What Would Pete Think?
Ok. I have to admit Lisa Fox's story about her Uncle Russell inspired me to write this post. Her post got me to thinking about those things in our lives that, if we did not grow up in the Episcopal Church, might have been the "prequel" to our finding TEC as our church home.
Now, for at least two and a half decades, I would have told you that this man, Wellington Buel (aka "Pete") Stewart, was one of the people who encouraged me to go to medical school and, ultimately, lead me to a career in pathology, even though he died before I ever graduated from medical school. But it was only in recent years that I have come to realize he also posthumously led me to the Episcopal Church, in some ways. The photo above is of him when he was chair of Pathology at the University of Kentucky Medical School, in 1960--the year of my birth.
I knew Pete from my Amateur Radio ("ham" radio) activities in the 1970's-1980's. But the part that was lost to me back then, and has grown over the years, is that I realize he was a loyal Episcopalian, and a member of Calvary Episcopal Church in Columbia, MO. Pete was one of those guys who didn't really "talk church" much, but I now realize he was one of those guys who led "a secret life of faith." He simply mentioned "heading off for church" or "getting back from church" in a matter of fact way, or things would come up in the conversation that exuded what I would call "A comfortable faith." It was "just part of him."
Church was simply "part of the 'fit' in his life." He didn't ever get too worked up about church politics or the details of sermons. He was the kind of person who was more likely to go to the early service than the late one. He was old school, and deep down inside, he was a "Rite I" sort of guy, and was not crazy about a lot of singing, preferring the spoken service. But his love for the Book of Common Prayer showed through every now and then.
At the time, I was living my life as a "disaffected LCMS Lutheran." Once in a while, we'd discuss deeper subjects over a beer. I distinctly remember his classic line when we were talking about prayer--what it was, what it does, and speculating "how it works." He used to say, "I don't pray anything that isn't in the Book of Common Prayer." At the time, I thought he was being a stodgy, unimaginative old fart. Now that the BCP and I are old friends, I realize his words had more to do with the fact there is probably something in the BCP to use as a "jump starter" for any possible prayer, and that the BCP has had so much thought in it, it truly has an almost universal quality to its ability to "fit the situation."
Only once in my exile did he ever bring up anything even halfway close to the "E" word--evangelism. We were doing the "discussing deeper subjects over a beer" thing at the old Heidelberg restaurant/bar in Columbia, MO (the one that burned, for you natives) and we were discussing my self-imposed exile from the LCMS. He very matter-of-factly, without missing the timing of his beer-swigging, "Have you ever thought about coming with Polly and me to Calvary sometime? Everything you're mad at about church, it's not an issue with us. We ordain women. Our theology is based on the Incarnation, not about guilt or shame for your sins, or "boy, oh boy, aren't you lucky Jesus died for you." It's not about that stuff. It's a theology for thinking people, and really, the way your mind works, you'd actually make a very good Episcopalian."
Then he sort of winked and added, "Of course, in the beginning, we might have to let you in the side door," then quickly said, "Not really--I'm kidding. Seriously, you could even go up for the Eucharist the first time you visited."
But nope...nope...I was still more interested in being mad, I guess.
I did, however, go to the rail at his funeral Eucharist. I had remembered his words. I wonder sometime if that wafer planted a seed, albeit a very slowly germinating one.
Seventeen years later, I began to regularly attend Trinity.
I think about him now and then when we do Prayers of the People and remember the dead, especially when the week of his birthday and the week of the date of his death rolls around. I wonder sometimes if he's sitting among the company of Heaven on those Sundays and hears me think it, and tells the gathered company, "I KNEW IT! See, I knew this was a fit! It just took a long time, that's all, but I WAS RIGHT!" I do muse now and then in church, "I wonder if Pete can believe it? Yeah, he probably can and does." I worry now and then he is scrapping with my late friend Debby for dibs on the credit. I imagine Debby credits her role in all of it, too.
When I think these things, I do have one unfulfilled longing. I do long for one time, that I can feel him sitting in the pew beside me. I think I would like, just once, to feel he and I have transcended a boundary and have "attended the service together." There's a lot there to thank him for, and I think I have felt that I have thanked him for everything in this life he did for me sufficiently except this one little leftover part. Maybe some Sunday, I will feel it. I hope so.

