research.. "Mom, what's a twat waffle?"

YouTube independently served up some Genesis from Midnight Special. (I am now following) These must have been filmed - they look too good for video from the time. Reverse mohawk Peter in full theatrical mode.

First Song by Søren Bebe Trio (2024) https://album.link/i/1713917228 Example: Some morning Piano jazz from a new artist to me. Enjoyable album.

RIP Sergio Mendes

The great Tony in a good interview. I forget how long he has been around (@78yo)

A diverse set as always by Chris.

It is my phone. I do use a booster. It takes me from -122db up to about -71db (overall a strong signal). I have tried all the things that I could find. I was all the way to the point of jailbreaking my phone to be able to install low level software so I could control the band setting directly. Running a pretty big risk of bricking my phone. Until I finally read an article that showed that it would not work for me because I am on Verizon and they don't allow that access (period). I understand what they are trying to do, they are trying to get everything to the higher 'better/faster' band, and phase out the older slower. I used to be able to stay connected to band 13 and use my hotspot as a secondary internet access. But months ago something changed and now it is always trying to get to band 2. And band 13 does not have bandwidth anymore. So, I assume that in a year or so they will keep upgrading and things will stabilize and I will be able to get data on band 12, but for now I get very few bits. I will give them a call at some point and ask if there is anything that can be done. But prospects are low, and I could look at other carriers, but I am very remote, so I don't expect much from that exploration. Or I can stick my phone up my ass...

Sometimes living at the base of a volcano is a bummer. Seems that Verizon has deprecated band 13 (lower Hz - but had connectivity) for band 2 (higher Hz - but I get no bits). I use to be able to get some bits from band 5 and 66 - but those are pretty much gone now as well.

You know. I think I kind of forgot how big this stuff was. And how much I liked the music. I bought the soundtrack at the time. Especially liked tracks like: Same video, but queued to - Caoineadh Cú Chulainn - Davy Spillane. Now my recommendations are going to be filled with this stuff. Oh well - worth it.

Some Kumamoto and Pacific

Celebration, Volume 1 by Wayne Shorter (2024) https://album.link/i/1752553726 Example: "Celebration, Volume 1 is the first in a series of releases that saxophonist and composer Wayne Shorter curated from archival material before his passing in 2023. The album features his long-running band—Panamanian pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci, and drummer Brian Blade—in a live 2014 performance recorded at the Stockholm Concert Hall in Sweden." Nice to have the first in a series of good recordings of the late Wayne. This one features a lot of the Zero Gravity works. Good stuff.

From St Marks in SF. I was not familiar with Ana's work, seeming to come out of nowhere. Turns out a prodigy and recorded in the 90's and early 2000s. And then just recently a PSAudio recording - for $58! Ouch. I will live with the YT compression for now. Nice selection and recording, and I liked Ana's performance.

True by Jon Anderson (2024) https://album.link/i/1747342740 Example: Released on Friday. At first I was curious what it was. As a fan I was afraid it was be a 79 (yes he is 79) year old croaking through songs. It was far from that. Jon is in full voice, mature voice, but lovely. The tunes were very engaging. The Band Geeks, pretty much are Yes fans that are really good musicians. And they seem to be touring..

The soundtrack that I didn't know I needed. Albert Brooks: Defending My Life (Original Documentary Soundtrack) by Marc Shaiman (2024) https://album.link/i/1762914489 Exmaple: Most of it is a variation of this ^^ I'm fine with that. Works well while I am cooking... :}
