Something different and beautiful.
Enjoy Jack
From the video notes:
The history making trio of Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer and Mark O’Connor perform O’Connor’s composition ‘Poem for Carlita” at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City. The three virtuoso string players performed this new American Classical music with such depth, passion and detail that the New York City audience erupted in an ovation after Yo-Yo Ma’s final – nearly silent harmonic note. Notice the look of admiration on O’Connor’s face as he looks at Ma at the conclusion of the piece, impressed by the cellist’s interpretive skills of his music. It is evident that this performance went to a new place for the trio and a new level for American Classical string playing.
jack, many thanks. beautiful. hypnotic both musically as well as visually.
now to break that wonderful spell, it’s you-know-what LIVE!

for those who are unfamiliar with and curious about the oscar-nominated “naatu naatu”
Lahari Telugu presents Naatu Naatu Full Video Song from RRR Telugu Movie. An M.M.Keeravaani Musical. Sung by Rahul Sipligunj & Kaala Bhairava.
I had only heard the soundtrack from RRR. The clip makes me think this will be the highlight of the Oscar-nominated songs performed next month. As it’s the only upbeat nominee, it may win. I’m pulling for the song from Everywhere, as I find it lyrically meaningful.
What is life? It’s an everything bagel.
Now you know.
Delightful Jack. And the film work is really good

This week is sublime. thank you
Jack, that trio recorded an album called The Goat Rodeo Sessions that’s available to Apple Music subscribers. That song isn’t on it. Thanks for posting it.
I accidently, passing by during channel changing, caught this sentence uttered by this fool: As per the classified documents issue Tuck Chodd actually said, “…Biden is in a slightly better position than Trump…”
That horribly no-good sniveling swine has to go.
Please, NBC, get Willie Geist to take his place. If you do I will watch it again.
Yo Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer and Mark O’Conner teamed up on a wonderful album: Appalachian Journey. On this cut, they are joined by James Taylor for a Stephen Foster song.
More fun with FB algorithm or how to mess with computers. Although my frequent searches had shifted FB, YouTube and the google machine into presenting me ads in different languages, multiple different languages, and genre, nothing prepared me for yesterday’s barrage of ‘come to jesus’ (little j due to appearing to be scams for money) on all three. What was extremely interesting results after a fb post I made about not being anti-Jesus before closing down yesterday evening. Not a single religious ad, that after a constant barrage. Now to see what I can stir up.
Jack… sweet!
looking forward to today’s football games…
Ma&Ya’s. LOL. Let’s see what T(f)ucker does with that. Idiot
too good to pass up…
I accidentally clicked on an ad at WAPO, thinking it was a news article.
I discovered a new word. “Aditorial ” An ad with an opinion I guess. BTW the spelling may be questionable as I hit the back button about 3 seconds after seeing the word.
Jack
Renee, LOL
I really wish I could share that one with MrsJack, she was a Beatles fanatic.

“A $100 million campaign, “He Gets Us,” that promotes Jesus Christ and his teachings is set to showcase its ads during the Super Bowl. It’s funded by anonymous donors acting through a nonprofit linked to staunchly conservative causes…”
Methinks this is a religious bait-and-switch scam. Who are all of these wealthy, anonymous donors?
Since when are right-wingers pro-gay or pro-woman or pro-immigrant?
Super Bowl ads aren’t cheap.
They’ve been airing for several months down here in hell.

“The Signatry is a global community and ministry dedicated to creating eternal impact through generosity across generations. Since our founding, we have facilitated more than $4 billion in transformational grants for nonprofits around the world.”
Here’s the money arm of “He Gets Us.”
I wish I believed that they were actually promoting acceptance of everyone. Call me a doubting Tomasa.

Nonprofits aren’t charities,
If you want to start you own nonprofit, here in Missouri it takes 3 people and $25. Been there , done that.
It takes a little more to get the IRS to recognize you as a charity (501c3) but not much more.
Again BTDT

Any beatles fanatic is ok by me 🙂
Mark Meadows went down to Georgia
He was lookin’ for some votes to steal.
Who said anything about it being a charity? I just don’t trust a conservative group who has decided it’s good PR to be inclusionary when they are not.
They are throwing a lot of money into it. Money that could be used to help the homeless, and assist seniors and the growing numbers who are food insecure.
They are talking the talk, but they haven’t taken a single step, as far as I can tell.
RR. I was too. 1st game wasn’t much of one. The 2nd – different kettle of fish. Worst few moments of the games were the Jesus ads.
Yeah Pogo…. First game was sad. Hell of a second game!
Jack… congrats on your team going to the Super Bowl… I’ll be rooting for them.
