Lagopus (Ptarmigan): Hey Open Band and All, let's come to play like this - Glasgow's The Kinnaris Quintet, musicians & VIDs - at St. Clements in Berkeley, and when the Covid-19 pandemic memes (replicating cultural units, - in the internet media) are brought under control? * Angela & Victor blog label (in daily blog) ~ https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Angela%20and%20Victor%20yoga ~ Scott ~ Hippy Anjali Yoga Notations ! http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html (from a few years' ago) * * * Thanks for a happening Pittsburgh-centric Burns' Nicht Zoom call yesterday, Ken (and Nick)! * * * Congratulations on completing your PhD experiment ~ And might you even be interested in taking a 4-week Yoga course beginning next Sunday, with Angela Farmer (who's English), and Victor Van Kooten (who's Dutch), and streaming live from Greece on the isle of Lesvos, or Athens (I think)? ~ I'd love too to come into conversation - science riffing-wise even - about aging reversal via genetic engineering, and regarding the Harvard and MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church's lead, and thinking in these regards, see too the longevity label ~ HEY!!! Are you still out there?


Merry, merry & Happy, happy ~

Hey Open Band and All, let's come to play like this, at St. Clements in Berkeley, and when the Covid-19 pandemic memes (replicating cultural units, - in the internet media) are brought under control?



Pibroching the blues

Have begun exploring 'Pibroching the blues here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/tigridia-pavonia.html - and recently in blog too a bit, and found these two stellar and unique examples, far from what I have in mind or am exploring ... You can hear the Piobaireachd lyricism I'll call this in these, and creatively ...  

Bruce Cockburn - Pibroch: the wind in the valley
(just saw he's affiliated with the Unitarian Canadian service committee too)

and very differently, and brilliantly rock and and roll-wise 
Jethro Tull - Pibroch (Cap in Hand) - Black Satin Lady (1982 - Italy)



Am glad too to be beginning to take keyboard lessons with Patti Cobb next week, and potentially even for exploring writing music for two (2) Scottish small pipers' jamming together blues-wise with something like the Allman Bros in 1973 (at least this is the exploration I'm interested in ... ) ... and with 3 chanters, - in A, B flat, D mixolydian with only 9 note scales ...  and especially with exploring with Patti writing some of this down on sheet music for conceiving it well. This would be in addition to paying JS Bach Inventions, Scottish Country Dance music sheet music more fluently than just base lines, and regarding a Blues' piano book I have too.  And with all of you too? Like Kinnaris? 

... and I may even begin to envision a 3rd "Pibroching the Blues" (with the Allman Bros. in the 1970s - https://youtu.be/DNAmXz8kc6I ) album ... .and with lessons with Ian Whitelaw too..  since couldn't classical bagpipe music (Piobaireachd) be conceived of as a way of Scots singing and playing the blues? (In a big way, yes, but with much potential for idiom-conversations' creativity)... not sure about a rhythm and blues drummer to help focus this further :) ... lots of Blues' in Scotland too :( :)

Glad WUaS has 4 possible graduate student candidates for free-to-students' online PhDs beginning in the autumn 2021 (taking 7 years?), 2 from India, 1 Morocco, and 1 in Indonesia potentially interested :) ... Music school in the future ... for all instruments, each a wiki subject page for open teaching and learning, in ALL 7117 known living languages, of which you'll find the beginnings in English here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Music_School .

And regarding do-it-yourself teaching, and an inspiring MIT Professor Andrew Lo ...

here's the Neha Narula, the director of the MIT Digital Currency Initiative - DCI (& re WUaS's plans for facilitating a single digital currency in 200 countries, 7117 living languages and for 7.8 billion people each a Wikidata Q-item # via UBI experiments )

"This is Amazing"
https://twitter.com/neha/status/1353848217557999616?s=19
About
MIT prof Andrew W Lo's
Health Care Finance during Covid19
https://youtu.be/hmGV_c-kriU

Which was my father's academic field in Public Health ...

Andrew Lo's very clear videos on how to teach online during the Covid-19 pandemic +: 
"Pls see my videos on my home studio for online teaching https://t.co/pjJguPnu2j and how I used it to teach healthcare finance in Fall 2020 https://t.co/rBERMtYz4S. Contains ideas for how to go beyond talking-head/Zoom livestream format using OBS and other tools from gamers."

https://twitter.com/AndrewWLo/status/1351273631356219392?s=19

It's very helpful and thoughtful Do It Yourself DIY information about how to teach online ...
So, WUaS WIKI-WISE I (or Andrew or someone else could) might add this video to wiki WUaS here -

Ones to watch in 2019: The Kinnaris Quintet, musicians
Imagine, on a table, in a house in Glasgow, a capacious cooking pot, into which women are tossing potent ingredients '“ not foodstuffs but music styles, Irish reels, bluegrass, Highland pipe marches, Nordic fusion '¦ We're not talking Macbeth's 'weird sisters' here, brewing toil and trouble, but the five women of the Kinnaris Quintet, a powerfully string-driven ensemble which hit the ground running with their enthusiastically greeted debut album in September and are due to share a high-profile bill with Shooglenifty at Glasgow's Barrowlands during Celtic Connections later this month.



