A LOUSY WAY TO END 2009

Just wanted to share this message from Hash Brown, who had equipment stolen from his van IN HIS OWN BACK YARD on 12/30.

He's taking the zen approach about it - "...happy to be in a new year and a new decade and looking forward to it." , but this kind of stuff really pisses me off. It's not like any of us are getting rich playing the blues. Hell, thanks to the lousy economy and cutbacks in gigs, it's damn near becoming a labor of love - for the love only. Some gutless moron stealing the tools of your trade is high on the scale of evil for me.

Anyway, in case you're out looking for gear and happen across any of his stuff, here's his message:

Friends,

I was the victim of theft of musical equipment taken from my
van parked in my driveway at my home in Dallas, TX(east of White Rock Lake)

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29TH IS NATIONAL CAT DAY!!

Good Lord, will she EVER shut up and feed us? Starsky & Hutch hanging out in Catopia.

Thursday, October 29th, 2009 is National Cat Day. My own kitties, Starsky & Hutch (named after the original TV show, not that ridiculous movie) wouldn't ever let me forget it if I didn't mention it. They are a constant source of love and amusement for me. They have been brought up on the blues, and bless their purring little hearts, have become somewhat of blues purists. Case in point - on Wednesday nights, they will sleep peacefully through Scott's Texas Blues Radio program, but the moment it's over and Dave Chao's "Twisted Kicks" comes on, they raise thier heads, glare at the radio, and leave the room!

So in honor of Starsky & Hutch and cool kitties everywhere, I'll be talking about National Cat Day on my show Thursday, as well as playing a special kitty blues - Hudson & the HooDoo Cats "I Like Kitties". If you love cats, you don't want to miss it.

You can find out more about National Cat day at http://www.nationalcatday.com/

Here's some info from that web site:

National Cat Day was founded by Pet Lifestyle Expert & Animal Behaviorist, Colleen Paige to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of cats that need to be rescued each year and also to encourage cat lovers to celebrate the cat(s) in their life for the unconditional love and companionship they bestow upon us.Estimates reveal that there are approximately 4 million cats entering shelters every year with 1-2 million being euthanized. Often cats are overlooked and under-appreciated because they don't usually have jobs like dogs. But cats still lower blood pressure, offer unconditional love and companionship and alert their owner of danger.Cats have so many puuuurrrrsonalities and there is so much to love about them! Even if you can't adopt a cat, offer to volunteer to clean a cage or sit and play with a cat for a while. Who knows? You may just fall in love!Please visit your local shelter on October 29th, offering love and life by adopting a homeless cat. The goal of National Cat Day is to facilitate the adoption of 10,000 shelter cats nationwide on October 29th.

Of course, if you are as lucky as me, and are already owned by some wonderful cat(s), it's a great day to let the love and catnip flow.

The Egyptians worshiped cats as Gods. Cats have never forgotton this.
