FYI - I'm running (Monterey - the latest OS) on my iMac and YouTube videos show up on Plan B if I use Chrome or Firefox but not Safari. Knowing Apple, this might have been intended, but there might be a patch released for the problem if they get enough complaints and/or inquiries.

Gob, do you know the story behind James Taylor’s Fire and Rain song? I didn’t know until recently but maybe I’m just the last to know. It made me appreciate the song more than before.

Yep, read up on it recently. Not quite the sweet love song it first appears....

A year and a half ago I introduced you to Robyn Bollinger:

If the recording of Bach's Chaconne (from Partita No. 2) that you're listening to is not literally making you weep from the sheer force of its emotion and beauty, throw it out and find one that does; this one does it for me:



(If you don't have time to listen to the whole performance, at least listen to the second half, starting about 7:20 or so. It is simply breathtaking.)

Today, at only 30 years of age, she won the audition for the concertmaster's chair at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. WOW.

Crackpot, you should start going to the orchestra (assuming she takes the job).

This world is full of amazing performers and I am so happy to live in the age where the magic of the interwebs lets me see and hear so many of them.

That is terrific. Thanks, Econo, as a fiddle fan I'll be listening to that a lot.

For our "fiddle fan" then

Excellent cover of a good song to start up the day.

[Bicycle Bill]

Very nice.   I like this version almost as well as the original.

Ghost Note with Mono Neon on (left handed) acoustic bass guitar. This is a frickin jam.

Saw these guys last night, singing in a church in Penzance. Amazing harmonies, beautiful singing.

in re BB's post above. It seems to me there is something about a counter-tenor voice that just sounds better in a big church.

Nice piece in the Times about the full set. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/26/arts ... &fs=e&s=cl

Very well done. I was wondering if Joni still could still sing and/or perform.

There's my answer.

Apparently she did a whole set of songs, instrumental on some and singing on others - you can probably find it all on YouTube. Not bad for having to relearn walking, guitar and singing after her aneurysm in 2015. Here’s a piece about that, with an embedded interview of her on CBS. https://www.nme.com/news/music/joni-mit ... os-3276782
