Heading off into the IT sunset on this the last day of my contract, today’s UMG all-hands finale comes live from Abbey Road Recording Studios in London (see the link, here). There was lots of cool retro tech from music recording’s bygone golden era, and the latest in live music. Alright, I admit, that last is maybe not exactly my cup of English Breakfast tea. Yes, the times they definitely are a-changin’. But while Sir Paul and Bob Dylan may still hold some echo of appeal for me, I’m sure there are those for whom the latest and greatest in live studio performance is the greatest thing since sliced bread. More power to ’em, that’s what I say. And yesterday’s penultimate “Donald Duck” post, here? Well, it must of course be followed by today’s “Porky Pig” post. I mean what else is there to say? Nuthin’ else. That’s all folks.
Now, for me it’s high time to get that passport updated. Going forward, you may reach me via email, though I promise nothing in terms of rapid response. Yeah, Robert Zimmerman (AKA Bob Dylan) definitely said it best. See the link, here.
Felices senderos y que Dios esté con ustedes. (Happy trails and may God be with you )
We visited Tulsa a couple of weeks ago. A+ for the Woody Guthrie Center, something less for the Bob Dylan though the music was great and I loved the Elvis Costello electronic jukebox playlist* — nearly 300 tunes — didn’t have to put in a single nickel. Did have to buy a $15 ticket to get in…unless you were a senior and did it for three fewer. The Guthrie Center has a google goggle virtual reality creation that lets you be “inside” a dust bowl. A jackrabbit hopped right up to my feet. Thankfully no grit in my teeth. *https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4l83mheuVNRPlSPUyDtM36
