Popping back to Bluesky after a year long social media holiday to say hello to old and new friends.

Still plugging away on a documentary about a remarkable and inspiring nonogenarian composer.
Morning Benita. Have a wonderful Caturday!

I see that the TP-7 is a field recorder too. That's handy. Are you planning on doing a podcast down the road?

Looking on the brightside, every CD you bought supported and remunerated the artists you like

What's the make of the MP3 player? Our iPod is hiding somewhere in the house. I know, I should have transferred the files to my phone.

I can relate, Chris.

When you've amassed three decades of CDs, your Compact Disk collection ceases to be all that compact anymore.

Despite the storage issue, I've never been tempted to use Spotify. I like the tangible quality of vinyl and CDs, the album cover designs and sleeve notes too much.

Happy New Year, Benita!

You'll have to let me know your verdict. Like you, I haven't watched either series (or Jaws for that matter). Have you watched The Hour or Slough Horses? They are two of my favourite series in recent memory.

@jameschristopher.bsky.social It's wonderful to reconnect with you, Chris. I look forward to seeing your latest creative works. The music documentary is in the final phase of post production. Work on it was delayed for an extended period, but I'm working on it full time again.

I was hoping for a more nuanced understanding of the popularity of Bluesky from Dorsey.

People are leaving X and Meta for a host of complex reasons and serious concerns, ranging from the unethical monetizing of our personal data, to political interference and lastly our personal safety online.

Sending positive thought waves to you and Chris.

Yea olde Tea Room is there for you when you need us, Cricket.

Nicely done, Cricket. You've perfectly captured the essence of Bader ...and the skin tones are perfect.

Maine and Washington State are always welcome to rejoin Canada. They were were technically part of Canada (then British North America) until the 19th century.

C'est la vérité

They're a threat to the security and economy of the United States too. Countries around the world are working on trade deals that exclude the US.

Sadly, there are a lot of eggceptionally gullible voters out there.
