@mona I listen to that a lot. Right up my alley, as they say. Great version.
I really love this live backyard medley (including Can't You See). The guitarist is exceptional. At least four different songs in the medley.
I have heard the name Ry Cooder for decades and never could put a song to the name before. Reminds me of The Band, The Grateful Dead, JJ Cale and maybe even John Hiatt (a little). I like it!
@Mona That is the soundtrack to my early youth. I was abo…
If the Dotcom or Telecom bubbles are any lesson, FOMO can produce bubble formation. The lesson may be to continually take profits and not get caught all-in when the bubble bursts. IMO, this is shaping up to be very lucrative and might be a bubble th…
Yep, don't click on links. Go directly to the website from a valid web address that you have used before. Do not be surprised when they fail to take immediate action on the basis of your phone contact. This is to protect your account. A fraudster co…
Concur. RWL is another possibility that focus on the company’s revenue. It has 9.4% exposure to tech sector versus the 31% of that in S&P500 index.
RWL, SPGP, and SPHQ are now in the red for four weeks. It's tech, or nothing, in the U.S. ma…
Watch the movement of the dollar index. Its movement itself contributes considerable for unhedged foreign funds/ETFs. US dollar lost over 11% since December 2024 that benefits oversea investment. The dollar index has flattened since September. Marke…
I was looking at our taxable accounts, and noticing the returns on our various tech-sector funds, and so I asked myself, why even buy the S&P 500 these days--not that I am actually in the market for adding much of anything to the taxable at this…
Back on topic, after the usual disruption. Of course, controlling one's emotions is very important to investing. And we all need a reminder now again.
This bull will run its course, despite the many efforts to derail it. We will get lower rates fr…
MikeW: @FD1000. I find your bullying annd condescending attitude to really be a detriment to this board. I don’t post often but couldn’t let your ignorant and insensitive comment pass.
The above comment violates the site’s rules.

It is important to note here that when confronted with unacceptable behavior, the first move is to try and censor people's posts. Typical. Seen it from him many, many times. And it is an attempt to distract from his own repetitively insulting behavi…
Who has heard of The Highwoman? A play on "The Highwayman", who need no explanation. They are comprised of Brandy Carlisle, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris and Amanda Shires. And backed by Jason Isbell, Amanda's husband, and a an awesome musician in his…
@Mona. Nice! Had not heard of them before. Sexy.
@Hank I have a set of the Sony NC headphones too. For flying and yard work. They are the 900's though. Then I bought a pair of Bose 700, cuz everyone said they were the best. Honestly, I can't tell t…
@catch22 Thanks, I will check that out for sure!
Edit: The Tina Turner concert is excellent! Her energy and presence, plus the choreography and music are phenomenal. Thanks again!
@crash
Ignore injustice, masked gov't Gestapo violence, the ethically rudderless Fuhrer, etc.
These are the very reasons why I think the US's time as a global leader is limited. We have destroyed any credibility we had with the rest of the world …
@MikeW @sma3. Excellent posts from people who don't just "get it", but live it!
The fellow that you are responding to is so lost in his own BS, he will never internalize anything that you say/post.
We all know that they are people that can be des…
My current "home theater" set up is a Denon S970H with Polk speakers. 4x 5.25 mids, 2x 6.5 mids, 5x tweeters and a sub. All carefully placed. I run a W11 PC to connect to the internet and stream concerts from Youtube, or my hard drives. All into a 6…
LOL - I spent a few drives trying to find a rattle in my car. It turns out that when the wife exits, the buckle gets turned the wrong way every time! interior car noises are sometimes very hard to locate. There is probably a meme somewhere of a frus…
The Weight featuring Ringo Starr and Robbie Robertson.

Many Playing For Change cover songs are really good.
I need to exercize caution to avoid going down a rabbit…
Ok, so this is what I consider both amazing and weird. I was wondering if the Scott brand of HiFi equipment was a Musicraft "house brand" (It was not). So I posted an internet search of that question. In about 3 seconds I got an AI response which in…
@Hank I too, have done a few car radio upgrades. I'd say that my generation was the one that kicked the whole thing off. We would put early Pioneer Supertuners and Jensen co-axials and Craig amps in our 1960's beaters, this was in the early 1970's. …
Two thoughts:
1. It has been suggested that trump is very worried about his mortality, as such doesn't care about outcomes (he will be dead). And maybe thinks that this is a form of legacy. It is. Just not a good one.
2. MAGA freaks out over the …
@crash Yes, that is why I chose to share several of them. Have you seen these before?
The inclusion of original artists, young performers, and many cultures (and their instruments) in the songs is just amazing.
Great choice, BTW. Both of them. I…
@Crash. I only just realized how much Chris Isaak channelled Roy Orbison's rock-a-billy style.
And I do love an Irish tune with lots of fiddle work. Thanks.
Woody Guthrie Old Man Trump
Woody Guthrie's "Old Man Trump" is a powerful critique of Fred Trump's racist housing practices and discriminatory policies.
Hopeful video
because these do not usually go well for me.
@Mark I'd forgotten about this. Th…
I like a wide variety of music — rock, jazz, pop, blues, folk, reggae —
and often listen to the various Daily Mixes that Spotify makes for me.
Songs from the following artists/albums were listened to recently.
Cannonball Adderley, Something Else

@DrVenture 'Wicked Game'............back in the day when the production folks offered some very good music videos on MTV, the original video fully provides for the essence of the lyric.
@Mark Thank you for the Woody Guthrie link. I need to pass t…
We tend to mostly listen to jazz (various types) and classical. We have over 2000 hours of music on old Mac G5s, and can choose from a very wide music list of various sub-types. It's a nice setup because the older versions of itunes can be configure…
