How it started vs. how it’s going. I switched from book writin’ to song writin’ this afternoon after I got some lyrics jumping around in my silly brain. I switched to open tuning and immediately caught a fish (my term for managing to pull a song from the ether)! Yay!

Flashback Friday! Here I am hanging out with my Grampa John Gogo a few years back. I called him “Pommy”. I have no idea why!

Canadians landing at Juno Beach on this day. We offer this tribute. "On the sand you wrote your name with the blood of liberty And died in a foreign land so that others might be free It’s a spirit that the world still needs amidst the wars and refugees." www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii79...

This is my first D-Day anniversary without my hero and D-Day veteran Dr Roly Armitage. We owe an incredible debt of gratitude to those who served on that historic day 81 years ago. We must never forget.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

It was certainly a pleasant surprise to get nominated yesterday alongside these talented peeps. Voting is now open for those eligible. Unlike the Juno Awards, I’ve actually won a couple of these, dating back to the West Coast Music Awards!

Covering another artist’s song can be challenging (especially if it’s The Beatles!), but it’s cool if you can bring something fresh to it. Lucinda’s version of I’m Looking Through You brings a gravity and sadness to the lyrics that I never noticed before in the rather jaunty original. I can dig it!

I found this pic of Stevie Ray Vaughan on the interwebs. He is wearing the belt that he gave me. It’s cool to see it in action! @rockinbluesshow.bsky.social

Men in masks are kidnapping people off the street.They are being sent to El Salvadorean prison camps and South Sudan. Trump is creating a new Gulag system where people can be disappeared beyond legal protection. My latest on the attack on the rule of law. charlieangus.substack.com/p/american-g...

A couple of post show pics from Crofton with Steve Marriner and Grant Payne (The Sasquatch). Good fun on a Sunday afternoon. Reminded me of the matinee shows that I have played in Holland.

Happy 86th (!) birthday to Mott The Hoople’s Ian Hunter. No longer a young dude! I once saw him and Ian MacLagan chatting in a hotel lobby in Austin. I approached them and stated “My two favourite Rock And Roll Ians!!”!

As much as I can dig the more sophisticated finger style players, I am more drawn to the rougher sounds of Robert Petway, Son House and Charley Patton. Robert Johnson seems like a happy compromise. Willie Brown and Kid Bailey are incredible, but we only have 2 songs by each of them.

We live in absolutely kooky times. Chaos everywhere. I wonder what it would be like if Lenny Bruce were around today and had access to social media? Ahhh, who am I kidding? He would be too cool for that!
