Welcome Paradoxers!
This blogspot will be our new home to share updates on everyone's new cd's, links to music venues, and other activities.
You can also post remembrances, photos, and any other memorabilia you would like to share. It would be great if this could become like an archive for the Paradox -- then and now.
More information to follow as I figure this out. In the meantime, please add your comments and keep the site alive and growing.
Hi Sherry, . We missed you! Love the tractor. We have a cash for clunker Plymouth van in the driveway that sounds just like it. Think I'll grab my guitar and head out for a "Drivway Duet"
There was this moment of Zen, when I left my Chicago Holiday Inn Room to grab a Coke from the machine at the end of the hall. As I came around the corner, I saw Jay, our drummer standinga the machine with five cans of soda at his feet.
"Gimme fifty cents" (gives you an idea how long ago this was), he said, "and listen to this!"
So I gave him the change, he hit the button, and the machine went into this really cool bit of funk syncpation. REALLY cool. How cool was it? Listen to "If I'd Only Come and Gone" off our second album. That's Jay, playing a beat he stole off a soda machine.
At the Dirt House in El Modena our Fridge squeeked a perfect A440 and we used it regularly to tune our guitars. It was too bulky to take on the road but it was handy when you were at home. Tuners have made serious progress since those days.

I saw the tractor at Bob and Helen's but didn't know it was there to perform.....
This gets my vote for best new post! Nice work Sherry.
Sherry, you've made my morning.
(I have a thing for old tractors)
Oh, that's right..... I forgot about that! Perfect!
And for something totally different, here's my favorite youtube video/s if you are up for a walk on the wilder side.
(Proof that music is a universal language.)

I'm the only one who loves the Red Army Choir? I'm crushed....

Well, what can I say....
Definitely worth three of my Russian Armies -- even with the guy singing harmony who seems like he _kind of_ gets it!
I still like this one.

Maybe this is what Rand needs to look for at his next rummage sale?
