For the past 3 days I've been putting a new section of roof on my house. Miserable hard physical work compared to my regular day job. To make the job less tedious I patched the XM radio into my sound studio in the attic so's I could listen to Hank's Place.
Just about the time I'm ready to crash from fatigue, a good BE lick comes on, and it's such a pick-me-up. Amazing.
One thing I've found out though, hammers, roofing nails, and steel playing hands don't necessarily get along. My bar thumb is taking quite a beating...

Hold the hammer in your left hand, in order to preserve your bar thumb...

Listening to steel is always theraputic for me. Seems like it's always good for you.

Unless it's "Teach your Children"...

Seriously, though, watch your hands around hammers and power tools.

It's even more theraputic when you can still go play yourself!

Here in town our local radio station plays the real country music. I lay down at night and turn the radio on and listen to some good music and hear some good steel while drifting off into LaLa Land.
