New
document,

, with an entry for 01-09-05.
This initializes the MUSIC DIARY for this month's activities. It
discusses where I'm at, working to solve my recording
difficulties.

Major Revision
of Updates Lists method at the website - condensed all existing
Updates Lists to form single documents for each year, then
condensed further to put all data from before 2005 into a
single document and rearranged that data so it's now in normal
chronological order (from oldest to newest) on the page.
Standard monthly update task, creating Updates List for
recordkeeping, but I extended the task to include the work
required for the major revision of Updates Lists method. This
will be more efficient, since doing updates to the website is
currently difficult. (I've been borrowing computer and internet
access time on someone else's machine.)
|

|
Replaced
the picture on the Main Page with an almost-identical one.
The new picture has text links that look hand-written, instead
of typed. I think it looks more artistic.
|
|
|
3 )
|
New
document,
"PHILOSOPHICAL STUFF"
, available via the Main Page. Populated the new document with
two items taken from the PEOPLE STUFF page ("WHY SCRUFFY
EAGLE?", and "REGARDING PATRONAGE OF THE ARTS".
...Feeling ambitious, I guess,...

|
Revised and updated
the
"ADVERTISING FOR PRACTICE PARTNERS"
document.
My attention was drawn to this due to a phone call I received
relating to a possible practice partner which a friend of mine
has some contact with.
|
|
|
2 )
|
Added
a little blurb saying, "~~~ HI, WAYNE! ~~~"
to the Main Page, just under the picture.
The potential pracice partner I was told about (who I haven't
heard from yet) is named "Wayne" - so, if he shows
up at the website, he'll know I've been clued in that he exists.
The way I see it, if this kind of friendly greeting turns him
away, then he really wasn't the kind of person I'd want to
practice with, anyway.

|
Revised
website directory structure, moving the "/people"
directory down to stem off root level. Adjusted all links in
various documents, as necessary, to accomodate this change.
I think this will improve the logic of the website's
structure, making it closer to mirroring what I've set up as
basic index pages for topics.
|
|
|
2 )
|
Revised
links in the Updates Archive
"Updates Archive"
document, trying to bring them all back into accordance with
the actual current structure & contents of the website.
A convenience, for visitors snooping around.
|
|
|
3 )
|
Revised
the visible text of the ad blurb seeking practice partners (which
I'd had saying, "~~~ HI, WAYNE! ~~~") on the Main Page,
to say instead, "~~~ Wanna practice? ~~~".
I was told today, that Wayne isn't internet-literate. Therefore,
having the blurb doubling as a greeting to him is a wasted gesture.

|
Revised and updated
the
"SCRUFFY'S ALVAREZ 12-STRING GUITAR"
page.
I finally got a proper case for this, so I added the details re. that
aspect of the 12-string's story into the document.
|
|
|
2 )
|
Added
entry for 03-14-05 into the
"2005 MUSIC DIARY"
document.
This discusses recent events: A proper case for the Alvarez guitar,
contact with a new potential music practice partner, and updated
info (via phone call from) re. an old friend who's a drummer.

Revised and updated
the
"THE CHOCOLATE GUITAR"
page.
Updating, to match the fact that the Dean "Z" guitar is gone -
being sold on consignment, in Rhinelander, WI.

Removed
access to the equipment index page, taking the links off the
Main Page.
This is a concession to my mother, who is also my landlord where
I'm living now. She voiced concerns re. placing such details (re.
the equipment I have in the home) onto the internet, available
for anyone to see - so, I've removed the links for those items,
and changed the name of the subdirectory; no longer easily
accessible via the Main Page, or via the previous pathnames. I
expect a side-effect of this, is that I'll focus more on
creating pages of tab & lyrics for the website,...(?) We'll
see.
NOTE: The equipment pages will continue to be
maintained at the website, but reserved for use in cases where
an inquiring party has a justifiable need to know. An example of
this, might be if a band was considering me as a potential
member, and wanted to know what equipment I'd have available.
Referring them to a prepared set of web pages would be an easy
way to answer their questions without needing to sit there
talking about it for an hour instead of practicing the music.
|
|
|
2 )
|
Revised and updated
the info pages for
"AN EAGLE'S SEAGULL"
and
"SCRUFFY'S ALVAREZ 12-STRING GUITAR"
.
Added some new pix onto the pages.

|
Added
entry for 05-04-05 into the
"2005 MUSIC DIARY"
document.
This discusses recent events: A newly-acquired Gibson SG &
difficulties repairing it, and a visit to Fisherman Rich in
Berlin, WI.

