It seems that so many wonderful people are leaving this world, and now Jimmy Buffett is one of them. I’ve known Jimmy for some time and found him to be one of the kindest and most generous people.

I remember once on holiday when I had forgotten to bring my guitar and was… pic.twitter.com/k5B6xgpAh7 -
I would definitely show up for that.
I do recall Adele at her Tiny Desk Concert joking about getting a visa…

A lot of good info here, but I can tell you from experience, that height can vary.
I used to always say I’m 6 feet tall. Unless I’m playing basketball, then I’m 6’2″.
I saw a documentary not long ago that eating more in the womb does happen, but that was about why identical twins were different heights.
And they have said that they’ve never been tested to see if they are identical twins.

The discussion of the relationship between music and math makes me think of different types of child prodigies.
Music and math are 2 kinds of prodigies.

Jung,
Thanks for posting that version of Tommy playing Over the Rainbow. Covers can be amazing, but covering a standard, which by definition has been covered a lot, and still having something amazing to say, is special.
I’ve only watched it once, so far, but a couple things jumped out at me.
You’re right, variations on a theme. Just coming up with the arrangement was a major feat in itself.
And the second thing I’m still thinking about was near the end.
He’s holding a barre chord with his left hand, then plays harmonics with the finger picks and his index finger with his right hand.
And the way harmonics sound, it kind of gives you an ethereal sound, that’s appropriate to the song, like Glinda is going to touch down any moment.
Tommy gets his money’s worth out of his guitar.

Welcome Alex. I discovered them a while back myself, then joined the club recently too.
I’ve been smiling a lot more ever since. Enjoy the club.

Agreed.
They are running a startup company, with all the risks that entails. They have a plan. I don’t know what their plan is, but whatever it is, I support it.

They also say people are taller in the morning than the evening, by maybe 2/3 cm.
You’re lucky with those shoes. I need a full size larger shoe than I used to. My niece got married last June and the only pair of black dress shoes I had were the old, smaller size.
My niece has a younger sister — I might have to do that again soon.

I hope you guys, and everyone else, are okay out there. Been a smoky year for sure.
I check the air quality at airnow.gov almost every day.
Be careful what you wish for though; Hilary is the first tropical storm warning ever issued for southern California, and it is coming your way. A storm like that might dump on you in a big way.
Good luck.

Speaking of variations on a theme. I see a couple guys play Over the Rainbow, and of course YT wants to show me more.
Yes, those dates in the title mean it’s 4 versions of OTR. It’s not that he played it differently over the years, he played it different every single time. I saw a good piece on YT the other day with Andre Previn and Oscar Peterson. Oscar told a story about how if you plan out your improvisations in advance, that it’s not really honest. Lol.

I don’t think it’s by accident that Beck’s playing sounds like a Theremin.
When Beck gave up using a pick years ago, and always had the whammy bar in his hand, he had such incredible control of pitch. The whammy bar never leaves his hand. His pitch control was so much better than anybody else that I know of.
A Theremin is very sensitive to pitch changes as well. It seems hard to control.

Jürgen,
I subscribe to a free service from Bookbub.com that vets and recommends cheap ebooks on subjects you specify.
Yesterday it recommended the book below on the golden ratio.
Seeing that yesterday was the first time I’d heard of the golden ratio. But then I usually guess at answers instead of doing the math…

What kind of DAW do you have? Are you happy with it? I’ve just got an old one and thinking about a new one. Not looking very hard; I’m at the “think about it” stage.
I saw the Twins use Cubase the other day. Don’t remember where I saw that.

In the video, you don’t see the power supply it plugs into. If you were thinking about throwing one of these together, here’s a description of how it works under the hood.
Maybe you could get electrocuted by it, it’s grounded. Careful what else you’re holding onto while playing it.

Yes, slot machine is a good description. It has kind of a mechanical sound to it. Not that much like an organ.
And in the video he said it would cost $600-800.
$600 in 1967 would be $5,413 in current dollars according to this inflation calculator.
