Why the name Ranch Chimp? it was in humour because, science says that humans have similar DNA to a chimpanzee,so I felt some way related biologically to a chimpanzee. 2nd, everytime I was out of Texas on a vacation or for whatever reason I’m always asked things like, do I live on a ranch?,or have cattle? so I commonly call Dallas the Ranch. "Politically Depressed" was also humour inspired by the 1993- 2002 Bill Maher TV/ tele show "Politically Incorrect".

ROBIN TROWER: .... "Too Rolling Stoned" .... and .... "Day of the Eagle" ....
My choice for this music post .... has to be Mr.Robin Trower .... for his excellent composition and Blues Guitar work. This man in my opinion is one of the greatest as far as blues legend's. When he first appeared in the scene .... it hadnt been long since Mr. Jimi Hendrix passed away .... and quickly this man was labeled by many as the reincarnation of Hendrix .... so because of this ( and also being associated to "Procol Harum" ).... it took time for him to make his personal mark and sound distinct .... which he has certainly done!
One Hell of a sound remarkably as far as "live" performance on a 1 thru 10, I rate as a 9+ .... and obviously still just as tight and smooth as when I seen him "live" in 1975. I seen him early 1975 in San Antonio(TX) .... then later that year, seen him in Chicago(IL) .... on the same tour .... which was the "Bridge of Sighs" tour.
Choosing a couple favourite's of mine here .... first piece is "live" and called "Too Rolling Stoned" .... the 2nd is called "Day of the Eagle" .... both from the "Bridge of Sighs" album/cd, and both shot on Dec. 10, 2008.
"TOO ROLLING STONED" ... Thanx to BOOTSTRAPJESSE
"DAY OF THE EAGLE" ("live" audio) ... Thanx to GOINTOSLEEPBIATCH
