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!

With every passing day, December 25th gets closer and closer. For anyone out there that celebrates Christmas, I’d like to offer up some timely tips for possible gifts, for those hard-to-please folks on your list:
Jewelry is always a popular choice, but this year, why not consider jewelry made from recycled automotive parts?? Anybody can wear a diamond, but there are literally hundreds of small parts used to power motor vehicles, that might look quite unique. Worth a thought, at least…
Books will never be a bad choice, unless of course you are waiting for that now-cancelled O.J. Simpson book. Try something lighter instead, like “Attila & The Huns– Oh Yeah, We Were Naaaasty”…
You can really bring a smile to a young man’s face with a shiny new banjo. Give the gift of music this Christmas, and make the world a brighter place!!!
Speaking of the gift of music, one gift that always rocks is a CD or DVD. Unless that gift is a recording of Enya. She does NOT rock…
A unique Christmas gift is a year’s supply of soup. Any Costco will gladly sell you barrels of the stuff, and with enough chicken noodle soup running through your system, you’ll never get another cold!!!
Did I mention the smile on any man’s face, that a new or used banjo would bring???
Chow for now!!

I have no concerns with this particular rant,because Mr.ThatDanGuy said, and I quote:
"You can really bring a smile to a young man’s face with a shiny new banjo."
The key word above is YOUNG! No concerns here!
Cheers!
Mrs. ThatDanGuy
Ouch!!!!!!
Sacre Bleu!!!
I have to agree on that Mrs. I thought the same thing. Sorry Dano. And, what's wrong with Enya? You just may get pooped on alot today...or sacre bleued??
Sigh....
Blood is indeed thicker than banjo strings...
And nothing is wrong with Enya, she was just the most mellow artist I could think of at that time of the morning...
How about John Tesh??? Yanni??
Alvin & The Chipmunks???
Feeling older by the minute,
That Dan Guy...
I think if Banjo Quest were a National thing you would get mroe support. I would offer up my services as a Western representative but since you are in Cowtown I believe you have that area covered.
I think you need to break in the East much like a popular Political party. You will of course need to speak Eastern Canadianese which to all of us living in the flatlands know it is nearly impossible.
I think the borderline is Thunder Bay or Fort William for you oldtimers.
Hey, National unity always worked for the Liberals so why not a banjoless That Dan Guy!?!!?
The key word above is YOUNG! No concerns here!
Ah yes more words of wisdom from Mrs.That Dan Guy.
Me thinks Spring chicken his no more spring hobbit may be a better choice.
Yes!!
Banjo Quest MUST go national!!
If any of the three or four people reading this blog send it to at least three or four of their friends, this quest just might start to spread like wildfire (the force of nature, not the 70's song)!!!
I ask for support from other members of the banjo community as well. Perhaps a voice of authority may yet bend the iron will of Mrs.That Dan Guy!!
Vive Le Banjoooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Et tu, argy.ca??
Et tu???
Sorry. That iron will of mine is unbendable!
Forget the viva la banjo and remember "Banjofooey!". A much catchier and more resilient slogan for any winning party!
Live on Banjo Fooey live on!

Gotta be diplomatic in these times for political uncertainty and turmoil.
Heck there's Eastern borders to be crossed before the end of the year.
Perhaps maybe we think too small.
GLOBAL may be the obvious choice.
Perhaps you should bite off more than you can chew. What am I saying. Since when have you never been able to finish off what you've bitten? Har, har!!
tbiqz
Political correctness, and diplomacy - the scourges of our modern times...
Bah!!
And now, I must go bite something....
