paid for reporting on their customer service.
You won’t get rich as a Mystery Shopper; the pay is minimal but adequate. It is interesting work, as each assignment is different. It is great practice for a writer.

Co-Cola Controversy

February 5, 2014Uncategorizedadmin

The Old Lady did not watch the Super Bowl. It wasn’t a statement; she had to work.

But the nice thing about the Super Bowl these days is that the parts people really talk about – the commercials – hit the internet even before the game hits the air.

And yes, the Old Lady cried over the puppy and the horse.

With the fast paced life everyone leads today, it only makes sense that the best hair loss treatments would incorporate these herbs viagra from india online into their product. Erectile dysfunction takes place due to insufficient blood supply to viagra price online learningworksca.org the penile tissue. This is the main reason that the cancer disease and ageing can be prevented in a natural way. viagra 50 mg For the erection generic viagra uk to occur, it is important that you carefully discuss with your doctor on the various possible causes of this condition. But the one that’s really got her going is the one for Co-Cola (the Old Lady’s hometown is Atlanta, so that brand name has never had more than three syllables for her). Apparently, some people are up in arms because they had to hear “America the Beautiful” sung in languages other than English – or maybe, just maybe, because one of the families featured is a gay couple. Whatever.

The Old Lady doesn’t even drink soda anymore, but she is tempted to quaff a cold Co-Cola at this point in time, not necessarily to support the company but just to thumb her nose at the small-minded and big-mouthed people who are attacking this ad.

So there.

Ashley Street Station

February 2, 2014Fun, MusicAshley Street Stationadmin

Ashley Street Station is no longer on Ashley Street.
The Old Lady loved that hole-in-the-wall dive bar. The constant stream of live bands, local and imported, helped her maintain a shred of sanity when she first moved to Valdosta.
So she was saddened to hear the place had moved.
However, she is happy to report that the new location on Baytree near VSU is comfortably familiar. Same guitars on the wall interspersed with posters of ate-up looking punk stars of the past.

Same lineup of skulls over the bar.

And LIVE MUSIC.

Playing first tonight was Hot Hands from Orlando. This power-rock duo warmed the place up nicely. They’re headed next to Tallahassee and then Pensacola. You can hear their music at http://hothandsband.com/

If cialis generic usa we look at the low cost of the medicine is too long for about 5 to 6 hours. Use it once after kamagra orderbefore you making sex with spouse. tadalafil overnight http://secretworldchronicle.com/tag/amphitrite/ Bile acids irritate bile buy viagra in usa ducts, sphincter of Oddi, duodenum and even stomach, esophagus and colon. Blacklists are basically lists of know domains that send out unsolicited email, which is very our link best online viagra difficult to get over the trouble.

Break for band change and a beer.

Next up, Sin, a local Valdosta band. Again, a duo. But this guitarist is totally manic, a crazy man onstage. His name is Jimi Davies. He introduced a song about Aldous Huxley’s book “Doors of Perception” which he says he read last year, which the Old Lady read in 1968. Everything old is new again. Anyway, Jimi is a one-man wall of sound, backed up by Rred Freeman on drums. Their next gig is at the Bleu Pub on February 15, and the Old Lady plans to be there.

Last on the bill: Kyle Chamberlain and the Dirty Birds. Kyle has been out of town for a while, and he has gotten even better than the last time the Old Lady had the pleasure of hearing him. This band gets down and funky with some southern whiteboy dirty blues that had the Old Lady yelling “Collard greens!”
If you get a chance to hear the Dirty Birds, go! Listen to the Old Lady!

Green Eggs and SPAM

February 1, 2014Bloggingadmin

The Old Lady has learned one of the sad realities of blogging: blogs get SPAMMED. A lot.
I don’t know how blog spamming works; these would-be posts seem to have nothing at all to do with the subject of the blog. Most appear to be from out of the country, attempting to funnel readers to websites that sell various medications. There is, however, some unintended humor to be found in their wording (or mis-wording).
The Old Lady is not allowing these messages to post, but she couldn’t resist sharing some of the more choice lines she has seen:
It is advised by the doctors to have the cheapest 100mg viagra for sale canada with the help of water but an hour before you start with sex. In brand cialis 20mg 1949, it produced the first 8-strand ropes. Also known as the generic dose of shop viagra online , the medicine gained timely recognition due to the positive results. Many men, especially men who consider themselves too young to need levitra prices in the first place, are often embarrassed to admit that erectile dysfunction (ED) has impacted their lives. “Whenever you accomplish the particular barrier regarding second there?s 55 several years you’d probably greater begin keeping track of the particular cholesterol an individual use up!”
“An ideal exit for guys who definitely are not happy while using the dimensions in their penises.”
“Exactly what antibiotics? All the info you’ll need to never kill by yourself simply by medications!”
And who could resist the high-powered salesmanship utilized in this line:
“This particular thirty day period we market most effective in addition to well-known antibiotics having insane special discounts! Speed approximately purchase it!”
