    RIP Dickie Betts

    Yes. That same article I read said that the song "Jessica" was written when Dickey Betts was watching his daughter at play. She was just jumping around and in a happy mood, and he tried to capture that in the song that he named for her.

    RIP Dickie Betts

    Back story: I read somewhere that Dickey Betts wrote this when he was sneaking off with Boz Scaggs's girlfriend, whose name translated to "Blue Sky." I don't know if it's true, but it's a good story.

    I've never been a Tiger Woods fan, but he showed some character this week. His body is broken and he can't compete with the best players anymore, but rather than withdrawing after a horrible third round, he gutted it out on Sunday and finished last overall of the people that made the cut. I...

    Song: Late To The Party Artist: Andrew Synowiec We went to Lost Chord again last night - it's a small venue in Solvang, CA that features local artists. Andrew Synowiec is very talented - sometimes he sounded like Pat Metheny, other times he sounded like Al Di Meola or Frank Zappa. At one...

    Your Moment of Zen
