Hello and Hooray. Another glorious day. Feeling full of life
and love after another five days of fun in the California sun. TGIF though, and
I’m not the kind of guy who says things like TGIF. I like TGIA better. Thank
God I’m alive and you can say that any day. It’s fine
Many moons ago I was a freshman and The University of
Massachusetts and CDs were a big new thing. My mom sent me a special package,
which included a nice note on the CD, “Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. It
was a very meaningful gift to me and I’m glad I found my way to playing this
song after all this time. I seem to be developing a snazzy, stylish way of
covering Simon and Garfunkel tunes, as this seems to be a sibling of my “The
Sounds of Silence” cover from a month or so ago. Hallelujah. I love you.

I’ve been meaning to get to this one. I even tried it yesterday,
but it went horribly awry. Today, we actually honor Number 19, unlike my awkward
almost offering yesterday.
A few days ago would have been San Diego icon Tony Gwynn’s
birthday. He passed away a few years back. He was from here, starred in
football and baseball at San Diego State. Then Tony was the best thing ever
about the San Diego Padres by a lot for 20 years. He was a first ballot Hall of
Famer and then coached the San Diego State Aztecs baseball team, which played
in Tony Gwynn Stadium, until his tragic death of mouth cancer a couple years
back. Damn tobacco.
I had love for Tony even as a boy back in New Jersey. I
remember he first came up in 1982 and his 1983 Topps rookie card was a personal
favorite. So, I wrote this blues tune the day Tony Gwynn died and he is still
hugely missed in San Diego. Peace Tony.

Here’s some helpful hints. I even broke it down in the end
to four simple steps. Enjoy, learn, and love “The Guide to A Good Life.”
