“Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo” – Ennio Morricone
Back at the Mandala Tea Room in Scottsdale – they have free wireless. That is a good thing, as Martha might say. Why doesn’t Starbucks have free wireless? I am not a fan of Starbucks, but as they have stores EVERYWHERE it would be very convenient for my parking-lot wireless hunts. And, as they are a big corporation, you’d think they’d be able to afford it verses the little independent places, which almost always have free wireless. But I guess that’s just the way it is for the little guys… like independent musicians who give their music away for free verses major labels.
Anyway, I just finished sending out the June Newsletter and cleaning my inbox. Now I am ready to reward myself with some vegan dessert and hopefully get out and enjoy the sunshine before I play Three Roots tonight.

Today’s song is one of my all-time faves from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I thought I should slip this ultimate desert-song into the playlist before I head to the Pacific tomorrow. Right now the guys at the tea room are playing Radiohead again – I always forget how much I like them. I think it’s because Radiohead fans tend to overwhelm me. I suppose that’s how people feel around us Phishheads. You can’t even compare the two.
