I make jewelry and try to read everything on the US Civil War and Reconstruction that comes out, (thereby knowing many smart people.) I know a bit of law, care about Beatles historiography and love the Nagras. Jane Austen whispered her Emma secrets to me across many miles and 200 years. ✨ My father was Bill Sargent, the Pay Per View Beatles guy. #DYRBRY
“Paper Planes” (A.K.A. Only M.I.A. could make “Some some some I some I murder. Some I some I let go” completely adorable.)
“SOME SOME SOME I SOME I MURDER.” “SOME I SOME I LET GO.” “SOME SOME SOME I SOME I MURDER” “SOME I SOME I LET GO.” I’m not shitting you. It is somehow adorable. Don’t believe me? I start it right there. Watch those four lines and tell me it’s not cute. “Sometimes I…
Violin: Orange Blossom Challenge
This wasn’t Paganini and his muse, Satan.
This was just plain old Satan.
No intercessor. No interpreter.

Violin Frankenstein: IT’S ALIVE!

Let’s Do It This Way (“DON’T” for non-dancers)
A completely unnecessary – but quick version of my first unnecessary “DON’T” dance post. In looking at this from as close to a 3rd-person Point of View -[POV] – I realized how much this, to a non-dancer, probably seems like something just slightly more impressive than mime; while https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/lp-EO5I60KA“>”Thinking Out Loud,” definitely an amazing dance…
Finally tackling the damn “DON’T” dance
Not so fucking easy and with the nerve damage there’s a bunch I have to change up; god, I realize now how deceptively easy it looks, but it is not. So, yeah, I need some kind of challenge to make me work. And Beyoncé isn’t doing it anymore and isn’t practical. (follow up quickie non-dancer aside)
