Every evening from about 2014 - 2024 I read aloud to my two children. "Hank The Cowdog", Douglas Adams, Tolkien, etc. So many wonderful evenings and discussions.
One day they became too busy with school and other activities, so we took a break but then never resumed.

Folks have speculated about how Hendrix might have evolved toward a jazz/rock sound...
but when I hear 'Stepping Stone' [1970] I wonder how much further he could have gone towards country funk.

Hey Nerds! just a gentle nudge that you should be using your 'Mutuals' feed. These are the people who will actually interact with your skeets. Engaging with accounts that don't follow you feels kinda pointless in this place.