Glaswegian act Kinnaris Quartet hope to get Selkirk folk club’s autumn season off to flying start
Kinnaris are, in south-east Asia, mythical bird-woman hybrids renowned for their singing, and Glasgow’s Kinnaris Quintet, though lacking any avian characteristics, have also been acclaimed for their way with a tune.




The Band

Bursting relatively recently on to the folk music scene and creating quite an impression, Kinnaris Quintet are a talented band of vigorous, driving, high-spirited musicians.

Pittsburgh-centric Burns' Nicht Zoom call 


Hi Ken, Nick, Ma, :)

Thanks for a happening Pittsburgh-centric Burns' Nicht Zoom call yesterday, Ken (and Nick)!

Funny thing: attend a Burns' Night, and all of a sudden a friend from Shady Side Academy high school, Henry Cutter in NYC (whose sister Elizabeth is a psychoanalyst there too), emails me and 2 other high school friends, Greg Highlands, and Nancy Gormley-Bevilaqua and we all start connecting in writing, and explore meeting in Zoom too. 

Henry mentions he's taking Youtube Yoga classes with Adrienne, enjoying them, and he's planning to continue with them, too. I mentioned in reply that Angela Farmer and Victor Van Kooten's upcoming 4 week live Yoga course at 8am Pacific Time on Sundays, streaming from Greece, begins next Sunday - Super Bowl Sunday - (and with one on Thursday too) :) 

So hearing about their families leads me to explore further connecting with CS (with Scots' heritage, with a name like that?), a University of Southampton PhD student in biology, and who's just finishing up, and whom I emailed to congratulate on finishing an experiment in October of 2019.  

"(Still seeking to begin a family here - avec la Charlotte? - https://twitter.com/C_M_Stuart/status/1355953327046012930?s=20 - who is just finishing her PhD at the Uni of Southampton in Biology related field, with a Greek PhD advisor too, I think ... and whom I met on the most interesting social media for me, Twitter. I emailed her to congratulate her for finishing an experiment in October of 2019, but haven't heard back in email :)

I ask of Henry, and Nancy and Greg: 

"What do you think of this aging reversal via genetic engineering being in reach thinking, per George Church, for example, and, one among thousands, this Pittsburgh genetics' firm too, in Happy New Year 2021 letter - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/twinpods-123120-see-122320-too-seasons.html ? (Glad to have published my 5th book on 1/1/21, 4th of poetry, and my first Scottish small pipes album, in December 2020 too!)

Will we all be talking together when we're 125 years' old, - and even in 30 yo bodies???? :))) Pretty wild language from George Church, Harvard and MIT Professor of Genetics, and an old hippy in many ways; he's really creative:)"


So Ken and Nick thank you for the great Burns' Night virtual supper and connecting Pittsburgh with Glasgow with other Scottish locales:) And will we be celebrating Burns' Nicht together virtually 400 years from now and in a free Scotland even? :)

Great to 'meet' your Mom, too, Ken and Nick!

As aye, 
Scott

Hi Ken, Nick, All, :)

Just shared these with Ken, Nick and ma mere in Pittsburgh :) 

Robbie Burns' time over ... 

Chrome browser is newly flickering still, but neither Zoom nor Skype are ... (but after rebooting, no more flicker in Chrome or Opera!:)

Good to see Nick Thompson, host Ken's brother in particular ...

Congratulations on completing your PhD experiment


Scott MacLeod sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org

2:38 PM (7 hours ago)
to C.Stuart, I.Galea
Dear Charlotte, 

Congratulations on your upcoming PhD it seems too! (I thought you might have already received it, but when I looked at your Twitter feed, I didn't see this - have you completed your PhD?)

I'm following up with this further congratulations email, after emailing you in October 2019 - and hope you're doing well. How are you doing? 

Any chance you might find your way to the USA on the west coast when you're done, and when the Covid-19 pandemic memes are brought under control? And might you even be interested in taking a 4-week Yoga course beginning next Sunday, with Angela Farmer (who's English), and Victor Van Kooten (who's Dutch), and streaming live from Greece on the isle of Lesvos, or Athens (I think)? 

And I'd love too to come into conversation - science riffing-wise even - about aging reversal via genetic engineering, and regarding the Harvard and MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church's lead, and thinking in these regards, see too the longevity label in my blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/longevity. In what ways will further aging reversal research develop in a single realistic virtual earth and in particular in a realistic virtual earth for genetics (at the cellular and molecular levels too) - https://twitter.com/search?q=%23RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics&src=typed_query with an interesting Street View England genetics and geneaology picture here - https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand/status/1235357771744169985?s=20 -  https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForEvolution?src=hashtag_click - and for brain science too (which may be closely related to your PhD work) -  https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForBrainScience?src=hashtag_click (and a realistic virtual earth for anthropology and ethnography too! - some of my areas) - which big ideas I'm still exploring developing at CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, planned in Greek too:)?

Sincerely, Scott

HEY!!! Are you still out there?

