It would appear the Twitterverse numbers have declined to the point where their latest “notifications” are now, conspicuously, clickbait. And who would actually click? Crazy!

Very sorry to hear about the death of Soft Machine keyboardist/co-founder Mike Ratledge, a superb talent. Here's a radio interview I did with him and (also now-departed guitarist) Allan Holdsworth back in 1974. A great loss.

If we’re talking favorite holiday tracks, must point out the one penned and sung by my son Greg a few years back. Dig it!

I have more hard drives than I know what to do with—more media than you’d believe—but upon moving things around today, I noticed that between 2022 and 2023, Seagate reduced their warranty for large hard drives by 1 year for North & South America. Believe me, I have a NAS and much more, but…ouch.

Just snagged a pic of my very first personal stereo system, provided by my parents circa 1968. Voice Of Music turntable, with its flukishly light tonearm and cartridge, preserved nearly every LP I ever played on it.
Plus a pic of the album I got with it, still one of my faves. “America,” yes!
