What did I do today? I didn't go on an ill fated cruise I had my travel plans thrown into disarray. Did some impromptu contingency road trip planning. But I did get to see some live Jazz. I Blame Brent.

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost by Anna Lapwood (2026) https://open.qobuz.com/album/xkv3l9r88xyoi Example: Finally released, Anna's The Lord of the Rings Organ Symphony. Played, sung, transcribed by Anna. A lovely work on Sony Classical, Nidaros Cathedral, Trondheim - Norway. Only warning - it is dynamic, and requires volume. Very rewarding on main rigs (which we all know you have). and have a happy hobbity day

Today was Plantation Tour Day. Started with Oak Alley And the Big House tour, Where you got see what the slave trade could support. Then onto The Whitney Plantation, for an insight into the reality of the slave trade, and how despite how the arc of history may be towards justice, the details were not a straight line. A sobering an thought provoking experience.

Up in Maine, saw a band called he Slambovian Circus Of Dreams. They are billed as a "Psychedelic Folk" band in some circles. Good music and fun. They are definitely leaning towards a hippy-like vibe. The audience was filled mostly with f4riends and groupies; I was literally one of a few (maybe less than 10) who was seeing them for the first time. The folks next to me had seen them a minimum of 5 times, a couple of them even more. A couple highlights: they did a song called Very Happy Now, and medley'd it (is that a verb?) with The Ramones' I Wanna Be Sedated. And for an encore, they talked about Judy Garland, her untimely death, and then proceeded to play another medley of songs from the Wizard Of Oz. Good music, good vibes, and even a neat T-Shirt out of it.

Oh yeah.
