Not just researchers. Ordinary blokes like you and me are looking at this too.

Many years later I told my husband about this and how I missed that harmonica. Next Christmas he gives me THE EXACT SAME harmonica in its beautiful box. I married a thoughtful, attentive guy.

Longish story. When I was in high school I had an Echo Lake harmonica that I would play in the car when stuck in traffic. When that car died I took it to the scrapyard (for something like $50) but totally forgot about the harmonica in its beautiful box in the glove compartment.

I get to spend hours each day sharing music with seniors. It is one of the many lights of my life.

You know what’s really good in an omelet? Peas. I tried it once when I had not much else to work with. And it’s one of my favorite fillings now. Peas go great w cheese and tomato.

I met one of my best friends over social media. I just completed the musical score for his most recent film.

This movie is unforgivably homophobic.

I understand, and I’m largely with you on that. In this case, the superheroes are all stands for the Maga crowd. The Boys and Gen V is a thinly veiled parody/commentary on white Christian nationalism. I don’t give a rats ass about any of the Marvel universe people.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.

This is Kirk's legacy.

You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.
