Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble
Couldn’t Stand the Weather
4 out of 5
Highlights:
Scuttle Buttin’
Voodoo Child
The great thing about this project is that it can be done anywhere. This isn’t like reading 100 books where they demand your attention or 400 movies where they require your gaze for 90-180 minutes at a time.
Nope. You can be riding my bike, off to an audition, on my way to a meeting, waiting for the home inspector on a rental property, sitting at the doctor’s office, watching my son in his Tae Kwon Do class…etc. And the loveliest part of all of it, is the mobility of all of it. I can jot notes, upload the reviews, all of that, wherever I am.
And, you know what else I can do?
As an actor I get residual checks from shows I’ve done 20+ year ago. Maybe someone in Europe watched that episode of Sleeper Cell or some kid was streaming Secret Life of an American Teenager. I still get checks for Bruce Almighty and, of course, Friends.
And, more often than not these checks are for less than $.90. You read that right. I am looking at one for eleven cents. Some are for $10. Some are for a few hundred but, for the most part, they are all under a buck.
And they have to be deposited. The phone is good for that, too.
Why am I writing this?
Because this Stevie Ray Vaughn album is the perfect record to right “For Deposit Only” on 35 checks, click the pics and send them to the bank.
It is also a record you could have on at breakfast, while reading the news, driving in your car, shopping, or blissing out on headphones at 11 at night when everyone else is asleep and it will reward you each time.
You can pay attention to it or just let it be there. When you tune in, you’ll be happy and then you can go back to balancing your checkbook.
