    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.

    Song: Dreams Artist: The Allman Brothers Written by Gregg Allman when he was 19 years, but a nice tribute to Dickey Betts, I think.

    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.

    The Golf thread

    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

    The Hiking Thread

    We hiked the Reservoir Canyon Loop Trail today. It's located just north of San Luis Obispo, about 40 minutes from where we live. Here's the topo map of the trail. The trail head is at the top of that map, and so the trail begins and ends with the falls. Here's a short video I took of the...
