“As you know, I like all kinds of music, as you know …”

I guess there’s some new film/album about and by west coast recording artists near, around, or in Compton.

I know near nothing of the genre. When I hear it in proper settings (e.g. the Circle) it always sounds tremendous. 

Anyway, a fad on the Internet has been customizing some “gangsta” shit to thy own ‘hood, as it were.

Here is the collection I created:

   
                   
Not the usual m.o. but kinda cool.

Questions welcomed

… It’s true.

The OFFICIAL Memorial Event for Sir Christopher Lee was perhaps among the finest ever hosted here at The New Great Hall by the Sea.

OLG provided the catering, and they were definitely on the “A” game.

The Host was making Rye Manhattans for all those interested.

“Horror of Dracula” has never looked and sounded so good. And twas best to be in the company of good fellowship as the Good Count Dracula was utterly betrayed.

After a spell of Good Times and mingling we were delighted to see the Master from 1978 as he hosted Saturday Night Live.

Laughs a-plenty.

After more good times, mingling, and reflection we had our first go at chorale work.

With a bit of dice roll the teams were determined. Herr O and Visitor Blim sang the chorus while a Tech Support and I sang the verses. Paul drew “wild card”.

The Now Today Chorale debuted with “Comfortably Numb”.

We ran it 3 times, with minimal direction. When not singing we were invited to “drone”.

As an encore we ran “Gimme Three Steps”, once.
