Fantastic!

Never underestimate a triggered and protective Blue Jay. Those suckers come a-peckin'!

I don’t, maybe once a week recently. Prior to that probably hadn’t smoked in a year or so. The money you lose will increase your heart rate, especially if your wife yells at you. I have never bet.

Ts-find, nice stuff !

How about the consequences of legal sports betting?

There is a relationship between heart rate and blood pressure. When cannabis lowers blood pressure - which it does - the heart speeds up. If you use it a lot the effect - lower pressure and faster pulse - diminishes.

Different church:

Cedar Walton plays on some tunes here.

Church organ and roller rink organ are two very different breeds. Church organ makes me think slow, somber held notes. Roller rink organ is not slow or somber and lightly held notes. But that's just me. Catholic churches were dark & somber in general, so it makes sense that I'd think that about the organ playing. Best church organ song ever:

Piano Trio No.3 & No.6

I love these solos ever since I heard one of them on a Folkways anthology on African & Afro-American Drums way back in 1972. I was so glad when the CD finally was issued. https://www.discogs.com/release/3091405-Baby-Dodds-The-Laneville-Union-Brass-Band-The-Lapsey-Band-Talking-And-Drum-Solos-1946-Country-Brass-
