Afternoon folks!

There's a buncha great stuff to listen to this week, starting off with a compilation album from Chicago blues guitarist and singer, Magic Sam. Following that it's down to New Orleans for an album from piano player Huey "Piano" Smith and the Clowns, followed by an album from blues/jazz saxophone player Hank Crawford. Then it's on to blues rock with albums from Omar & the Howlers and Procol Harum. Finishing off in the prog rock department, we have an unofficial album from Yes recorded from the audience of a 1975 Hollywood Bowl show.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

I hope this OT finds you all in fine fettle!

The City not only settled on the purchase price for my office and real estate, they will be covering all closing costs!

My secretary scored a part time job, will be splitting up her work week between the two offices, and will go full time with the construction company as I close down. The target date is September 15th.

The past is being rewritten. The present is being manipulated. The future will not belong to us.

Some day search engines will disappear.

Then there'll only be AI.

Some day books will disappear.

Then there'll only be AI.

Some day wisdom will disappear.

Then there'll only be AI.

Some day history will disappear.

Then there'll only be AI.

And humanity will forget what it has lost.

Save your books, the future will need the truth.

English, Then and Now
I happened across a really interesting video on youtube the other day and I want to share it, of course . This is a young man, from England, presenting a monologue in English ranging from the language spoken in 450AD or so, to that spoken in modern northeastern America. It is very cool! It's interesting how the farm animal names haven't changed so much over time, how much, unsurprisingly, English sounds like German, Danish, etc, throughout much of time, and so much more! The rabbit hole beckons!

The Talking Heads, a popular group formed in NYC during the late 70's, became an iconic symbol of new wave

Good morning everyone.
And a fine morning it is at 61 degrees and overcast skies. No wind. Should make the firefighting a little easier.
