If you said, "Billy Joel, from the album Glass Houses, 1980," you get 12 bonus points. Partial credit given for partial answers. And, speaking of Billy Joel, there is a good documentary about him on Max, "Billy Joel: And So It Goes."
We watched it last weekend - very interesting. If you are a Billy Joel fan, I recommend it.
Today is a rare Monday music day. The Hip Replacements haven't all been in Phoenix at the same time for over a month. And Ron will be leaving for another month+ trip to the Pacific Northwest. Mark and Cindy will be in New York and the northeast for half of August and September. Podge is always traveling. And me? I never go anywhere, never have any fun.
But, today we are all here and will be making music. The amp I ordered is supposed to arrive at the store today, so it won't be in time to use it today. Maybe tomorrow. It still took me 4 trips to the car to get my gear in.

A fun practice with the guys today - we work well together, so even though it has been over a month since we've all been in town at the same time, everything came together nicely. We have some gigs booked after we're back together again - more summer travel plans.
Cindy surprised me today with cookies from Crumbl. With my birthday coming up, this is the only opportunity with us all together. She put a candle on one of the cookies - is that "a candl on the Crumbl?" ;-)
And, the obligatory Birthday Song. BIG cookies, btw; and my favorite: chocolate chunk.

This evening, another nice thing...
It wasn't a lot, but it has been 105 days since any measurable precip, so we'll gladly take it. Of course, before the rain came down, a gust front full of sand and dirt blew in first. Here's a photo from one of the TV stations, taken east of here...
