Happy Easter, Passover, and Spring

Here in NE Alabama the spring rebirth is well underway. I barely got my pruning done in time. We planted one batch of tomatoes last week, and I'm getting in a few more today before a much needed rain this evening. So, spring has sprung and we're off to the race to maintain the homestead. It's busy season, but we're in good shape for a change. However we are very dry, especially for this time of the year. We'll get to the news below the fold.

Afternoon folks!

It's time for another scoop of the blues. This week we start out with a great album from guitarist and harmonica player Slim Harpo followed by a reunion album of Chicago blues piano player Memphis Slim and guitarist Matt "Guitar" Murphy. After that it's the rockin' 50's blues of Jackie Brenston and then on to an album from Chicago blues guitarist Eddie Taylor, followed by an album of 40's piano blues from Cecil Gant. We finish up in the diversity department with an album from British folk rock group Oysterband.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Good morning, good people!

This short video just may shock and dismay you! Or not.

Due to hospital trips, doctor's appointments, we haven't gone anywhere or done anything in almost a year. Blame this on cancer. But there has been a couple of weeks pause on all things medical crap, and we scored really good tickets to see Jorma Kaukonen and John Hurlbut at Main Street Crossing in Tomball, Texas, a nice venue only an hour and 15 minutes away! Jorma was lead guitarist for Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna. His current thing is acoustic blues, rock and folk. I am hoping to shop for merch!

Happy Friday everyone. Welcome to Friday Night Photos your once a week escape from the day to day insanity of the world we live in. Post any photos, memes, music or whatever else you find of interest that helps tune out the madness.

On April 1st we had a Super Moon. No fooling. So I went to Harbor Island on San Diego bay to catch the moon rising over the San Diego skyline. Most of the day was cloudy so I was worried they would obscure the view of the rising moon, but the photography gods were kind and most of the clouds moved on by moon rise. The first two shots were taken while waiting for the guest of honor to show up.

Morning,

Interesting times. Would not mind a few months of boredom.

Trump Fires Bondi

(Headline USA) President Donald Trump said Thursday that Pam Bondi is out as his attorney general.The announcement follows months of scrutiny over the Justice Department’s handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation that made Bondi the target of angry conservatives even with her close relationship with Trump. She also struggled to satisfy Trump’s demands to prosecute his political rivals, with multiple investigations rejected by judges or grand juries.

Interesting Things!
Here’s a few interesting things, starting with beavers…

Beavers have been reintroduced to Scotland. Beavers had been extinct in Britain for about 400 years. The species was hunted to extinction there. In 2009 11 beavers were introduced to a ‘dead’ river in Scotland. And they flourished and so did the river, the plants and animals which live in and along it, and more. Yes! Beavers have been, and are, being reintroduced to other places in Britain as well, which is a good thing, I think.
