Partner got called out on a job on her birthday. That sucks. Ah, well, at least she got some time off soon to do nice things. Hope my body'll be up to leavin the house at some stage during that time.
Still, got some nice Syrian sweets waitin for her when she gets back. Heh. Advantage of not both bein on social media is I can say that stuff and it won't ruin the surprise.
All the best, folks. I'll get back to settin stuff up.

Okay, I gotta duck out again.
Will be busy tomorro with my partner's birthday. Top priority. She sacrifices a lot so I can survive and I'll damn well make sure her birthday is good. And it means a lot to her. (actually, it's more of a month, cause the present is comin late and she won't have time to get out and about for a few weeks. But still.)
Also, on a more self-centred note: the recovery is sort of improving. In that my damn weight stopped plummeting and is slowly clawin its way back up. That's the easy-listening g-rated version. Long and short of it is: I'm still about to make at least a bit of a nuisance of myself, with contractually obliged breaks in between loud bouts of yelling 'fuck'.
And on a sappy note: I appreciate gettin to chat to ppl. I like ya. I actually like ppl, which is annoying, despite the fact I'm a cranky fucker and also as socially awkward as a penguin at an orca's central heating salespeople convention. I don't always get the chance to hang about and talk these days, so don't take it personal if I have to duck out here and there. Plus, echhh the damn health thing can suddenly go "Right, get offline and deal with me. Now."
Anyway, love to ya all. Cheers, folks. Hope you're all gettin by.

As always, the Bri'ish will add insult to injury by renaming all these wonderful places Croydon or Birmingham or some shit, as if the originals were anything to write home about.

The weirdest place I ever lived was called Adelaide in Australia. Like, take a majestic floodplain and vast swampland at the edge of an even vaster aridland on the doorstep of achingly huge deserts that are so quiet at times that you can hear yourself think in a way you never could in many parts of the planet, natural environments or otherwise, then get a buncha Anglos perched on the edge of all this near the seaside pretending they're in Southwest England.

Basically you take the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and attendant weather systems, squeeze em up real tight thru a narrow channel between two not-at-sea-level land sections and slam them into each other repeatedly and you get a Strait that some asshole called Bass decided to name after himself.
Then everybody living there goes "Shit, why's the weather so changeable all the time" every 5 minutes like (points at map) look at where you are dude.

And at the other end, here is his very first record, from 1927, House Rent Stomp.

There are remasters and stuff about, which allow you to hear the low end better.
I talked lil about Broonzy before and the stereotyping.
https://aus.social/@morachbeag/113321653268282655
Worth remembering that he'd started out on violin, could play jazz and all sorts of stuff, but if you were Black, you got pigeonholed into Blues when recording. The studios wouldn't even release your stuff if you didn't adhere to it. Wouldn't even record it most of the time either. So, much music lost that way.
He was also the first blues artist to tour Europe.

Big Bill Broonzy. This is the last footage of him singing, cause he had to get surgery the day after. He'd live a further year.
Notice the incredibly heavy strings on that guitar. It's hard work playing something like that. No pick on the thumb either, holding down totally steady rhythm. Secret to acoustic blues rhythm: that thumb. Embellishments usually with index, maybe middle, maybe ring finger.
You'll note in the second tune he's doing a lot of that. Real finesse.

No shit. You can see where Tina Turner carved her name with the switchblade on Jeff's guitar here. Like, they did the session, she whips out the blade, carves her name, everybody goes out to dinner. Cause Ms. Turner was fuckin cool.
Also, 80s Jeff is Spinal Tap Jeff.

Ooo somebody paid 441 great big large ones for Jeff Beck's pink Jackon that he played on Private Dancer and Tina Turner signed with a switchblade.
(them last 6 words are the coolest you'll ever hear me say, depend on it)
