happy rockin' July 4th!

Rockit Radio just posted their 1000th show on July 3, pretty exciting to be part of it, and no doubt I'm one of the more obscure sounds ever heard on the Internet, after all, that's the fun of it for me.

Today is the 4th of July - you've heard of it. At 1, I'm due at the Wagmanblues.com backyard party, possibly to be raided by the cops...or as Wagman himself wrote...

"Friends,

Well, my whole neighborhood got together 2 days ago and held a
meeting to discuss the concerns that they had about me having
parties with live nusic in my backyard. I attended the meeting.

Some objected to the loudness of the music, some to the parking
impact, others just to the number of events. There were a few who
expressed positive feelings about the events, but it was less than
10% of the crowd.

Also invited were four uniformed Long Beach police officers who
told me "We will come and put you in handcuffs and take you to
jail if it gets out of control." All this, just for having a party
in my backyard.

Personally, I have never really found the idea of incarceration
particularly appealing. And I don't think I can expect the ACLU to
jump in on this one."

After we get bailed out, we go to Chris & Sally Flicker's annual 4th party in Downey later in the afternoon, and might watch fireworks this time out.

Happy Birthday U.S.A.
