For Monday, May 2: Bristlecone

On my Pandora I come across different, new-to-me artists as they play on my stations because they are like whoever I originally typed in.  Trace Bundy is one of those that I heard playing overhead and I had to stop what I was doing and jot his name down to investigate further.
Trace Bundy is an amazing guitar player.  Amazing.  It's sad that in this day and age of technology we don't give more recognition to those who can do something so incredible WITHOUT technology.  Trace is someone who doesn't need to rely on any technology to wow his audiences.  I'm so grateful he shares his gift with the world because we'd be lesser people without it! Yes, he's THAT good.  THAT amazing!  Check him out.
I can almost imagine that without his guitar slung over his shoulder he feels a bit lost at times.  He's so good that his guitar seems to be a literal body part that flows from him. 
Enjoy!

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment. 

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.
