Here’s a tune I composed, with me on keys & drum set and Angela Schmidt on bass. This is a short version of a much longer tune. youtu.be/IdDIggPC5YU?...
Some of us (Far Corner) have had the privilege of performing at Milwaukee’s Shank Hall, named after the club from Spinal Tap. We should’ve arranged and performed a version of “Stonehenge.” I wonder if anyone has done that at the fine establishment.

@radiofreeskaro.bsky.social Not a Fluid Links question, but is the set designer for the Peabody Awards a Doctor Who fan?

@veritypodcast.bsky.social I enjoyed the latest episode on The Robot Revolution. I found a lot of complete agreement with many of your observations, and was saying some of the same exact things to my wife. Nice to hear you back “on air” again.

@radiofreeskaro.bsky.social How many of the actors who played the Master would make for a great Doctor? Who might be the best & why? What two actors would you like to see in the reverse roles going head to head against each other (e.g. Tom Baker against John Simm’s Doctor)? #FluidLinks
