Sorry. It's the 5th times the charm for me..! But, I'll have to think on a 1st? :thinking:

Top middle - Gollum on the Keyboards..."We loves the Precious, we does...YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"...

And so the band "Yes" was named that fateful day many, many years ago.

Check out Leonid and Friends on YouTube for what Chicago would sound like in modern times. Those guys got me back into my high school Chicago tunes.

Some of the slightly slured lyrics are funny, given English is a 2nd language. But these guys rock it.
Thank you!

They are great! I saw Chicago fifty + years ago when my sister decided she didn't want to go and gave me her tickets. I sat right behind the band and it was sooooo cool! And when they turned around to do a song for the all of us behind them, it became something I will never forget! Those folks are true musicians and so are Leonid & Friends. I hate most gnu music...

Hey I have barely ordered more than a half dozen albums today and some of them were for my wife, the rest were for Finnegan, the cat needs his music. He seems to have developed an interest in Lou Reed. He rolls over on his back with his paws in the air when he hears Sweet Jane. I tried to let him hear the Cowboy Junkies version but he just walks away. It must be a feline thing.
Emphasis on “today”. ’nuff said. Finnegan sounds like a cat I could raise a glass with. Snap (his mother is Ginger…) will usually come find a lap when Haydn’s Symphony No.55 ‘The Schoolmaster’ (one of my favourites) is playing. I think he prefers Hogwood.

We have a similar cat named Deeezil, technically he is my daughters but allergies keep him with us.😉

I'm not so sure ... I see it as a seductive but hazardous rabbit hole .... dive in and you find positive and seemingly serious reviews of A+ rated $50,000 turntables and $5,000 cartridges .. and you're not sure if you're reading Stereophile or The Onion.
I also chose to leave vinyl behind. But NOT my fountain pens…

Nothing wrong with that. As a former calligrapher (albeit a plebeian one!) a good pen is mighter than a cartridge and needle. Or...Nah. But writing can be an art and fountain pens have style in the right hand.

What have you got against left handed people...? :laughing:
