Okay, if you make it to the end then it is a pretty great essay.

I especially enjoyed this part:

The 2 fiddle tunes I'm learning this winter, The Dancing Master (aka The Swallowtail Jig) and of course. Sally Goodin.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

You can see the Aurora Borealis over Denver tonight! That is wild! I never thought this would happen.

You can buy a brand new stereo lathe for $5k, why would you pay $8k for a lathe from the 1940's (maybe 50's) that cuts records in mono?

The record lathe market is full of unrealistic deals like this.

Is it pointless to remind you that Mr Pacman is playing a rare show on Saturday night in Denver.

This has been a really good book on early American fiddle playing and music in general. I'd highly recommend it if you are a music history geek like me.

I have this photo of my cat Kato lying on the floor of my house a few hours before I took her to the vet to be put asleep. It's a heartbreaking picture, I only look at it every now and then. It makes me sad every time.

Google Photo did this to it:

Mr Pacman is playing a show on November 15 at a mortuary. I don't know why it is at a mortuary. I just go where they tell me to go, wear what ridiculous outfit they ask me to wear, and play what keyboard parts they ask me to play.

If you're in Denver, you should come.

This was a much better record than I expected. I might start searching for the rest of this series.

There is just so much good recorded music that I have never heard before. I love series like this that give me the opportunity to fix a little bit of that.

I started playing viola in 1980, stopped in 1992 when I got into playing bass. I was okay at it, never really good though. A few days ago, I bought an old beater violin to see if I could get better.

Funny thing is, everything came flooding back and I'm just as bad at it now as I was 33 years ago 😂

After having dental surgery yesterday, I had a dream that I met Rose Maddox on a city bus in Denver and we fell in love.

Lunchtime reading at work today!

This has been a super cool read!

Because when I am obsessed with something I like to announce it by adding a new T-shirt in my wardrobe.

Another amazing release by NYAHH records, distributed in the USA by @eiderdownrecords.bsky.social !

Man oh man do I love a slow fiddle fiddle tune!

My beginner's banjo ($200 from China 🤷‍♀️) arrived. Time to start practicing!

Good morning!

The list of songs I'm planning on learning this winter on guitar or banjo. Should be a fun learning experience.

Any other standards I should learn?

I bought a second $30 children's guitar so I don't have to retune my other one (which is tuned D-A-D-G-A-D most of the time) to standard tuning so I can learn bluegrass songs. Winning!!!

I spent my evening playing this First Act, children's guitar for way longer than I thought, 2 hours. Now I gotta get a quick dinner made and head off to bed. Fun night, just not enough of it. See ya on the flip side!
