Afternoon folks!

There's some outstanding blues this week! Starting off with an album from Robert Lockwood Jr, followed by a compilation of Chicago blues from Lacy Gibson, Big Leon Brooks and Andrew Brown. After that, we're officially old school with a compilation of jug band music - great stuff, don't miss it! Then we've got some serious r&b with Hank Ballard & The Midnighters, followed by Tracy Nelson. Finishing up we've got some country-flavored music with The Desert Rose Band and Rodney Crowell.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

$Trump

It included a disclaimer noting the coin is "not intended to be, or the subject of" an investment opportunity or a security and was "not political and has nothing to do with" any political campaign, political office or government agency.

Critics accused Trump of cashing in on the presidency.

"Trump owning 80 percent and timing launch hours before inauguration is predatory and many will likely get hurt by it," Nick Tomaino, a crypto venture capitalist, said in a social media post.

Such digital tokens are notorious for speculators using hype to pump up the value before selling at the top of the market, leaving latecomers to count their losses as the price crashes.

Cryptocurrency investors are hoping the Trump administration will boost the industry.

President Joe Biden's regulators cited concerns about fraud and money laundering as they cracked down on crypto companies by suing exchanges.

Trump was previously skittish about cryptocurrency, but at a Bitcoin conference in Nashville last year he said America would be "the crypto capital of the planet" once he returned to Washington.

His sons Erik and Donald Jr announced their own crypto venture last year.

@gjohnsit Screw tRump. BTW, his inauguration is actually being promoted as a second coronation. I really "love" being dragged backwards by both so-called "political" parties. Anywho, appreciate the tunes as always, joe. Smile A bit O/T: Will JtC keep us informed as he updates c99? Appreciate any info you can give.

i'm sure that jtc will keep us up to date. he's just started on what appears to me to be a major project that is going to take a bit of time to get the bugs worked out of, so i wouldn't expect frequent updates until he gets closer to having a working model. my guess is that for now, keep an eye on his friday open thread posts.
