Those who might find this interesting probably already know about it, but just in case…
Greetings to my fans and followers with gratitude for all your support and loyalty across the years.
This is an unreleased song we recorded a while back that you might find interesting.
Stay safe, stay observant and may God be with you.

Love that Guantanamera song so much that I wish I spoke Spanish. Just a lush, beautiful song. I remember playing it over and over when I first discovered it on Youtube.

Hanging out, playing video games – and enjoying my evening. Hope the rest of you also are enjoying yourselves. :) I think I’m going to watch a movie and have some chicken wings!

Anne Laurie, do we have to buy the Bob Dylan song in order to hear it, or am I doing it wrong?

The Russians are coming and they have a song as well.

Phone call from someone in our old gaming group. They’re going to try RPGing via teleconference.
Old behind the times moi, having no headphones with the right jack, no microphone with the right jack and no camera at a more than distinct disadvantage. Told ’em to e-mail me the particulars and I might listen in.
Knowing this group I foresee it descending into an every person for him/herself free for all as opposed to a more organized party of questers as the evening progresses and the libations flow.

Good tunes! Love the Russian rap!
I had the Driveby Truckers on youtube earlier and it came up with new-to-me Chip Taylor and the New Ukrainians as I was reading something about Jarvanka. Thank you, Youtube AI! I am now a fan.

Judge Jeanine before she went on the air.
I actually kinda feel for her; in a reasonable world, she just lost her job. You can’t show up shitfaced to ANY job…
…though she might survive this. Blame it on mixing meds and a fuckload of alcohol.

Remember the thread when DougJ was asking about spoken words in a song? I don’t recall if this classic gem got mentioned.

My self-taught music student self just sat down to study the harmonic minor and melodic minor scales. As it turned out, they were easier than I’d anticipated, which for some reason I found vaguely disappointing.

@Amir Khalid: Great! Now do the modal scales. And if you REALLY want a challenge…go for Schönberg 12 tone. Just don’t try to send me your therapy bill.

Thank you for Guantanamera!

@NotMax:
The former. I don’t think it would be possible at this stage, or in the current political climate, to screw with Najib’s trial. Besides, Muhyiddin used to be Najib’s deputy PM — until he said in public that the 2.6 billion ringgit that turned up uninvited in Najib’s bank account should be investigated. Najib fired him for that. So when it comes to helping Najib out of this jam, Muhyiddin will be motivated to do precisely fuck-all.

My friends who both have the fucking virus (they are boyfriends but not cohabitating) posted an Instagram story today where they were cuddling. They’d added the “Stay Home” badge to it and um, bitch one of you is not at home. So irresponsible.
ETA: one of them traveled between Hell’s Kitchen and Long Island City and I assume took the E. Not just a stroll next door.

@Amir Khalid
Possibility of a rift in the party, splitting into Muhyiddin and Najib factions?
NotMax
@Major Major Major Major
Boo on them. Irresponsible.
Been meaning to inquire if subways are operating on a normal or reduced schedule. Also if any station closures.
Amir Khalid
@NotMax:
Muhyiddin is not in Umno anymore. He joined Dr Mahathir’s new party, PPBM, and when Dr Mahathir quit a few weeks ago the King appointed him as the new PM.

@Patricia Kayden: Pete Seeger did a version for many years. Here’s a performance that includes an introduction with the lyrics’ provenance and a translation of the lyrics. (Actually, that whole album is terrific, with an occasional blip, and still too damned relevant.)

Oooh, yes. Guantanamera rocks.,

Since this is a music and respite thread, I’ll repeat this from downstairs:
Richard Thompson is doing a show on Facebook Live on Sunday 2020-03-29 at 9 PM GMT (which I BELIEVE will be 4 PM EDT, 1 PM PDT). It’s a good reason to look forward to tomorrow (or later today).

Hard day, short time, just reading, no time to post, open thread, so,
Bad,
Great, this am, Death March to train, guy with 4 large boxes, saw the shipping labels. Orange, large, nitrile gloves. 100 per box, 12 boxes per carton. Taquerias San Salvadore. Said hi. He ordered them for staff, before,………despite take out and delivery, lots of excess. So he started his Saturday, dropping off 2400 at Surrey General, then riding transit to drop the same amount at VGH and Saint Pauls.
Saint.
Then some peace,
The world keeps spinning,
Bye for now, sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite.

That Dylan song brings to mind American Pie with November 22, 1963, being the day the [something] died and the verses filled with song and historical references.
Bruuuuce
@Amir Khalid: Relevant, yes. But overwhelmingly appropriate (especially that concert, which was all about the fight for civil and other rights) can be disheartening.
Pete has taught me that anger is better than despair, and a far better motivator for action.

Interesting week to be watching the Ring Cycle, via Wagner week on the Metropolitan Opera’s free streaming for the shutdown. People, and Gods, bringing disaster on themselves and the world because they can’t help being who they are
But basically, the Ring Cycle is the Rogue One to Norse Mythology’s Star Wars. Hard not to think that whatever Odin and the gods are doing is more interesting than this fuckboy Siegfried. I’m going to have to go back and read more about Wagner and his influence. I always skipped when readings talked about him because he seemed such a large lump to digest and the commentary and criticism never really inspired me to look more closely. I know the Nazis idolized him, but Siegfried as a hero shows why it fell apart for them.
I tried to watch it when it was on PBS a decade ago, but barely made it an hour into Rheingold. I think some of the mistake was treating it like a movie that could be spoiled. This time I jumped onto Wikipedia before each act so I wasn’t wondering who these people are.
