Cyn and I saw Billy McLaughlin last night. He is an impressive guitarist. He plays acoustic guitars in the two hand tapping style. (That means he doesn't press the string with one hand and pluck it with the other, he presses the string abruptly enough that it vibrates so he doesn't have to strum it. And he does this with both hands, so he can play twice as many notes as the average player). I've seen it done before, but Billy plays with the right hand over the neck playing the low strings.

He looked kind of odd. He plays with his eyes closed or rolled back in his head, and he sways back and forth. With the odd way he holds the guitar, he looked like Stevie Wonder playing a clarinet.

Jeff Arundel was the opening act. He is a good guitarist, and his singer, Carrie Noble is a great singer.

unwanted mail

I wish I knew where I've used my e-mail address. I've had it for almost two years, and just this last month, I've started getting a lot of spam there. I thought I had been careful with it. I use my yahoo e-ddress for signing up for things at websites, and I don't think I get quite as much there.

Bull

Energy drinks company Red Bull us launching LunAqua, water that will only be bottled "under the glare of the full moon." LunAqua Pure Element and LunAqua Dynamic - which will contain a caffeine boost equivalent to a can of cola - will be bottled 13 times a year.

Why would they screw up the moon's influence with caffeine?

white cranberries

Has anyone tried (or seen) Ocean Spray's white cranberry juice? It is supposed to be "milder."
