As a general ̶r̶u̶l̶e̶ guideline, I'm not much into country music. But I do really dig steel/lap guitar, so it can be a bit of a conundrum.

Just heard a song that could be considered a gateway piece for me. 🙂 I can dig it.

Here is Katrina Cain with "New Mercedes"

It's a dreary, cold day today.

Quite a change from the 91-degrees-in-February-bang a couple of days ago, but at least back to what is 'normal'. And this gray day was coloring me in all blue.

But then this materialized from my speakers. And just like that I was warm again, recalling the luxurious beauty and visual poetry of this wonderful film.

May it do the same for you.

Buenos dias to all, I wish for you a muy groovy day.

Once upon a time, a mystery band named Klaatu (which some people believed was really the Beatles) wrote this wonderful song in 1976. It was covered (and made a bit more famous) by The Carpenters. That version was decent, even if it now feels a bit dated.

I encourage you to listen to both of those, but this version is my favorite, with its slightly swing-funk take in the middle. Here is Unitopia with "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft"

Scientific American has declined (IMHO) over the last decade, but this is worth a read:

And as a follow-up to "Dave's Groove", here is "The Dream".

BOP RATM.

(urrgh! sorry for my own typo. Tigran Hamasyan)

Had to share this again, just too good. It came up in my rotation this afternoon and I always get chills listening to it.

If you are a musician, you'll probably dig this. If you know a musician, turn them on to this guy. They'll probably thank you.

Because he's genius. And those frickin' drummers get me every time at around the 6:35 mark.

Here is Tigran Hamasysan and the Berklee Middle Eastern Fusion Ensemble playing "Drip".

Dig it.

Ever wondered what a solar eclipse would look like on another planet? I have.

This AWESOME page has not only photos but a VIDEO of an eclipse on Mars. So cool.

Thanks, @JerichoTaskerDeaux

Your music choices today are helping my heart. Slowing it down. And now taking some deep breaths.

So that my opinion (rant) is not misunderstood, my closing tag of #vote was not meant as a proposed solution, but rather a minimum.

I've waited in vain for sanity to prevail. Writing representatives is not going to do it. And I'm beyond the hope that some motion or bill with reasonable gun control will finally pass. Do you know why? That's easy. Because it won't.

Yes, the ball's in my court. But it's in yours, too. And sitting at the net is an active shooter, looking at both of us.

Hungrily.

The time is up for shock. For the clucking of tongues, or the wringing of hands, and the question of why our 'leaders' won't take action to stop this.

Clearly it's up to us to figure out how to stop this. No one else will.