Guitar Pull Offs
Image Source: http://img.youtube.com
Often Pull Offs are grouped together with Hammer Ons. However they are not exact opposites of each other.
What they do have in common is that they allow us to play two notes faster, form triplets easier, and add expression and fluency to our playing.
The tablature for a pull off is usually written to include a "P". The diagram below indicates that we are going to play the 7th fret note, and then do a pull off which will then play the 5th fret note:
|-------------| 1st String
|---7-p-5-----| 2nd String
|-------------| 3rd String
|-------------| 4th String
|-------------| 5th String
|-------------| 6th String
Here is step by step how to actually play the two notes:
- Place 3rd finger on the 7th fret of the 2nd sting.
- Place 1st finger on the 5th fret of the 2nd sting.
- Pick the 2nd string to play the 7th fret note.
- Pull your 3rd finger down (not bending the string) so it essentially plucks the 2nd string again.
- This will play the 5th fret note, because our firstg finger is still pressing on that fret.
The best thing to do is to watch some video tutorials on how to do Pull offs.
Here are some great videos from http://www.5min.com
Here is Part 2 of the previous Pull Offs video. This lesson moves from open string pull offs, into fret to fret pull offs. It also includes Alex Lifeson from the awesome Canadian band "Rush" showing a practical example of using pull offs in a guitar tune.
Here is Part 3 of Pull Offs that continues with fret to fret pull offs, and includes putting several pull offs together into a basic run.
Here is the fourth and final part of the Pull Offs lesson. This clip continues with doing the consecutive pull offs run of notes to form a descending scale.
Here is a great 10 minute lesson from one of my favorite online guitar teachers. The lesson goes all the way through from learning a pentatonic blues scale, through to playing hammer ons and pull offs.
Here is a good video clip that explains hammer ons and pull offs, and provides some exercises to do to practice these with all of your fingers:
Here is a really great video clip on how to use hammer ons combined with Pull offs for playing metal riffs: (At last we get to do something constructive !)
There are hundreds of other guitar lesson videos available for free at http://www.5min.com
Simply click on the left hand side menu on "Music" and then on the next page click on "Guitar" and start working your way through.
Or on the home page use the search boxes to do for example "guitar vibrato" in the first box, abnd click to select "in guitar" in the second right hand corner box, and then click the yellow "FIND" button. This will then bring up plenty of free video lessons that we can do.
So get busy on your own axe, and with strong plucky fingers see what you can pull off in the way of great rocking riffs.
Enjoy,

Screamers "Demos 1977-78"
From the looks of things, music will never mean anything again. People like Tomato Du Plenty just do not exist anymore, so we here at PNP offer this tribute to him and his evil cohorts.
No guitars, loud brash keyboards, punchy drumming and vocals being barked and commanded by the spastic Du Plenty, were a couple of the first things that drew me into the Screamers. In all reality, their purity and symbolism as well as the music in their short time is what I'm left with, impacted by their haunting silhouette logo.
Manhattan born Tomato ran away at the age of 16 with starstruck eyes pinpointed on Hollywood. Selling maps to stars homes, he lusted after highways, wrote porno and was an American artist. Before Screamers he sang with Suicide blondes. In Spring 1977, Screamers would form and play with other acts of the time like Backstage Pass, the Zippers, Shock, and Avengers among many more. With tracks like "Violent World" "122 Hours Of Fear" "Punished Or Be Damned" and "I Wanna Hurt", the message was sent loud and clear. In true punk self destruction the band never recorded a proper album or a single, but did record this batch of demos as well as numerous pirated recordings flying around, video and cd alike.
Now:::
Tomato is buried at Hollywood Forever off Santa Monica Blvd. here in L.A. His shrine displays some of his art, he's in good company housed nearby another young artist by the name of Rozz Williams. In closing, here are 2 reviews from back in the day:
"The Screamers are not entertainment, they are an assault. They're music sound like danger." --Twisted
"The future, the one and only group in this galaxy to have gone away with guitars and other lame gimmicks." --Slash
