This song has really caught my ear lately. The electronic beat is catchy and the lyrics are such happy queer love, it's just awesome. It really resonates in a way with the struggle I am having with my wife accepting the change to our relationship since coming out. Just want her to do it like her mother told her not to do. ;) 

 

 

I really like that. I could probably dance a rumba to that with my wife.

This is one of my favourite songs and with the pandemic still on going, it holds a new place in my heart. Most of my family and friends live several hours away and I have not been able to see them in quite some time. Including my parents and sister. I haven't seen them since I came out, with the exception of my dad, who I got to spend 30 minutes with, socially distancing about a month and a bit ago.

 

My wife finds the song very sad; but I find inspiration in it. A love so strong you will cross rivers and roads to get back to them.

I thought that looked familiar - The Head and The Heart - I found them right when I found Mumford & Sons and The Limineers - love all 3 bands

I agree, 3 great bands. Love the mountain folk rock sound in general. Good guitar, twangy banjos, good mix of up and down tempos and good storytelling.

Can't agree more - I also love the Duhks and Nickel Creek

I've only heard a few Nickel Creek tunes but one of their members Chris Thile hosted "Live from Here" (the successor to Praire Home Companion) until it was recently canceled due to funding.  He is so talented.  It was a great music show.

Chris received a genius award and with his work you can see why. I got to see nickel creek 3 times they were excellent in a class all their own. Thile was a child protege on mandolin. Check out "This Side" by Nickel Creek a wonderful hybrid.

Thanks for those tracks @Shay, hadn't heard either before. They were lovely.

 

Here's another one of my faves in the genre. It's a married couple making some beautiful music. They've got some folks supporting on this live version. They do an amazing cover of Sufjan Stevens' Amsterdam, but it's a Spotify exclusive. https://open.spotify.com/track/2Cyi6ezjKmGuXFrJglqQYl?si=y2gtBalxTK6yXcSxQQ-myQ

OMG - I really love Mandolin Orange - I subscribe to American Songwriter and they have turned me on to so many artists I'd never be able to locate - Mandolin Orange is one and I love their stuff.

On the way back from grocery shopping today - I heard a song by a group from Tulsa and I met the keyboard player when I was working at Leon Russell's old studio called The Church. I have to share a story he told. He was like 16 or 18 and came to the studio and Bob Marley and the Wailers were recording. Bob invoted him to join them in the studio. Marley offered him a cigar sized gange and he figured it should be ok after all Marley and band smoked ALL DAY LONG. Well, he took a toke walked back to the Hammond B3 organ and couldn't figure out how to play (although he is an amzing B3 player).

 

So they played one of his band THE GAP BAND songs and I had to have it here.

Rainy Day - someone Cyndee reminded me of the infancy of progressive underground free form radio and I used to listen every night - hear is my favorite weird song title and song I listened to.

      God is not the author of evil.  The world is fallen - one of the few things everyone agrees on is that not everything is right with this world.  There is agency that can act contrary to His will.  And there is the promise that He will work all things for good for those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.  Rom 8:28.    Beyond that, I don't know.  Sometimes I say He made me transgender and sometimes I say it is the result of the fall. In either case the truth is governed by my previous paragraph.

      That is what I am hoping!

      Its only temporary...just til I get the current project done.  Actually, even back when I was working, I always worked from home.  Usually curled up in a corner with my headphones on.  In those days, it was just me and my GF and my sister.  I'd wake up when GF went to work, and my sister didn't have a job so we just stayed home.  She was still trying to be a writer.  But now it seems like everybody is up early, either for work or with all the kids.  Not much chance to stay in my nest through the morning now.     Congrats on your anniversary, BTW.   The Acadia might be decent for you.  I actually saw one of those after an accident.  Totally smashed, but the people inside hardly had a scratch.  I guess they're pretty safe.  IDK about a 4 cylinder engine for an SUV, though.  Around here, even that 4.0 6-cylinder would be considered "small."  I have the only 4 and 6 cylinder passenger cars in my family, actually.  My ancient Chevy Lumina has a 6 cylinder, and my Mazda Miata has a 4 cylinder.  They are appropriately "fox-sized."  All the rest are some flavor of V8, either the Ford modular engine or some variation of Hemi.      Would getting a new ID change how the day center handles you?  I would think it would be tough for them to justify treating you different from what your ID says...

      This morning I went to see my vascular surgeon at the Hospital network and the staff and doctor all referred to me as ma'am. It seems the new settings on MyChart are already current and staff are following my preferred pronouns and name (my appointment papers all have my obviously male name on them).   It's quite refreshing until returning to the day-centre where they again go out-of-their-way to call me "Sir". 🙄

      I guess this is the only plausible reason?  I can't imagine any other, really.  I think it is the intent of the Russian government to remove all LGBTQ+ people from their society.  I guess that will mean most of their female population, since I've noticed that Russian girls tend to be sexually "flexible" (at least)

      I absolutely disagree with the idea that God makes people to be transgender.  Genesis 1:27 says that God made people - male and female He created them.  Plural.  As in...people generally.  Also notice that God creates animals according to their kinds, and that Creation was orderly.  I don't find the "both/or/and" interpretation to be consistent with God's personality as described in Scripture.  God doesn't seem to operate with ambiguity.  It feels like using "lawyer language" to find something that isn't there.    I do not believe that God made me as I am...intersex/trans, unable to reproduce naturally, and with wacky plumbing inside me that by some miracle manages to still work.  I believe that while God gives the soul, our biological life has been an ongoing natural process after Creation, something which He chooses not to control.  Yes, God is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, and all that.  But He voluntarily limits Himself in our world in this time.  He doesn't make everything or fix everything... cancer and war and such are proof of that.  If you believe in God creating people intentionally to be transgender, then you might also believe God intentionally creating some kids as disabled, or some to be stillborn.    I believe the path forward for Christians is to recognize and accept the effects of Original Sin upon all creation. There's a difference between God avoiding involvement/manipulation and actively creating a situation.  God doesn't make mistakes...but at this point, there are a lot of things that God simply doesn't make at all.  I don't believe He is as detached from Creation as the Deist "watchmaker analogy," but I don't believe He is controlling every little detail either.  There's a balance, sort of.  Disagree if you want - people have debated the issue of control, free will, and creation for centuries....it will continue to be discussed until the end of time.   I'm not sure if I was supposed to be a boy or a girl.  I guess when I get to the afterlife, I'll find out.  Because all the crap that happens here due to original sin and a broken system will be fixed.  The world will be set right, and I believe we'll all be either male or female as God originally wanted.  Some of us might be surprised at what that looks like.  As for me, I'll be happy with either.  I just want to fit in my body.

      I've been fortunate in growing my hair out. I had a few thinner spots - typical spots - but have been using Hims' hair growth treatment for about 6 months now and it had made a tremendous difference. I'm not sure how long I'll let it grow but I've been thrilled with how it's turning out.   Today I'm wearing this olive green high waisted 3/4 balloon sleeve midi dress with white sneakers.     I also received these today. Found them on eBay. I've been looking for a pair of brown riding boots but finding them in my size is hard and typically expensive. These were on end of season sale plus they gave me another 10% off so I ended up at about 40% of retail. They fit perfectly (12M). Unfortunately (or fortunately) boot season is over so I'll put them away until Fall.
