Music is FUN!!

Oh, goodness!

Eric Gales!

Look how much fun he’s having….ROCKING OUT!

There is so much processed and choreographed crap in the music world….and then there’s guys like Eric Gales….playing with ferocity and joy.

It is so good to see stuff like this!

Willie Nelson….A Song for You….Honeysuckle Rose

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89mQIfHYsyA

I think that Willie had done something pretty bad when he sang this to his movie wife, Dyan Cannon.

I think that this was the vehicle he used to drive out of the doghouse.

How long ago was Honeysuckle Rose released?

38 years ago!

1980 was a ways back there.

I wonder if Willie is still in trouble?

Lori McKenna….Humble and Kind

Tim….ummmmm, what’s his name? Married to Faith….errrrrrrrrr….what’s her name?….sang this song.

I like Lori McKenna’s version.

She wrote it….it should be the best version.

When you can write with this much depth and insight….man.

So good.

1/4 acre!! Urban!! Productive homestead! St. Pete Ecovillage!

Look at what’s possible!

Here’s a 1/4 acre garden and homestead in the town of St. Petersburg, FL.

What could we do if we knew that we could do it?

Food….not lawns?

Yeah.

Bezosbub…

Jenny has a Kindle that she had on the bedside table last night.

She mentioned it to me when I came to bed…and wondered if Alexa was listening to us.

That’s creepy.

I was kidding around with her and mentioned that Amazon was listening all the time…and that Jeff Bezos was really a dark figure named Bezosbub.

Bezosbub.

Hmmmmmmm.

I’m getting used to all kinds of “big brothers” listening in all the time.

I’m just a frog….doing the backstroke in a pot of lukewarm water….over a fire…getting hotter and hotter….used to the heat.

Alexa?

Should I be afraid of all these “helpful” apps?

Acoustic Duo at TedXKlagenfurt!

Here’s the Showhawk Duo at TedxKlagenfurt.

In the description they talk about music being an oxytocin boost.

Man.

Don’t I know it.

Music is one of the best things that ever came along….about the best.

Here’s the description:

Music works a lot like language does – except instead of words and ideas, it expresses emotions and intent. It also gives us an oxytocin boost, which plays an important role in increasing bonding and trust between people. The Showhawk Duo bonded TEDxKlagenfurt’s audience with their spectacular approach to playing the guitar. Listen to the magic they created on stage with their version of Insomnia – I can’t get no sleep, Tiesto’s Adagio For Strings or the most unexpected thing you can expect on a guitar Bohemian Rhapsody. Young British guitarists Mikhail Asanovic and Jake Wright, together known as The Showhawk Duo, started out as buskers and have since gone on to play all over the globe. They have appeared on BBC Radio 1 on the Nick Grimshaw’s Breakfast Show, they performed for the LAD Bible and BBC Radio Bristol. They played at the UK’s large festivals including the Main Stage at Bestival, Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Wilderness, Somersault and more. International performances include F1 Grand Prix in Singapore, Seychelles, club tours in Spain, Switzerland and the Netherlands and a 20 – date residency at Pacha in Ibiza. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

All the colors in the world…and God gave us the ability to appreciate music….and art….and each other!

Holy Smokes!

It’s good!
