You don't want to get mixed up with a guy like me. I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel.

Work and funding underway to repair and program John Coltrane’s Strawberry Mansion house
A new nonprofit created by descendants of the jazz legend will take over stewardship of the future Philadelphia cultural space.

Last night’s David Byrne show at the Met in Philly was unlike anything I have seen in my life. Wireless musicians, no wires/monitors/micstands/stacks/effects pedals. The musicians danced Choreographically with HD set images (sometimes moving) projected around them. The sound quality was PERFECT.

I am falling down a Mahjong rabbit hole. Since learning the rules, I have been digging the strategy/scoring/History behind both the Chinese & Richi Rule sets. Found a Mahjong Meetup Group (Philly Mah-Jawn) that I’m going to check out. Been playing against apps be nice to play in person. #mahjong

AI nonsense, although I’m kinda OK with this. Although what’s with the wedding ring. Plus when I was married I would take off my ring as not to damage my goat skin Djembe head.
