do you not listen to music? watch movies? read books? Or are you 100% focused on the more important stuff?

I think he's been that for a while...

It's so hard with so many genres. Depending on what you like, you may want to put in Segovia, or Chet Atkins, or Richie Blackmore or EVH....Django, Hendrix and Wes do seem like very safe bets though...

There are lots of new recordings from Django disciples. Usually filled with impressive virtuosity, but perhaps sometimes a little formulaic? but there are original compositions, and extremely talented performers (happy to elaborate)

I would argue that neither of those things should be fostered at all...

Growing up, we genuinely believed that knowledge and reason would eventually prevail. Crazy, right?

Yeah that's a very logical win and not particularly inpressive

At no point during his illness did we have to worry about cost or affordability. And that's in a French system that certainly has its quirks and flaws but is still leaps and bounds better at delivering care than the US system.

In the immediate aftermath, my siblings and I helped my mom deal with the administrative stuff (closing accounts and contracts etc.). What we did not have to deal with is medical bills. We never had to pay a single euro.

He was given the option of palliative care a few times, but wanted to try everything he could, and got into an experimental treatment that ultimately was not able to stop the metastasis in his lungs, and he passed away.

Healthcare stories elsewhere:
12 years ago, my dad died of cancer. He had been diagnosed 4 years earlier (age 59) with a cancer that had already metastasized. Over the course of his treatment, he went thru chemo, 3 major surgeries and hospitalizations....

That's awful and morally unacceptable.

I'd rather they didn't. I don't think the message is as positive as people make it to be...

A truly disgusting game by the Denver Nuggets.

S'il-vous-plaît, applaudissez. Ou s'il-te-plaît, applaudis.

I think he knows that...

I will be performing Prohibition-era tunes at the Magnolia Hotel in Downtown Denver this Thursday 12/5. 4-7pm, with a quartet: Clarinet, 2 guitars (including yours truly) and upright bass. #swing #gypsyjazz #hotclub #jazz

It's giving Tuesday vibes

There are some positives though... Like letting KCP go seems to have clearly been the right call. And getting Peyton and Julian some actual playing time is the only way to get them up to speed. But we seem to be lacking some offensive punch at the moment, and the effort level is lackluster...

Decided to cook rabbit for Thanksgiving. Was also tempted by a guineafowl. Anything but turkey!

Went to a fancy restaurant this weekend (James Beard award winner chef) and genuinely hated the entrées. This was for a special occasion, and everybody expressed satisfaction with the meal, but I suspect this was out of fear of ruining the mood. Is it worth breaking the omerta?

Musician friends: How would you quantify/objectify what constitutes a good melody?

I am all for religious freedom and absolutely opposed to any religious privilege. Your beliefs should have absolutely zero consequences for me and for society as a whole.

I hate to be that guy, but this is not how arrows work. (Kidding, I don't mind being that guy at all)
