I may have some overlap of issues that I’m seeing with what’s posted above.
I have 3 issues with the site to report, please.

I no longer get Notifications for Upvotes. It had been working previously on the web, but, for example, I got 2 Upvotes in the last week for a comment I made regarding the Alone video, but they don’t show in Notifications. I don’t think I’ve had any Notifs for Upvotes at all for at least a month. Although I’ve seen Notifs for Upvotes before on the web, there are none showing now, not in Read or Unread. The only Notifs I see now are for Replies that have been Read. I also just checked my email, and it doesn’t look like I’ve ever received Upvote Notifs via email. I do see some errors in Dev Tools; see screenshots below.
-
When I click on the bell icon to look at Notifications, there is no Settings button showing on the page, for either Read or Unread. I have tried this with all browsers that I have, Chrome, Brave, Firefox,and Edge on Windows, and on Android I checked Chrome, and the issue is the same for all of them. I am able to see Notifications settings by clicking on my Name > Account Settings > Notifications Settings, and all those boxes for both Web and Email are checked. I see OneSignalSDKWorker.js blocked when I look at Dev Tools.
-
I am not able to start a Discussion thread. When I click on the New Discussion button, the screen greys out. If I can provide any more information, please let me know. Thanks for your help.

Happy Birthday Mona and Lisa!
I had a lot of different ideas of what to say, or maybe even send,
but it comes down to wishing everything good for you.Health, success, whatever makes you happy,
That’s what I pray for, for you and yours, now and forever.
Thinking of you smiling makes me smile,
you make me happy, and for that I thank you.
Enjoy your day, and many more.
All the best.

Interesting. I’ve always really liked that song and both Queen and Bowie too of course. It’s very good.
It looks like they built this up a track at a time in separate places?
I’m not sure how you could do it all playing together that far away; you’d have latency issues. You know, how would you sync it together?
I have no idea what that little 2 octave keyboard is atop the piano. (?) And it sounds like the patch from it changes, not sure how he’s controlling that either.

Jacki,
One reason the weather got a little cooler is all the sunlight getting reflected back into space off the smoke particles.
In the future some aliens looking at earth might wonder why it shown a little brighter for a while.
When we were driving into New York city around 11:30 this morning I took this pic of the skyline. Yes, it’s there, you just have to expand the photo until it’s really big and you can see the shadowy skyscrapers.

I drove from Detroit area to north of NYC for my niece’s wedding at Lyndhurst Mansion on Friday, wore my N95 mask most of the way, and still have a sore throat. Feels like I smoked 2 packs a day. Going into the city for lunch today, so we’ll see how that goes.
Glad everyone’s ok

Another Detroit musician.
Unfortunately she had to go abroad to get the attention due her, but her hometown still remembers her.

thanks, and then I decided it was too dark so I deleted it. Hope everyone’s doing ok today.
-
Okay, thanks for the headsup.

Yep. That’s how a couple other musicians I know of do some of their sessions too. Get it right in the studio first, and then make it look good.
He really does sound like Freddy in some of that.

Steve,
I do remember Sparks. There’s a creative band. Haven’t heard of them in a long time though.
And there have been other American bands that found some of their best success offshore too.
I’ve lived my whole life in areas on the midwestern blues trail, so I remember Luther Allison who went for 20 or so years to live in Paris after being underappreciated here. He eventually came back and I saw him again before he passed, playing with his son Bernard’s band. I still have a t-shirt from him around here somewhere.

Jung,
I’ve thought for some time that Mona and Lisa can accomplish anything they set their minds to, and I certainly agree Theremin falls in the category of “anything”.
With regard to Good Vibrations, I see now that it was not a traditional theremin. The co-inventor of the Electro-Theremin, Paul Tanner, who played on the song, had been a trombonist in the Glen Miller Orchestra. The passage below was excerpted from a piece published just after Tanner passed away in 2013:
“The signature theremin sound in ‘Good Vibrations’ was produced not by a traditional theremin but by an invention created in the late 1950s by big band trombonist Paul Tanner and actor Bob Whitsell. They called it the Electro-Theremin. It created a sound similar to the theremin, but was easier to play. Instead of passing your hands over two antennae (which required a lot of practice to get right), you would mechanically control an audio oscillator. A simpler process, but far less beguiling to watch than the traditional method of playing the theremin…In addition to ‘Good Vibrations,’ Tanner played his Electro-Theremin on The Beach Boys’ ‘I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times’ and ‘Wild Honey,’ as well as on the soundtracks of movies and TV shows ‘My Favorite Martian’. He also recorded two albums of Electro-Theremin music: ‘Music from Heavenly Bodies’ and ‘Music from Outer Space’.
Tanner’s proto-type was the only authentic Electro-Theremin ever made. He didn’t see much of a future for his instrument. He correctly read the writing on the wall: synthesizers. Therevox created a variation on Tanner’s invention that worked using the same basic principals.”
They also mention that the Moog ribbon controller was developed for the Beach Boys for the sole purpose of simulating the sound of Tanner’s invention.

Long ago I had heard of a Theremin, and then I learned more about it when it was discussed here in the Club not long ago.
But I hadn’t yet realized that that singular sound in Good Vibrations was a Theremin. Interesting that it was played by its creator. But then if I remember correctly, it’s kind of a challenge to learn how to play.

Tomás, as you say, at 20 seconds in, that’s definitely a Minimoog. You can see the Moog label in the lower right, and the layout is unmistakeable anyway.
The second board at 3:33 is a Clavinet. What’s underneath it I’m not sure, could be a Hammond but I only see one manual, B-3s have 2. Hard to tell, like you say, but really, what else could it be? It’s big, looks like draw bars, 400# keyboards do tend to get put on the bottom of the stack, and we know this band had a Hammond 2 years later because the video I posted shows it clearly.
And I suppose if there’s still any doubt, we could probably tell by seeing if anything sounds like a Hammond. 🙂
