COVID-19 2.0: No Politics edition
felser replied to ghost of miles's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
So do I. The 80% of "minor" occurrences include pneumonia and lung scarring. Just means you didn't need to be hospitalized and put on a respirator. I'm 65 and my wife is 68 and we are in the Pennsylvania epicenter, so we are definitely in for the duration except for essential supply runs. -
Got mine from Dell as an optional upgrade when I ordered the desktop PC in 2016.

Much better than I expected. Got it as part of an ebay lot, but it may surprisingly prove to be a keeper for me.

I'm happy with the Bose I have, and they weren't expensive, $100. https://www.amazon.com/Bose-Companion-III-Multimedia-Speakers/dp/B00CD1PTF0/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=bose+computer+speakers&qid=1584311272&s=electronics&sr=1-3

Watched a livestreamed church service this morning. We rewatched this last night. Excellent and profound. Really about Esquire journalist Tom Junod, and Fred Rogers' impact on his life from their encounters while Junod wrote a proflie on him, rather than about Rogers himself.

Buckingham-Nicks (their pre-Fleetwood Mac album)

Thankful! -
What rock music are you listening to? Non-Jazz, Non-Classical.

For old times sake, but I've never found it compelling overall, though the movie did drive home Springsteen for me, and Gil Scott-Heron's "We Almost Lost Detroit" is a masterpiece. -
Yes, I like that approach for sure. Mom and Pops are also maybe more likely more careful with hygiene at this time than kids at the chains.

My parents are 90 and 86, and I am cancelling family trip to see them and introduce them to their great-grandson late April in Florida. Very disappointed, but we do what we need to do during this time. Lord willing, we can reschedule for later in the year. We can all give thanks for the technology available to us, which softens the isolation during this trying time. What would this have been like 25 years ago, let alone 1918? We are locked down tight here, governor of Pennsylvania has (rightly) shut down all of the PA suburbs of Philly. We are set for awhile to ride it out. I am good to work from home (prefer it anyways) and my wife already does 95% of her work from home. My daughter and 2-year-old grandson live with us, and my daughter's banking work is the main point of exposure, but the governor just shut down her credit union's county (Chester County, also where I work). The county where we live, Montgomery County, has been shut down for a few days already. Glad to have you guys to correspond with during this time.

Grab 'em while you can. Three sides of great music ("Revelation" is a mess, wasting a whole side of the second album). I am also a fan of 'Four Sail' and 'Out Here', and of the concert version of 'Forever Changes' with Baby Lemonade doing the backup. It is magical in the same way the Brian Wilson 'Smile' concert is magical, a great performance of beautiful music (Lee is in wonderful shape) and also a powerful story of survival and redemption. One of my most played concert DVD's. -

Wonderful stuff. Spring for the full albums especially Forever Changes. -
Somewhat up to us.

People are scared, and trying to come to grips with the unknown. It is about statistics and probabilities, and the less trips out, the less contact with people/surfaces/etc., the less likely one is to catch/spread this thing. It's not the plague, but it's also not just the flu. I have sympathy for people right now, and will bear with them. It will settle into a new normal soon enough. And it will pass in time.

Cerner just issued a directive for Malvern employees (such as me) to work from home for two weeks. That's a good thing, and I am well-prepared to do so.
-
Strange selections if that is going to be it for the series. Wish they would reissue Sam Rivers - Streams and some of the John Klemmer titles.

I see he has credits for that Morgan album, the Bobo album Jim referenced, and an early 70's Pucho album which looks pretty cool, with a medley of three Curtis Mayfield cuts from Superfly taking up side 1.

I requested and received permission to work from home for duration. Does not negatively impact my work at all, in fact I am more productive and happier working from home, especially under these circumstances. Governor of PA just closed schools and all stores except grocery/pharmacy in our county (Montgomery County, PA, adjacent to and just west of Philly) for two weeks.

A great listen. Has aged gracefully. And much more depth and breadth to the album tracks than I ever would have dreamed. Highly recommended. -
Looking forward to it, but also wish the original was available, for balanced perspective.

$10 cheaper from importcds.com than from anywhere else if you're willing to wait for them to fill their back order. Will run you under $30 including tax and shipping. -
My favorite version of it, for both Coltrane's and Tyner's solos, is Newport '63. even though I would have much rather had Elvin Jones on drums for that than Roy Haynes. 'Expansions'. 'Extensions'. 'Sahara', 'Enlightenment'. and 'Sama Layuca' are probably my five favorites, though he did so many other great albums before and after. All of the 60's-70's Blue Notes and the Milestones have so much to offer, as do most of the rest of his catalog.

We can't even get isopropyl alcohol and aloe to make our own here.
