Fringey's taut-abbed painter

I think that was my point. I was not equating old with lame, if that's how you read it.

My BBBS kid (18 this month!) listens to music we grew up with when she's here and she likes it....as long as we don't tell her she should like it, in which case she immediately deems it unworthy of her time.

Let me guess. Friday is "all you can eat" day somewhere.

The Strip House they have been installing on the first floor of my building is finally open. It is a restaurant.

Noses run in my family.

Having something in the skull (besides Less's hot throbbing member) runs in mine.

What's your deal with noses -- people sticking them in your business, your family having them . . .

The refrigerator runs in my house.

Not feet?

I hope no other organ runs in your family.

I read the request as being music that the kid could both enjoy listening to and could eventually learn to play along with.

I'd add:

blues records of several varieties. People mentioned Buddy Guy and B.B. King. Also consider guys like Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker (he'll only need to know one chord, but he'll learn how to use the shit out of it).

Once he learns the blues basics, stuff like Bo Diddley and ZZ Top (and, alas, George Thoroughgood-- bleah) are easily within his reach. Once the kid can play a decent "La Grange," he's pretty much set for poontang through high school.

With a few Allman Bros. albums, he can also use blues basics to work up some slide guitar skills and learn to play a doubled riff as the harmony line. Speaking of slide guitar, get him a older Bonnie Raitt album or two, so he doesn't develop some dumbass machismo about guitar playing.

I'd also turn him on to Dire Straits' first few albums. Teach him how to create a whole different sound by finger picking, and why you don't always need to cram a billion notes into a solo to make it work.

Once he starts getting cocky and you want to take him down a peg, lay some of the Steve Carlton-era Steely Dan on him, and see if he can nail the "Kid Charlemagne" solo and outro by ear.

If they're smart, and I'm sure they are, they'll fill the bottles with water up to where they started and they'll take some out of a lot of bottles so that there isn't much dilution. And they'll try to drink more vodka than anything because that's the one that all their friends will tell them smells the least like alcohol on your breath.
I'm just saying.

I did that, too -- but if she tries it, I will catch her because I only keep brown liquor in the house, and I drink it neat.

(and wine, but we don't have enough bottles that Mrs. Not Bob wouldn't notice that one is missing)

Easy on yourself -- not surprisingly, you focused on the "organs" part of Sebby' post (tee hee).

Oh. I assume that everyone on here is drop-dead gorgeous and of supermodel proportions. If you ask them, they will probably tell you I have assumed correctly.

You're only half right with regard to some of us. Fringey is of drop-dead proportions.

This is exactly my question. Thanks to everyone for all the recommendations. I'll have to go back and reread them and try to figure out what everyone meant when they mentioned all those names because I'm clueless when it comes to picking out actual albums to buy and would never have thought of some of those names.

But will my nephew not think they are cool because they come from his aunt? Even though, odds are, I've never listened to much of the music?
