Week in Review, 2023 wk#41
Recaps, tunes, old cowboy movies, & reader's questions.
Well, my peeps, I am out of the hospital and continuing rehab on an outpatient basis. Today’s video makes me insanely jealous, as I am still trying to touch my nose with my left hand, and she’s being a show-off.
Oh yes, incidentally, we are trying ineffectively to work with State Farm Insurance and Enterprise Rentals. PJ’s car got bumped on a gate near the driveway at a slow speed. We took it to the body shop of State Farm’s choice and picked up a rental car because she takes me to rehab after my stroke.
The body shop is taking longer than they had originally thought, but State Farm won’t pay for a rental for any longer time, and Enterprise won’t do it either. The interesting thing is that we have had the same State Farm policies on our house and our cars for more than 45 years, but apparently that doesn’t buy compassion. Or customer service.
They have not seemed, in 45 years, to have any problem taking our money, but now that we need them, they are experiencing some problems. Keep you posted…
Nevertheless, the show must go on, so here we go.
And, this week, my head tunes are still stuck in the sixties. Seventeen sixties.
I hope you enjoy.

This space is for you.
Remember, there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.
And thanks for not pointing that out every chance you get.
A reader did ask who I thought I was, to be talking about all this stuff about which I am talking. About. So, in response, I will paste my short “elevator bio.”
Who am I? (Elevator bio)
I live in Nashville, Tn. Like everyone else here, I am a musician, songwriter, live music sound engineer, and recording engineer. Unlike the others, I have also played with Porsches, Maseratis, and high-end homes. I have written and published about 30 books & 800 articles. I’ve started and run some businesses in my time. I communicate.
Roger from Washington Courthouse, Ohio wants to know why sometimes he receives a Friday Revue on additional days besides Friday.
Roger, I can’t control the amount of stuff happening during the week. Google thinks it can, but really they just make one review too big for Gmail to handle. and don’t forget I’ve had a stroke and sometimes I publish all out of my head.
Keep those questions coming, and tell your remaining friends about us!
Thanks,
-don
