This being the third "super moon" of the year, thought a bit of star gazing is in order. The Geminids meteor shower peaks tonight, though the full moon will reduce some of the spectaculars. No matter, if you are lucky enough to have a clear sky, there is much to see.

Some Albums really stood out for one reason or another, but never seemed to get the recognition they deserved. This is one.

Naturally, this is an open thread too.

Welcome to Sunday Brunch. This is an open topic thread so help yourself to the goodies and sit a spell and let us know what is new with you. My apologies for missing getting up Thursday's Coffee Hour but I was at an emergency doctor's appointment with my brother. He has sores on his only foot and leg and we have been at the doctor's offices for the last six weeks. Fortunately they think it is under control and that they will heal if he stays off the foot.

Hope you all had a good week. There was better, if not good, news from Standing Rock last Sunday. Time will tell. I'm proud of and glad for the protectors who are staying in the cold. The recount seems to have almost ground to a halt as T-rumps lawyers play to partisan courts that are ruling against Jill. Do you find it odd that the democrats gave in to election fraud in 2000 (FL), 2004 (OH), and this year in multiple states without a fight or even an objection? As T-rump assembles his cabinet, I think it can't get worse...and then it does. Wow folks, it looks like we're in for quite the struggle.

Hey, it's songday. Today I pick a song that I believe warrants it and publish an assortment of the covers of that song by various persons and or groups. Pick a few that a new to you and have a listen. It is also, of course, an open thread to talk about anything you feel like.

Today's song is: Smokestack Lightning.
