Those mortal words, as rendered by one Johnny Winter, apply to myself of late, and I'm sorry. Been a little busy, although I haven't much to show for it, wonder how that works? At any rate, while on the subject of rock n' roll, sorry to see that Lou Reed proceeded to the Velvet Underground of late. I didn't get him when he was originally gathering fame, there was a guy who lived down the hall, Doug Kroll, who went on and on about Mr. Reed, but he was just too far from my Summer of Love roots. I caught on a little later, and while much of his stuff I find less than appealing, he also had some classics, and one of the best live rock n' roll albums of all time. How can you resist, "but despite all the amputations, she could dance to the rock n' roll stations "? Maybe not genius but talent for sure. Good job Lou. Check out the guitar intro to Sweet Jane on Rock n' Roll animal. Steve Hunter and Mr. Wright (forgot the first name, Dan maybe?). As far as textural rock and roll playing goes, it doesn't get a whole lot better.
Fishing, oh yes. Well we've been pluggin' out the dorado pretty regularly at Muertos, along with some late season marlin and even some sails. Then last week the northerlies seemed to kick in for real, and so we'll keep catchin' dorado as they flush out from up north. Bait has been bonito of late, and some squid.
Over in Boboville, Capt. Chris has been punchin' along. Last week had some rain, which actually did dampen things a bit, but generally he's been making people happy. Reports from this week, at least his first day, Tuesday, said that they found some bait ball activity down south, fairly much inshore, and they took six marlin in the morning, with 2 more escaping before we could let them go. That and some yellow tail did the day, and at last report he was going to head north to the Thetis today, with hopes and flags flying high. I know Terry, I'm blabbering, but watchin' that kid step up, do well, take his licks, get up and do it again gives me positive feelings that I feel pressed to describe.
Thanks for "Watching",
David
