That's how I felt after hearing Oswald Mill Audio Imperia speakers at his loft space in DUMBO years ago with JP#s. Big speakers with intimate live sound.

On No Kings day, Claire and I made an exception for Kingfish, aka Christone Ingraham. He's an amazing blues guitarist and a great singer to boot. I was very happy to hear some great blues and if the video works for you, it was a blast when he walked out into the audience while playing and ended up two feet from me. IMG_7503.mov

I'm not sure anyone cares, but here are even more pictures of the jig demonstrating the various uses. Tenon, mortise, bridle joint, etc. Splining miter joints L-fence for ripping straight edges or long miters And a gratuitous shot of Steve on Grindr

That's sad news. He was fantastic when we saw him with Hiromi too. ☹️

Cheers!

That's sad, although I had no idea she was 87 years old. A true pioneer. We are going to make her bright pink cranberry relish for Thanksgiving as an homage. We've made it a few times and I quite like it, although we will make a more standard version as well. RIP to the legend (which we seem to be losing a lot of). https://www.npr.org/2006/11/23/4176014/mama-stambergs-cranberry-relish-recipe

Quite literally salivating from the pics and descriptions.

Hope you all have a great day, Carl, Iain and Peter! Three cheers!

I like the Guster String Players

Sausage mushroom and black garlic pizza

Hardware finally arrived so we installed pulls and stops and we're done with this project.

That's sad news. Maybe I'm ready to watch Annie Hall again. ☹️ RIP

One and done, with quesabirria tacos today. I'm With Her was enough and now we're happy to be back in Fairfax before the traffic jam.

After the morning jaunt, the plan was to start with Dan Tyminski but I took a nap instead. Claire went and enjoyed it. I arrived at the blanket one minute before Cimafunk started, which was pretty ideal. They are from Cuba but live in New Orleans now apparently. Fun stuff. Made our way to the adjacent stage in time for Tweedy to come out and bore the snot out of everyone. The sun was in his face and his deathly pallor clearly indicated that was not routine. When he finally spoke, he said that he didn't know the sun would be here and "that's not cool, man." Wilco's California Stars was the only song that got the crowd going. At the end of the show he said that it was the first show touring for his new triple album, and thanked us for listening to a lot of new stuff. Definitely the weakest of many Tweedy shows I have seen with Wilco, solo, and with this band with his two sons that he used to call Tweedy. Oh well.

I wish I knew you were there. We could have connected

Surgical strike to walk Penny and see the Watson Twins. We'll go back later for more.

About sixteen hours after returning to California, we sauntered down to HSB in person for Corey Harris, a bit of Shawn Colvin, Margo Price, a tad bit of War and Treaty, and then Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats. Going to head back in later this morning for the Watson Twins...

And three more dead in a North Carolina mass shooting yesterday. Both the NC and Michigan shooters were former US Marines who served in Iraq. https://www.npr.org/2025/09/28/nx-s1-5556033/north-carolina-shooting-southport-american-fish-company

Hope you're having a good one Wayne! Cheers!

Do other people hear those McCartney quotes in a bad impression of his voice, or is it just me?

I haven't thought about Guster for awhile but I like their Massholes too!

Have a delicious birthday Jim! Cheers!

My suggestion is to ask your question somewhere that people are likely to know what a jaba jabra is and might care more than anyone here.

Claire kept looking on the bright side but later admitted to making the wrong decision to carry on. Oh well, we survived and we're taking it easy today.
