As an actor, I went by Bart, as a musician Barton.
Yes, I was the violinist in the orchestra pit of an Edgar Allen Poe play where I acted in the lead role.
I would finish my lines and then jump into the orchestra pit and play spooky violin to end the scene, wearing a fake moustache. Haha

There is an epidemic of arm injuries with MLB pitchers happening. Most say due to increased spin rate and high velocity pitching. Imagine how great Michael Kopech could have been had he pitched in the 70s.

Max Headroom designers must have been inspired by Marshall McLuhan. Not only his "medium is the message" concept but also the look of this video of Marshall McLuhan from 1967.

I figured out the polychords in this jazz ii-V-I turnaround in Eb Major.
Nice 3+3 voicings. You would hear this on a jazz Christmas record very often.
Turnaround is Fm7>Bb7>Eb
Spice it up to Fm13>Bb7b9#11/13>Eb 6/9
If you use a polychord synonym, you get:
Gm/Fm7>G7/B7>Bb5/Cm
Useful? Maybe.

Painful to see as a White Sox fan. I'm happy for Crochett, but it's a reminder that we can't have nice things. Ugh.
If White Sox draft a great player, we have to ship him to another team. The business model requires mediocrity, not greatness. Soon to change let's hope.
