    A niche instrument for sure!

    I really want a baritone, and I really want to at least try a fretless, but if probably want them separate.

    Incoming!

    Oh heck yeah. I really want to give one of those a try.

    Have you watched the film that is called 'Sinners' yet?

    I've got it reserved at the library, but don't think I'll get to the theater to see it.

    WTF: UNACCEPTABLE: smurfco calls "bull spit" on the song by Elton John and Bernie that is called by the name of "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues"

    I'm coming back to this thread, head hung low, to admit that I was wrong. Upon researching it, it turns out this IS a Taupin lyric. Many apologies.

    WTF: UNACCEPTABLE: smurfco calls "bull spit" on the song by Elton John and Bernie that is called by the name of "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues"

    First, I don't think that's a Bernie song, working off the top of my head. Secondly, Tommy Davidson (of Living Color game) had a bit about this in his stand up in about 88.

    Listen to this - The Hollow Still Moves

    Getting a Midnight Oil give from the chorus. The electric piano sound seems a little off tempo in the intro, and the drums seem a little stiff throughout. The lyrics I'm catching are great, and the title is really ear-catching.

    Is it time to stop recycling?

    It's long past time to reduce and reuse. If you do enough of those, recycling is moot.

    RIP Rick Derringer

    I think Rick also wrote the song Real American for Hulk Hogan. Gone too soon.

    Growing my own herbs and veg

    Onions should be ok. And garlic is worth putting in in the fall--it's super satisfying to grow your own, and cool to pull a commodity straight out of the ground. I like potatoes for the same reason, even if it's not a huge money saver.

    Growing my own herbs and veg

    That's kinda the point. I make a point to have tomatoes removed from anything I order in a restaurant. They're an abomination that exists only because people are chasing the ecstacy of tasting a proper tomato, which is fairly easy to grow but impossible to package, ship, display, and sell.

    Growing my own herbs and veg

    You're probably too late to grow basil and other herbs from seed this year. For reference, I'm at about your latitude and started in February/March. You've got kind of an odd selection of plants for a first garden, which is fine--the first rule is "grow what you want to eat"--but know that...

    Well this is a new one…. Even for Musicians Fiend…

    I've never been so dissatisfied with a customer service experience that I trivialized chronic ritualized sexual assault, but there's a first time for everything.

    You buying anything in preparation of tariffs?

    If you need an excuse to pull the trigger, impending taxes on Chinese-made gear is as good as any. I'm not playing out in the immediate future, so I'm sitting tight.

    Workout jams

    My favorite song, It's Raining Men, is a great workout song.

    Achtung! my new favorite hobby is using ChatGPT to make New Yorker style cartoons, and now you're all going to have to look at them

    One of my favorite podcasters says that any New Yorker cartoon holds up with the caption, "Have our sex games become too elaborate?". I think it holds up.
