The Wrenshack Victory Garden

So this year has been probably the best year for the ole garden in quite some years. We have corn that is knee high by the 4th of July... eating lots of radishes already... tomatoes are on the vine... peas are climbing the fence... squash is beginning to squash it... and DellMarie ate her first two raspberries of the season today!
So... a couple pictures...

DellMarie with a bunch of radishes...


And DellMarie with the "Popster"...


And DellMarie finding her way out of the raspberry patch... she walked into it 2 days ago and finally made her way out today!


And tongiht... a 2-fer... following up with the regular guy does good with a cover...
First up... for all you old-skool Van Halen fans... an obscure gem... Big Bad Bill Is Sweet William Now... Major props to the psuedo horn solo!!


And another blast from the past from the same cat... so good I couldn't resist... I LOVE HALL & OATES... And obviously I'm not afraid to admit it... once I tried to play a early H&O greatest hits tape that Mama D bought me at some Esko garage sale and everybody at the party - including my sister - told me to shut it down!! WHAT THE HELL??
So this one's for all you Hall & Oates haters...

The Countdown Is On!

Officially less than 2 weeks out from the big TomTEN!
Excitement abounds!
Final preperations are being made... new guitar strings have been purchased... tunes are being frantically practiced... lawns will be mowed... or at least our lawn will be mowed... the Love Log is being prepared for loving and giving love... beers are being chilled... well not quite yet but...

So a new twist on the song of the week... going with the cover of the week... some wanna-be rock-star... much like me... decides to cover a tune and throw it up on YouTube... so I'm gonna pick what I think are top-notch covers... for the underdogs of the world...
Let's get it rollin' with...

Not much happenin' here... just ramping up for TomTEN...
Oh, a fun addition to the festivities will be the famous LOVE LOG!
I know I've professed my affinity for it already but be prepared to take your picture kissing/hugging/caressing/feeling-up the storied Wrenshack LOVE LOG... it will bring your lovingness a special something you can't get anywhere else... it's the Northwoods Viagra!!


And a couple new pictures of Fin... he's still most happy when he is carrying something around... so happy!!!



Alright... So I tried and tried to find a decent live vid of this tune but was unable... so you get a big nothing for visual but the Felice Bros got it happenin... check it out...

From Tomten 09....

So it's been raining and cold and windy and raining some more ever since I have gotten done with school... but hey, a crappy week off from work is still way better than a beautiful week when you have to be at work...

So, without further chatter....
The song of the week... as an enticement....

Almost forgot to rub it in....

Bring on the nasty comments... what do I care... I'll read them with a cocktail while you're at work... HA HA HA!!!!1

You're Invited.... To TomTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check it...


If you're reading this and know about TomTEN... make your best effort to come... and bring a friend!

The Northernmost Pilots

Things are ramping up... schools out in 3 days... working on new tunes... we've got a good buzz going on at work about TomTEN... of course those are all older teacher-types... but thats ok.

Just wanted to share one thing with you cats... and feel free to send me your own....
This week I'm giving an imaginary award to the "most uncomfortable feeling of the week"
And it goes to....
Driving on the Oliver bridge, which connects the tiny town of Oliver and ultimately Superior and West Duluth, while a Bazillion ton train rides on the tracks directly above you.... as the picture details... you are on the section below... and mind you, the road used to be big wood slabs instead of concrete or pavement up until 5 years or so ago....


OH... song of the week goes to...
Charlie Parr with "Loser Like Me"
