Four hours until our big show tonight at the Mint. Harry Dean Stanton is on after us.  I’ve just restrung my Tele with  D’Addario EJ 17s which I bought in bulk before the tour.  My buddy Leland was too kind and polished my frets for me. They sparkle. I should have polished my boots too. Maybe I’ll bust out my lizards instead. 

When the band and I visited my family back in New York my pops gave me my great-grandfathers felt fedora.  I may bust it out tonight. It’s brown, not red, so thankfully no Linux jokes are coming my way.
