Thanks to the SD, I became aware of them from this thread and got a chance to see them live a couple weeks ago here in Chicago. Great fun! (And my first concert since 2019!) Full album drops in a few weeks. ---

Good God.

A few nights ago got an IG alert that May Erlewine started a live video so I tuned in. She’s a singer songwriter from Michigan just released a new album and was recovering from a bad cold where she lost her voice. Wednesday night she felt better and sang a few tunes and took requests. It was a rainy night you could hear it hitting the windows, so cozy inside listening to a private concert and her voice sounded amazing! Her song Easy is happily occupying my brain.

This thread has generated more earworms than anything else … Now I’ll have the entire “King of the Road” song stuck in my head for days, with another dozen all at the same time… > [@August\_West](#): > > Friends forever! > Skog and Mice! Ohhh, great! That reminded me of the theme to Peg + Cat (sung “Peg plus Cat”), an artsy “kids’ show” that I just happened on …once! …years ago! So now that’s running through my head… (at least it’s impossible to be sad now).

^ Wow, I’d forgotten all about that! Haw-haw, indeed. Thanks for posting that! I came across this a few days ago and am still greatly impressed after multiple viewings. Notice that his right-hand nails are very long and his tone is nonetheless perfectly warm and clean. Some of the best playing I’ve ever seen/heard: ETA: Composition by Django Reinhardt, interpreted by Salvatore Fortunato. Because they deserve credit and they have cool names.
