It’s not what happens but how we choose to think/feel/act that matters.
I’m learning this (and, apparently have been for some time now LoLoL).
Just thought it may be timely or helpful. ????
Nancy, I (Andy) could not agree with you more. How we REACT is precisely what we have COMPLETE CONTROL over in this life. We can choose to be angry…or hurt…or offended….or whatever…. but we can also choose to NOT allow anything to change how we react to anything. It is completely ours.
It ain’t easy. But what worthwhile is?
LOVE your comment!
I don’t think our life flashes before us when we die. As more of my musical heroes pass on, When they die my life with their music passes before my eyes.
THAT is actually a very cool concept, Chuck. I (Andy) may steal that and use that idea somehow in a s ong. Not how exactly… but I just LOVE the concept…… In my notebook of ideas it goes.
Thank you, brother.
All the trucker in Ottawa were talking about maybe doing a concert to get more people out to see how peaceful it is and to get more good media attention.
I told them to get yoka Ono if the want it to end quickly
???????????????? That will be the way Elm Treason ends (when that time comes)… we will announce a double LP of Yoko Ono covers.
LOL.
Very good, Darcy!
Am furious. The guy who plays the tambourine, triangle, shakers, Tom Tom drums, marakers, has left the band. There will be re-percussions
???????????????????????? I (Andy), admittedly, did not see that coming…. VERY WELL played, Paul.
What can i say,how much we love ET, how long is a piece of string, all quiet here in OZ, our borders are closed, we cant go anywhere, but we are safe, the virus is only just entering our state now.
Here is a pic of my two fur kids who keep me sane.
Hi Shirl!
We NEVER EVER get tired of hearing how much you connect with what we do. It’s a grand gift.
A piece of string is much like a lyric… it is finite in one way, but between either end is an endless cavalcade of possibility, destination and melody… the string itself id deceptive…but its potential is magic.
I (Andy) am glad to hear you are safe and in good spirits.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the picture. What are their names, Shirl?
Congratulations Andy and family on the news if your grandy.
Thank you, Shirl.
It hasn’t sunk in yet.
I keep thinking, “Wait. Aren’t I just a tad too young for this????”
Realizing I started all this very early and that I am fortunate enough to be “in the pink” for upcoming grandad duties with a spirit that still feels (and acts) like its 25, I’m good to go. There ain’t no “grampa music” coming from this soul and there ain’t gonna be no stodgy grampa attitude showering out over this child, it’s all good.
Thank you much.
I love it guys. You rock!! You sure are a funny bunch 🙂 Keep safe dudes. Love the CD’s. Music is wonderful, songs are awesome. Thank you..
So good to hear from you, Alice. Bobby and I (Andy) just LOVE hearing how much the music connects with you.
And yeah, we dig sharing the smiles… there are just too many places where bad feelings are easily accessible. We try to make that a difficult task here. 🙂
Rock on, sister!
Congrats Andy and daughter on the birth announcement! We are expecting our first Grandchild (a boy) due March 3rd and we are over the moon! I told my daughter that when I hold him for the very first time I’m going to cry like a baby. She replied, “Great! A big crying baby holding a small crying baby!” It will be a nice Kodak moment. Get your camera ready!
Wow. CONGRATS, brother! HUGE HUGE congrats on being a grandpa for the first time.
My wife and I (Andy) will be the “daycare” when my daughter returns to work after her naternity leave… This child will KNOW great music. 🙂
Congratulations to your daughter Andy!!
I sincerely hope the BEST for their child.
I know you will be an AWESOME Grand Dad.
Thanks, Mark. I (Andy) feel WAY WAY too young to be grandpa…. And yet, this will be awesomely cool, because ain’t no grandkid ever had a grandpa like this! (That’s the goal!) I will be “Rockpop!”
this totally cheered up a kind of bad day . love the music you guys put out and the humor of all of the newsletters
Hi Cindy! Good day! Please forgive the delay in getting back to you. 🙂 If this newsletter every wekk can, at the very least, bring a smile, then we have done our job. The fact that you also dig our music is a serious bonus. THAT put a huge smile on our faces.
Rock on!
Hope you’ll be reading every week!
Be well, Cindy.
Once again I just have to say thank you guys! And Congratulations Andy to you and your family! I listen to your music everyday. We enjoy it so much. Keep jamming out the tunes! Two talented guys ya are! Really enjoy newsletters too! Peace!
Hi Carolyn! Andy here.
Appeciate the very kind words regarding my daughter. 🙂 Still kind of feels like a dream.
We love that our music is a part of your daily routine. There’s nothing quite as magical as that. Our gratitude is off the chart (and believe me, our chart covers a LOT of territory. LOL).
Rock on. Be well.
Brothers……
Love the news letter
Love your great music
Thank you for your hard work
God bless you
Vinny, thank you. Seriously marvelous words, brother. It is as good as it gets having you in our corner. So pleased you dig our little newsletter.
You can wear pants if you want to.
You can leave your pants behind.
But if you dance without any pants,
Then you’re no friend of mine.
(Or best friend of mine depending on who you are.)
The “Medley” thing was the most dreadful Beatles thing ever. I love The Beatles. They are allowed to string a few dreadful songs together.
