For me, this one hurts big time. Big influence on me growing up. Vito Acconci, Performance Artist and Uncommon Architect, Dies at 77

Just saw him last month at a retrospective of his films. They started off with Swimming to Cambodia on the 23rd and ended with Cousin Bobby on the 26th with him giving a talk on the 24th.

Robert Pirsig (1928-2017)

Been listening to one released tune from this for the past month and the quality is much better than the cassettes. There's also extra music that I believe isn't on those cassettes. It has it's own beauty I think.

There are only two recorded examples of Holdsworth soloing on 12-string acoustic: one is the 1 minute "Gone Sailing" from Soft Machine's Bundles and the other is from 4 years later on "Jools Toon" which I couldn't find on YouTube, so I uploaded it. It's from that era when he did those great albums with more adventurous and perceptive musicians like John Stevens, Gordon Beck, a.o.

"...occasional Yanqui tune..." oh, boy...

The Killeen Luby's massacre happened about 25 years ago and about 150 miles SW of us here. Terrible thing.

You know I'm short walking distance from where that used to be (in the ad) and the one mentioned in the article is only a short distance away from that. Since, Libby used to live only a few blocks away from us, maybe we would've all got together to see Miss Inez in the old days. My sweetheart can't recall family outings with Libby at Luby's, but Luby's for the little lineage happened liberally. Trini Lopez! "When it's Libby, Libby, Libby at your table, table, table, she will like it, like it, like it, 'cause she's able, able, able..."

No, she's too fancy for that. Ruang, most likely.

Thanks Rooster. She almost lived in three centuries! On Friday, we're hoping to take a family friend, named Libby, to a favorite Thai restaurant to celebrate her 97th b-day. She's exactly 6 years older than the Queen! Only just this past year she sold her house and her car and she's still as sharp as ever. The University of Texas at Dallas has an undergraduate research journal named after her called The Exley.

I see these "oldest person living dies" frequently, but this Emma Morano was the last person born in the 1800s (that was still around) - and, you know, that's it folks. I don't know if growing old is an "accomplishment," but I'm pretty damn impressed with her and her spot in the history books if just for the fact that she stuck it out. Also, it often seems that people over 100 look miserable - like "did I really wish for this" kind of miserable. Can't see their mind tho.

I never went because they had a dress code. The Recovery Room (insinuated above) on the other hand...

Are you sure it's not still a jazz club, but all of the vet assistants are all dressed up like nurses and... oh wait...

I thought you were talking about Han!
