As Long as We're Talking About Billy Preston...

A clip of Mr. Preston and his band doing his song, "Circles." This is one we all know, I imagine, but probably don't think much about. I've always liked it quite a lot. Now it makes me wonder if any of his other songs are real ringers like this one.


I find it surprising that the audience remained seated while his band played this tight little funk rave-up. And it's got a solo on some sort of hybrid wind/keyboard instrument/toy. Is that the thing called a "hooter" maybe? I'm serious. Does anyone know?

I took this photo today, I guess. It was by accident, because I was looking at my phone later and saw this image on there. I remember trying to read a text message in the bright sunlight as I left a lunch meeting, but I couldn't see the screen. I'm guessing I mashed some wrong buttons then and ended up with this ghostly image of me scowling in the phone's general direction.

I've watched a little of the Eddie Bravo half-guard DVD Whit so kindly sent to me. He's one talented, intelligent man. It just kills me to see him be a vocal proponent of marijuana usage though.

I'll never be on board with that.

I should probably unleash a whole tirade about it, but I'm tired and my brain is shutting down. Good night.
