Thanks for linking to the Andy Partridge piece (although it was a summary of the Guardian article, maybe that would have been a better selection?). Also see you're tracking the new release by Sloan, one of Canada's finest recording and performing acts.

Loved the Rock Chronology via guitar vid! However much he may have wanted to, he had to omit songs by Yes, ELP, Genesis, or any generally keyboard-focused songs! Perhaps another vid...but, his was an enormous undertaking!๐ŸŽผ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽธThanks!

Thank you for the kind words and signal boost! ๐Ÿ˜€

The Sample is fantastic- for readers and writers both. Iโ€™ve found some really cool newsletters that way.

Record-wise, Iโ€™ve been down a deep INXS rabbit hole lately, so that Shabooh Shoobah re-release caught my eye.

Hi Chris (and Kevin!),

I've just signed up to The Sample. Thanks both of you for the recommendation, interested to see how it goes.

PS Got an old friend visiting tomorrow, so I am literally spending today, "making plans for Nigel"!

If youโ€™ve never been to the Gorge at George, Washington, you should catch Joni Mitchellโ€™s show! Iโ€™ve been to a number of concerts there, and was never once disappointed. Besides...Joni Mitchell! ๐Ÿคช
