Retired from teaching in 2006. Been loafing or playing music or grandfathering ever since. I didn't say I was pretty. I've been on oxygen since pneumonia in 2015. Bitching and bellyaching are definite activities and some explanation of my social isolation.
I don't recall that snippet. Was it while the bus was passing Rancho Malario?

Randy Newman is one of the greats and this rendition of his song is too.

By the way, there is an app for Bluesky in Windows (although I suspect you might be an Apple user).

There is a Fred Blee on Facebook from Binghamton, New York. An influential relative?

I think I just figured out what "Write your reply" means. Duh. I think I've posted answers to this as posts rather than replies maybe four times. Slow learning curve for me.

And hadn't you set up a music page here?

I don't know, but it is so far a less threatening an environment. True, I don't know a lot of folks here, but I have hope more will jump ship.

On a home page, apparently. I'm starting to feel comfortable with it. I'm closing my FB account next Tuesday.

At home. I'm starting to see few operational differences from The Face Book.

A couple decades ago, I'd worked out the second movement mandolin part on guitar. Still looking for someone to play the 2nd mandolin part.
