Goodnight Dave & Thank You

 One of our world's incredibly talented rock masters has kicked off this mortal coil and that would be Dave Mason. Mr Mason was several years older than myself but I followed his music from back in the late sixties. Mason was Traffic although Steve Winwood would disagree. Mason DID write a fair number of Traffic hits and that takes away nothing from Winwood. Clash of artist egos and I've seen that before any number of times. Probably my favorite Mason work was 'Alone Together' and I still listen to the album in it's entirety. Mr Mason worked with the giants of the music industry way back when and Mason's pedigree is nothing to sneeze at. Jimi Hendrix, Clapton, Mick Fleetwood's band, Delaney and Bonnie, the list goes on and there are plenty of accolades to spread over a lifetime of fine rock tunes and sonatas of various appeal and experimentation. Dang fine artist no doubt. Mr Mason lived in my Nevada and I did not know that. Doesn't matter I would have left Mason alone to be "together." So our world loses another fine musician and another light is extinguished. Sad to think that the excessively ugly are here to provide us all with egregious torment. I'm adding my very favorite Mason tune that I discovered probably back in 1971. One of the finest rock ballads ever. Have a listen -


Rest in peace Mr Mason ... I'll miss your presence. Now for sad and deep Thursday machine art.

  Back up and running. Got the new computer and it's a thing of beauty. Oh yeah. Works and everything like that. However if you get a new computer on a Friday and find it necessary to obtain some technical support, good luck with that. Ain't not none to be a found anywhere and not for love nor bitcoin. Annoying to be quite certain. Anyway, time for some catch up. Here's todays machine art. ruffled feathers - nonbinary portrait - okay and so we are off and running once again. 😃

Alrighty everyone back to work. Or school. Or whatever. Monday is come round again and there ain't not a thing can be done about that. You see, Mondays happen. As do Tuesdays then Wednesdays than...you might be able to catch my drift. In the further adventures of Philias Fogg (aka Around The World In Eighty Days airing on PBS), the intrepid trio was saved from off'n the island they'd been stranded on. Ms. Figg and the valet Passepartout seemed on the verge   sucking face but the trio (Philias Fogg, Abigail Fix, and Passepartout the valet and his first name is Jean) were saved and we the viewers were sparred a moment of forbidden love. You see the valet Passepartout is black and Ms. Figg is white and the 'Around The World In Eighty Days' tele-adventure is portrayed in the "Victorian era." Snobbery and racial bias is everywhere. British television's very own Dr. Who is portraying Philias Fogg. That would be David Tennant. The actor and not some on-the-fl...
