bats brew

and now this: Second strain of coronavirus causing pigs to vomit in China 'could spread to humans' SADS-CoV is thought to have come from bats and has been threatening the livestock industry since 2016 but new research shows humans could be vulnerable to infection

this would explain why some people get it, EVEN when they've taken what they think are every precaution. case in point: Nick Saban.

Coronavirus May Stay for Weeks on Banknotes and Touchscreens surface ---------------68dF----------------86dF---------------104dF Stainless steel--------5.96 days______1.74 days______4.86 hours Polymer note----------6.85 days______2.04 days______4.78 hours Paper note-------------9.13 days______4.32 days______5.39 hours Glass-------------------6.32 days______1.45 days______6.55 hours Cotton------------------5.57 days______1.65 days______none recovered Vinyl--------------------6.34 days______1.4 days______ 9.9 hours scientists at the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness showed SARS-CoV-2 is “extremely robust,” surviving for 28 days on smooth surfaces such as glass found on mobile phone screens and plastic banknotes at room temperature, or 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit). That compares with 17 days survival for the flu virus. it thrives more in cold than hot. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/coronavirus-can-persist-for-four-weeks-on-banknotes-study-finds/ar-BB19UtuQ

yep, covid held up the cd replicators... there are others in town, but these guys did my last 3, so i'm sticking with them. maybe monday, i'll be able to hand it off, they turn it around in about 3-4 days, usually... but nothing is usual these days!!

no one will know, until the virus is under control.

he had a great voice... the clearly song, was probably my earliest exposure to reggae style.. i also liked tears on my pillow, RIP JN

nah, not worth it.

oh, i still have files to create, the plague around here slowed things down a bit, haven't even taken the cd files to the replicators yet... i'm guessing it's a couple of weeks out, then i'll post an official thread with links, sound clips, etc. it's a cdbaby thing, and since they don't sell anything anymore, but handle the digital uploads and send the cd's directly to amazon, it's a waiting game. when i get the discs next week, if anyone wants to get one then, i'd be happy to just send them directly

we'll see, when you ask...

digital downloads, yes.... via Itunes and Amazon or cd's or, contact me directly, i'll give you any file you want.

no torrent. buy the cd. LOL

yea, kinda like the old queen disclaimer 'no synths'... LOL

no, i watch whales.

this will be album #5. i thought, i've written so many instrumentals thru the years, that no one will ever hear, why not write some new ones that are a 'get away' from this phuckin' covid mess we're in.... it will be that kind of album, one you sit and listen to from top to bottom, because it's kind of a journey, the way the songs are sequenced... it's also the first album i've done that features zero amps and mics, except for a few percussion tracks... it was a BIG experiment in tracking guitars and bass with modeling, after 40 years of pure tube snobbery!! LOL

woops, i'm an indian?

baby jabba....? my first full length instrumental album. this one is REALLY good! being baked as we speak...

fish dinner.

i've had one burning at the top of my neighborhood for almost 2 weeks now... 60 acres, and 200 fire fighters working in the most steep and untouchable terrain possible, and they still only have it 35% contained. lightning hit a tree (dry lightning, never even saw or heard it), and it's like kindling up there. we have not had one drop of rain since june 30 here.... since the threat to the super expensive houses at the top of the neighborhood is low, no evac plans issued yet. they are being patient. but i've been breathing toxic smoke fumes for over a month now, from washington and oregon, california, and now here (salt lake city) i don't think my lungs will ever recover, and i haven't been able to sing in a month.

yea, babies, they're a bit of a pain, eh?!
