I often post #ReadingNotes shared while reading, and may be long, multi-part, and/or out-of-context. Also regularly post poems or poetry excerpts using #TodaysPoem. Other posts are primarily about music, food, and gardening.

Feeling very complain-y but don't want to be complain-y out loud, so instead I'll celebrate that I picked up the guitar for the first time in MONTHS tonight.
Felt good!
I remembered I'd grabbed some slack key materials a while back that I never spent time with, so I pulled those out and messed with them for a while.
Now to try and do it again tomorrow.

I have heard more versions of "Honolulu City Lights" than I can count, but this one surprised me in a good way!

They have a version of "Island Style," too. Their thing is emo/punk takes on island classics.
It works!

New duo record of Linda May Han Oh and Melissa Aldana out in August:
"Beneath Lifted Skies"

Duo settings can be a tough sell for me, but this one interests me. (Also reminding me that I need to listen to that Mary Halvorson and Ambrose Akinmusire release again soon.)

New Meshell Ndegeocello alert!
https://www.bluenote.com/meshell-ndegeocello-announces-new-album-synonym/
It's a cover album -- this is Meshell's 3rd by my count, including her amazing Nina Simone tribute -- but her first with an enormous list of collaborators from all over the musical map.
Seriously: this many collabs would make me give the side-eye to others but it's Meshell. It will be great.
(Plus, two Roberta Flack/Donny Hathaway tunes on the tracklist? (Be Real Black for Me, Closer I Get...) Come on, we're golden)

Have to head inside for a few hours due to heat and air quality. I am *so close* to getting some larger garden tasks done but everyday they are still a bit further away.
Will go back out tonight for some bean, squash, and cucumber picking. Pick the projects back up tomorrow... 🙄
