Afternoon folks!

There's a buncha blues for you this week. Starting out is an album from a fellow who should be better known having performed and made records with Otis Redding and Duane Allman (among others) - that would be Johnny Jenkins. After that is another not well-known blues guy, Zuzu Bollin from Texas. Following that is a later career album from Kansas City's Big Joe Turner. After that we've got some more or less acoustic blues from Ron Thompson and some uptown, sophisticated blues from Leon Redbone. Finishing up in the diversity department is some fine fiddlin' from Vassar Clements and friends.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Good morning, good people! I hope you are enjoying your weekend!

I want to share a link I spent 3 or 4 hours yesterday absorbing. It is about war. It is about the demise of the US Empire. It is about Trump's mental and physical decline, a Biden cover-up 2.0.

I read the info posted by b, not the comment thread, will get around to it today. https://www.moonofalabama.org/

The link b said was good is this one: Why Iran? The Context & The Consequences

My opinion of the best of the lot of videos in the Boyd article is this one:

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.

When Ford first introduced the Mustang in 1964 it was love at first sight for me. After 61 years I'm still in love with this car. Over the years I've owned three, a 1967 coup, a 1998 GT convertible, and a 2008 GT. I still have the 98 GT convertible. 
Tell us about your favorite car.

Don't you just love having your life hang in the balance of psychopaths?

What will Trump do? The world is on edge. Trump doesn't care, he loves this reality show. He loves being the center of the universe.

Did he know Netanyahu was going to attack Iran? He said he didn't. If he didn't know why is he now taking the lead in the decision making? Is this Israel's war, or is it the US' war?

The battle plan is obvious. Preoccupy Russia with a war in Ukraine, take out Iran's proxies one by one, and then when they're isolated, attack.

Who's next?

Happy Juneteenth!

Slavery ended in this country, officially, on June 19th, 1865, the day when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War. So now we celebrate the day as Juneteenth, which became a federal holiday in 2021. Yay! And now...

I gotta admit, I loved seeing the No Kings! protest marches in the cities and towns in the US on Saturday. There was even one in my little town! Seattle's march was huge, I was so proud. Yes, these were all just marches, but at least it says something about what a lot of the people of the USA think about Trump's possible dictatorship.
