Good morning!!  I had landscapers here yesterday and they did a great job, which lifted my spirits.  Then all the conversation here just made it better!

Mark Knopfler  and Jimmy Hendrix for rock.  I also love classical guitar, and there is none better than John Williams (Australian), but Christopher Parkening is a close second.

I'll bite :)

 

  1. Django Reinhardt - I'm pretty sure he actually invented lead guitar.
  2. Mark Ribot - Played with Tom Waits on Rain Dogs, Real Gone and I think a couple of other albums.
  3. David Rawlings - Gillian Welch's partner.
  4. Slash - The guy in the hat from Guns and Roses.
  5. Me - I added my self, nit because I'm conceited, rather I was asked this question one while busking. A stranger came up and sat down beside me and asked me who my favorite guitar player was. I gave him the old side-eye, smiled and said "I am". He just laughed... in a good way. Then he told me a random story involving walking barefoot and fear of coyotes.

Hank Marvin of the Shadows.

Loving the Music section by the way.

Lol Jani had already listed JB. But have you heard the 2 new songs he did with Ozzy? Pretty cool.

Yeah. I see that. I'll check those out. Beck should be on any list of players who can really make it sing. My mom was a professional cellist. One of her favorite quotes was from Pablo Casals: "I play the cello because I cannot sing!" There are many ways to sing—mine?

Nice, cello is cool, what do you think of apocalyptica? Bows are hard, violin was my first instrument as a child and the bow was tricky. I play guitar because I can't dance! Hehe

 

 

Oh and you can't beat a J's giant burger looking at the trestle of the old haul road! I think. Let me know if I've walked in your haiku.

Thanks, @Kastia. Yes, Apocalyptica are fine! Awesome arrangements! Mom performed strictly classical but she also loved jazz and experimental music. And she could play a wild ragtime piano but never played more than a few measures of it--out of respect for the masters. She passed away before the internet, but I'll try to find something.

      You forgot rolls and rolls of tinfoil, so you can keep making those hats...😉   The following words are not mine, but after reading them elsewhere earlier I thought that they were too good not to share:   "The Machiavellian brilliance of Trump's approach is that he never has to follow through on promises, he just needs to continue to make the poor and vulnerable believe he is there fighting for them. As the saying goes, it is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled."

      There are definitely things that could be done to make the site persist, but what if the data that exists? What of the site that could bring its owner up against the law? We all share in responsibility for the content posted, but are there plans?

      Every Trans legislator / official   I know of that was up for re-election won there seats back a few with the benefit of "incumbent" listed on the ballot.  Once in office we seem to do a pretty decent job compared to Cis/Het  I do tend to side with those I know today saying Trans were no where near a part of their voting decisions.  Who knows, maybe we have overblown that part of the situation, but for us it was close and personal and we ran into too may trees to see the forest.

      Well, I'm relieved to not have an upcoming Harris presidency.  And I'm truly surprised that attempts to manipulate the election didn't succeed.   But...that doesn't go so far as to be delighted in a Trump presidency.  And my worries certainly aren't over, they've just changed form. Now I get to worry about the militant leftists causing havoc like back in 2020.  Maybe another pLandemic, or economic collapse.  I still feel like 2025 is going to be pretty dang rough.    Whether you love the outcome of this election, loathe it, or feel indifferent... get ready.  Have some money saved.  Extra fuel, food, water, and medicine at home.  Power generation equipment, communication equipment, and defense equipment if you feel the need (I certainly do).

      That video was so hard to watch.  They truly treated like an animal ... and even animals shouldn't be treated that way. Yes, I hope there was punishment for the jail guards.

      Me too, @Carolyn Marie.  But I also condemn the school itself for lack of initial action.  It should never be the parents responsibility.  How many go unreported?

      After 1.5 years on estradiol and 6 mo on progesterone I am a full shaped A-cup (getting fairly close to B-cup I believe).  I am happy with what I have.  I don't plan on breast implants and just use fashion and the 'laws of physics' to accentuate what I do have.  But it is truly personal preference and to-each-her-own.

      You probably haven’t heard of the xylo pronouns because I found a set (xylo/xylo) & modified it a little to fit myself :) I usually think of them replacing more common pronouns. Xylo would replace ‘he’ or ‘she’, phone would replace ‘him’ or ‘her’, xylo’s to ‘his’, and xylophoneself to ‘himself’. For example, some sentences using those would sound like this: “Do you know phone? Xylo shares a class with me. Xylo talks about xylophoneself a lot, but it’s fun to listen to phone! Xylo’s willing to listen if someone asks phone to. Xylo’s also very dedicated to xylo’s work.” Thank you for asking!   I have heard of POTS! My aunt has it and my mom has mentioned it. I’m not sure if I’ve experienced many symptoms other than dizziness, though- and I’ve never fully passed out. I still need to do some research.   I know a little piano, drumset, marimba (which is like a wooden xylophone), and guitar, but I’m not very good or experienced at any of those. In band, though, I’ve played trumpet for 5 or so years now! I love to play it. My band director is also going to let me borrow the school-owned flugelhorn to learn it pretty soon! It’s like a mix between a French horn and trumpet, but all of the finger combinations to play the notes are the same as trumpet. It’s also in the key of B flat, just like how trumpet is.   In culinary class, we cook and bake a lot of things… I can’t quite remember any particular thing that I enjoyed the most, but learning to temper chocolate was fun! We also recently made spooky desserts, and my group got a pumpkin sheet cake. Since it wasn’t for our school-owned restaurant and just for fun, we got to get creative. I had a fun time decorating it. Thanks for asking!
