I did my annual session on Hypertension with the second year medical students in Pharmacology today. I'd been long scheduled for it, with an invitation from the Pharmacology professors to bring along my guitar as I'd played for them before (when I was practicing up to play Dark Was The Night for our pre-Easter church service and didn't want to leave it out in the cold car, and got asked to play it when everybody noticed it in the corner.) But for a variety of reasons I just haven't been playing much lately and just about bagged it. Decided to go on and give it a shot with Lonnie Mack's Oreo Cookie Blues. Lord, it was rough, and I ought to be ashamed of myself for inflicting it on them, but it's such a great, funny song that they loved it. I didn't quite understand that the thing that looked kind of like a remote control for the video projector they stuck in my shirt pocket was actually a digital recorder, and the whole thing's going up on the University's Blackboard site. I should've practiced more!

Bet there were some picture phones being snapped as well. Maybe we'll get to see your performance on YouTube.... :P
And here I thought you were going to talk about the Boy Scouts.

And when I'm feelin' blue, the guitar's comin' through to soothe me ~

Well, I thought I probably shouldn't talk about having pulled out my Johnson in front of all those people. That's not something I'm used to doing, you know.

Your Reso would be far more appropriately played in front of a group of Urology students, wouldn't it? 8)
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

Well, I told 'em I was trying to stay on topic for Pharmacology. Didn't know any good songs about hypertension. If we were discussing nephrolithiasis I could've done Stones In My Passway. But I had a good song about the helplessness of addiction.

Here's a good Ween tune for a urology group: P*** up a Rope. Got a really nice alt country feeling.

What is it you do Ric? (A more intelligent person may have figured it out from your post, but I'm unsure if you are a pharmacist or a MD or a RN or something I'm not thinking of)
I'm a family doc. Med school faculty for the last 20 1/2 years.

Cool!
As for the recording, I KNOW it's bad!
Or as R.L. Burnside used to say, "It's bad, you know."

Very cool Ricochet, I can't believe you have time for us here! :D
I end up sitting in front of a computer a lot while I'm waiting on the residents and students to come discuss their patients.