|
Added
entry for 05-07-05 into the
"2005 MUSIC DIARY"
document.
This discusses recent events: Making another attempt at getting
the Gibson SG repaired, and outings to the LVD Casino in
Watersmeet, MI.
|
|
|
2 )
|
Added
a list of pages w/ links & descriptions back onto the
"MAIN PAGE"
.
I've been thinking that the other method, only having links
present via being embedded in the picture might frustrate
some of the website visitors who don't have much internet
experience.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
05-14-05
|
|
1 )
|
Added
HTML copy of lyrics & chords for the song,
"ONLY I CAN"
.
This is my gift to the nay-sayers who criticize me for my music always
being "too depressing".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
05-19-05
|
|
1 )
|
Posted
a revised copy of lyrics & chords for the song,
"ONLY I CAN"
.
I changed the chord sequence of the Intro section. NOTE: I'll probably change
the 4-measure instrumental at the start of the exit section also - but, just
haven't decided yet, re. what it needs to be.
|
|
|
2 )
|
Added
entry for 05-19-05 into the
"2005 MUSIC DIARY"
document.
Discussion of recent events: Outing to the LVD Casino in Watersmeet, MI, and
learning a better way to hold the viola bow. Update re. the unfinished Gibson
SG repairs.
|
|
|
3 )
|
Updated
the
"GUITAR LESSONS"
Lesson 2.
I'm not sure what I intended to add as a second page for this lesson, but having
forgotten what I intended, it doesn't make sense to leave it stating that it's
page one of two.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
05-25-05
|
|
1 )
|
Posted
a copy of lyrics & chords for the song,
"NO SANTA"
.
This is an item from the "Ex-Father's Lament" collection.
I think most people can figure out what it means, without need for
prolonged expanations,...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
05-29-05
|
|
1 )
|
Revised
filenames and updated copyright dates within pages of posted
lyrics, chords, & links for hearing songs.
Being more organized.
|
|
|
2 )
|
Updated
links on index pages, and re-sorted songs lists to make the
presentation be alphabetic.
This was all really just busy-work, fine-tuning my arrangements
and presentations of materials. The downside, is that an
obsessive-compulsive would have to go through the entire update
lists and re-fashion all the links to songs. I think I'll skip
that, for the moment,...(!!!) ;-)~
|
|
|
3 )
|
Re-installed
links on the Main Page, for the "Philosophic Stuff"
category.
This brings that aspect of the website back up to speed
(more or less).
|
|
|
4 )
|
Revised
the contents of the
"REGARDING PATRONAGE OF THE ARTS"
page.
This revision was overdue; necessary for the sake of reflecting the failure
of the Open Stage event it used as situational reference illustration. Also,
necessary to improve the conveyance of its topic matter.
|
|
|
5 )
|
Added
entry for 05-29-05 into the
"2005 MUSIC DIARY"
document.
Discussion of the traumatic continuing SG guitar saga,
and the endeavor to learn viola.
|
|
|
6 )
|
Repaired & Updated
the
"PIX OF SCRUFFY'S FRIENDS"
page.
This was overdue. I hadn't realized it, but the links within the pix of friends
document were now invalid and wouldn't bring up the photos for display (I'd
relocated the subdirectory for the friends pix). I fixed that. I also added an
overdue update regarding my friend Rich Simmel; an extra paragraph about him.
I intend to add a recently-taken picture, also - but, need to retrieve that off
another computer, process it, etc., before I can include it here.

New
"Scruffy Philosophy" document,
"THE PLACE OF GOOD FORTUNE"
.
This document has been hanging around in my files for over a year. It never got posted,
because I never really considered it "finished". I gave it one or two tweaks
today, and decided that it's probably about as developed as it's ever going to get - so,
I'll hang it out where others can see and perhaps benefit from it. Maybe I'll modify it
later? Maybe not,...
|

Reformatted
"Scruffy Spirit" document,
"WHY SCRUFFY EAGLE?"

New
"Scruffy Philosophy" document,
"SCRUFFY COVER SONGS"
.
A listing of songs I do which were composed and/or written by other people; not really
comprehensive, but enough to give the visitor a fair idea of what I do and in what manner
I do it. Created & posted, because I realized it's absence was a huge gap in the
the website's content.

the links on the index pages, for accessing the

(Ooops!) Much, much, much, much, much better.

Replaced
the email address associated with this website. It is now:

This became necessary for the sake of dodging virus-infested
spam email that's been arriving in my mail box. (Some mentally
ill idiot(s) has/have been sending such,...)

Posted
a revised copy of lyrics & chords for the song,

I posted this, then several hours later modified it to include a section of just the lyrics
for the sake of people who might have difficulty sorting them out from the chords & lyrics
section of the page. (Much easier to read.)

(The lyrics have value, right?)
|
|
|

Re-sorted
all the 2005 Updates List entries, so now they are arranged from oldest to most recent.
This is the same busy work I had to do last year around this time, prepping for archiving the Updates
List with all that went before it. The only difference, is that this year I decided to re-arrange the
list early instead of doing it only when calendar change forced me to.
