This popped up on YT after I had searched for Dónal-related content after his passing on Oct 24. What a mench, to borrow a term from another tradition. A great video to watch especially for those who are interested in tracing the movement of peoples through song youtu.be/42hviQGgpOM?...

Didn't know that Dónal played on this record, but it makes sense that he did, and it's one of my favorites as well

Played two shows today, with two bands, each being made up of some of the people I most love to play with Both sets were loads of fun So that felt good Also I'm tired and a bit sore, haven't finished loading everything downstairs yet, ha

Dónal Lunny was a totemic figurehead at the prow of Irish Music and culture, always navigating the tradition forward to new and uncharted territories. A gentle genius never to be forgotten. Sincere condolences to all his family and friends. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam

I'm playing at this today, in a one-off band called "Gnome Hatz"

Hey, any Maryland people in my mentions who have not yet signed up for community solar, hmu if you want a referral. You'll pay 90% of your current BGE rates, so 10% off, plus you and I both will get a $50 credit. I don't work for them, just doing it for the vouchers (and bc more solar is good)

Becoming a dad later in life means you get to start a lot of long-winded tangents with "you see..."

Just busted out the turntable for the first time in an embarrassingly long period of indeterminate length, and am playing this record by Andy Stack & Jay Hammond that I got from them when Mike and I played with them a few years back. It's good! I figured the kids wouldn't mind

It's a real nice album, for those who have not yet laid ears on it

Question for audio people: let's say you had a splitter cable that was a 1/4" TS split into two 1/4" TSFs. Would the 1/4" instrument cables plugged into the TSF ends of the splitter carry less signal than was originally present? If so, is each side cut by 50% or some other %?

High temperature in Baltimore will be 87 degrees today. 87°f. On October 14

Ruin a book by adding a word to the title Goodnight Cruel Moon

We need to get back to believing that people are essentially good and can do amazing things. I don't care if that makes me sound like a deluded hippie or whatever, it's what needs to happen. The endless security theater and paranoia of the 21st century is also hurting all of us. It fucking sucks

Maybe some of you might know- Is there a Stew Mac, but for DIY audio electronic projects?

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

I got a phone with a decent camera a few days ago. Here's some Japanese Beautyberry that grows near our house

Handy folks here, what is this washer thing called with the ridges?

Good read about some Baltimore musics made by some people I've long enjoyed listening to

Today's Meet Up At The Movies was a real good time!

The way I see it, wildfire haze is good for one thing only, which is making the moon look redder as it rises

Had some nice family times eating out back tonight, watching hummingbirds buzz and dart around the lonicera. At points there were as many as four at a time

Please blow up the public comment (included below): BREAKING NEWS (7/15) — The administration wants to destroy Chaco Canyon without consulting Tribal Nations. It’s an irreplaceable historic & cultural site with 4,700 archeological sites that could be lost to the bulldozers of oil & gas development

A Hey Baltimore quick reminder and heads up that this is about to happen Hail yes, see you

"We are the music we play. Our commitment is to peace, to understanding of life. We keep trying to purify our music, to purify ourselves, so that we can move ourselves, and those who hear us, to higher levels of peace and understanding." Happy Birthday Albert Ayler born July 13, 1936
