After years of often daily attempts at humour and virtually any stray thought I could snare on my keyboard, I'm changing the name of this space from Such Is Life, to May I Present:. That should still allow me to post on a wide variety of topics, but steer the focus for readers to my most common writing efforts now, on Folk, Roots, Blues & Americana music!

Just like in the holiday movie Polar Express, if you believe, Christmas wishes do come true...
Banjo Quest 2006 ended on a happy note, with a banjo under our Christmas tree. And, I now will be spending much of 2007 learning at least how to tune the damn thing.
Mrs. That Dan Guy has agreed to allow me to practice whenever I want to, as long as she's nowhere near the house.
She has also suggested that perhaps I set the bar too low for Banjo Quest 2006. With that in mind, there's no time like the present to unveil Cadillac Escalade Quest, 2007!! I've always dreamed of one day being able to drive to the corner grocery store, in the rare degree of comfort offered by the Cadillac Corporation. To feel plush leather beneath my plush derriere; to have the strains of Snoop Dogg droppin' it like it's hot, all the way down the block...
Ladies and gentlemen, Cadillac Escalade Quest, 2007 - for the dreamer in all of us...
Chow for now!!

Yes folks, it is true. A banjo it was and a banjo it is.
But, I have to say, if you could have seen the big grin on Mr. That Dan Guy's face on Xmas morning when he opened that package, it was all worth it!
He drove me crazy for 2 days! Wanting to feel the gift, wanting to pick the gift up to see how heavy it was, wanting to get up at 4am on Xmas morning! Yup, he is just one big kid!
Now, he picks up his banjo, big grin and starts pickin! So, perhaps little sister and brother-in-law, I won't make you pay. Your generous banjo gift will keep this wild and crazy man of mine occupied and out of trouble! (Well, I can believe in miracles too!)
So, Christmas miracles really do come true.
Thus, I retire the Banjo Fooey 2007 slogan. And what the heck, I join the Cadillac Quest 2007!

I guess we can call it the Miracle on Tuscany Avenue.
BTW wil the column change to That Jed Guy?
There's never enough Jethros in the world.
BTW nice photshopping on the grey hair. Looks realistic.
Spoken like a good sport. Mrs. That Dan Guy. That's the spirit.
God bless us, everyone....
Miracle at the very least!!
I was also considering "Danbilly Chronicles"...
Corn starch!!
I suppose i could have answered all of those comments with just one reply....
Wattaya gonna do??
The picture is just how I pictured you with Banjo in hand. I don't recall your missing tooth before, nice touch, perhaps you had it ripped off by some salt water taffy.
Keep on dreaming of your new quest, you never know. Maybe guy and I will do well playing go fish!
I believe!
Well Mrs, it seems your heart has grown three times it's size when you witnessed a child's excitement on xmas morning....another xmas miracle!
p.s. nice socks
That picture should help me with my low self-esteem issues...
