On a lighter note…

Well…I’m getting pretty fed up with writing about the cancer of trump and trumpism so I think this one will have a lighter note and I’ll just talk about music and some other stuff that interests me. I’m in a little better of a mood today with hearing from a friend that I hadn’t heard from all week and that made me worry about her…but, heard from her last night and this morning so I guess things are back to normal…oh, the music…my son got his streaming service back on line over the weekend and that gave me back a channel called axsTV that is all about music and musicians and that helps relieve the boredom somewhat. Yesterday, there was a show on about the making of AJA by Steely Dan and it was so cool to see Donald and Walter back together in the studio again and to listen to interviews with the studio musicians who played on the album….and to see D and W play with the engineering board to isolate the different tracks and then explain how and why they wanted it done that way…a pretty cool hour that made me miss Walter even more. There was another one with the Who and how their project called “lifehouse” turned into Who’s Next…one of my favorite albums of theirs and it was just interesting to see the process that Pete Townshend goes through when he creates the Who’s music…again, breaking down the different parts of the songs and showing how he thinks…pretty cool stuff that you just don’t get to see very often. Oh, one last thing that is not music related but still cool…SpaceX is launching a satellite tonight at about 8:45 and they will try to land the first stage on the drone ship…might be cool to see one in the dark….
