If I could play like any guitar player it would be like Paco de Lucia. RIP. Hadn’t played his music in a while.

Anybody know where to find Herman Miller or Steelcase chairs on Long Island?
I wouldn't mind trying a few options out in person before forking over a boatload of cash.

Pretty awesome.

I watched season 1 and just watched a couple of episodes of season 2…those two characters are interesting and there are a couple of others but honestly compared to GOT (to my mind) it is not in the same league, not even compared to the much dismissed later seasons. There’s no Hound and Arya, no Tywin and Arya, no Tyrion, no villains the ilk of Joffrey or Ramsey or Little Finger - you can go on. The acting? The writing? Personal state? I don’t know, but I’m not all that keen on keeping up.

You read Fire and Blood?

finally got around to watch "Napoleon". Epic. Epic mess! It was ambitious and perhaps should have been a series? Was visually very good and acting as well. Dialog? Eh. Editing? A mess. Lacked much detail on facts and how the story evolved. Screenplay lacked. I love these types of movies and usually not that critical when they miss. I get the story gets enhanced for a movie to work. They either did not go far enough or should have condensed it into a smaller period of his career.

I never saw DeLuca live but caught Al Dimiola in 1978 with is own band, and seen John McLaughlin a few times. These are amazing musicians! The marvel of improved reproduction is we get to hear the textures of strings from fine acoustic performances.
My son studied classical guitar in high school and it was a pleasure to see his play evolve. To then hear "Masters" of the craft such as Deluca was mind blowing for me.
Thx for sharing!

Three episodes into the third season of Pennyworth. So far very fun and engaging and feels like it has picked up momentum after slagging a bit.

Prime Day. So what are people buying that they don’t really need?

I agree. Although HOTD has its moments. Like the last couple of minutes tonight.

Watched "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Thought it was very good. A continuation of the last trilogy, but also influenced by the original film and some of the sequels. Looking forward to the next installment.

Rewatched "Above the Rim" this weekend, one of my favorite BBall films. Found this great article

True. They didn't mention anything about Rhaenyra and Mysaria.