Henry Cutter

10:35 AM (11 hours ago)
to Scott, Greg, Nancy, me
Hi.

Hope all is well. I hear from Scott fairly often via the news from World University and School, but nothing from Nancy and Greg. I guess what you give is what you get; I too have been silent. We are all fine here in Covid-19 hibernation. The big activities today are deleting old email and paying bills, so it sounds awful, but I am actually doing fine. I just (21 days ago) started a thing called 30 Days of Yoga With Adriene, via YouTube. It is little 25-minute classes that I really enjoy, especially because I find myself stuck at my desk so much, and not even having the routine of walking to the subway to go to work, and then back to the subway to come home from work. I can see myself continuing with this. I have also been studying Italian for a few years now and am looking forward ot maybe being able to get over there later in the year, or maybe in 2022. I have started Arabic as well, but I have a loooooooooooong way to go. So far I am just doing Duolingo and learning the letters. 

I notice below that you are playing guitar, Nancy. Is that continuing? Greg, how is the painting and the music? 

Anyone feel like a Zoom call?

Lots of love,

Henry

Cool, Greg, (and Nancy and Henry),

Appreciating your music, the musical vision you and Neil Young share, and even how close his Winnipeg is to Duluth, and your neck of the woods. 

Thanks for the links and your emails, and nice to hear from you as well.

(Blogging up a storm here daily for more then 10 years e.g. http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/music - and re wiki MIT OCW-centric World University and School, and an actual / virtual Harbin Hot Springs for ethnographic comparison). 

Cheers, Scott

Hi Nancy, Henry and Scott,
Great to hear from you all. Thanks for the links…. Glad that the kids are moving on out into the world. My two are doing great. Rhyland is teaching in Boston, and Nigel is doing music in Minneapolis.
I my self am still just an old itinerant folk and blues guy, living here in the woods of Wisconsin. I play weekends in Duluth, and here are some links of some stuff. All the best, Love Ya...

Hi, Scott (hard not to call you "Scottie") (and Henry and Greg)!

Thanks so much for this. I started learning to play guitar last April (a mere 40 years or so after my last lesson :) ), so I've been re-discovering a lot of old stuff, including Neil (also Peter Green a LOT, and older Pink Floyd). I have a long way to go, but I'm really enjoying it, as music seems to be one of the few things that consistently makes sense and means something to me.

I'm living in Hoboken again after seven long years in Floriduh (my mother died last summer after a short bout with cancer and a long time with a lot of pain and other issues). My son is a REAL musician who will be transferring to Berklee in Boston next fall. Life is weirdly good.

I hope you're all doing well too!

Love, 

Nancy

Zoom call would be great, Henry, Nancy, Greg! Thanks so so much for emailing - still out here☺️and in-world too. (Angela & Victor just started offering a Sunday morning Yoga class at 8am PT - but I didn't do it this week. They're in Greece right now - and amazing). When shall we connect in Zoom? Thanks for digging up Greg's old emails :) 

Scotty
Happy New Year to you!

Hi you guys! Henry, I've been meaning to get in touch now that I'm back out of hell (FL) and in Hoboken. How are Victoria, Louis, and Alice? I'm still thinking of them as little kids! I actually learned quite a bit of Arabic years ago (Egyptian boyfriend and a class at the New School.) It's actually pretty easy to learn, oddly, and I love the beauty of the script.
Greg, I've been thinking of you too. I just came across a musician (and his album) that SO reminded me of you ("Out Passed Nowhere," by Oliver Tompkins).
And Scott, it seems that you were prescient with World University! I'm glad you're still carrying on with it!
We're doing well. Sandro has been living with me since March, taking his Berklee classes online. He's majoring in Composition and Film-scoring, and he's been working on his first EP. It's really nice to have him here, although a 22-year-old man SHOULD be out in the world with his peers (and a girlfriend)! Covid kinda sucks.
Lorenzo and I are separated, but remain best friends, and he just lives a few blocks away, so we see him a lot..
I'm occasionally writing poems again; if you google me you can find some of my published stuff.
Believe it or not, I have yet to do a Zoom call, and would probably get confused 🤪. Are any of you on Instagram? It's the only social media I don't despise. I'm at @bevilaquanancy, if anyone else uses it.
Anyway, great to hear from y'all!

Love,
Nancy

Henry, Nancy, Greg,  

So nice to hear from you!

Nancy, what are you writing these days? And great to hear about Sandro (and Lorenzo too)! And Henry, how are your sisters Elizabeth and Margaret as well? And Greg, how are Rhyland in Boston, and Nigel in Minneapolis doing (and Delbert and Betty, and Paul)? (Still seeking to begin a family here - avec la Charlotte? - https://twitter.com/C_M_Stuart/status/1355953327046012930?s=20 - who just finished here PhD at the Uni of Southhampton in Biology related field, with a Greek advisor too, I think ... and whom I met on the most interesting social media for me, Twitter? I emailed her to congratulate her for finishing an experiment in October of 2019, but haven't heard back in email :)

What do you think of this aging reversal via genetic engineering being in reach thinking, per George Church, for example, and, one among thousands, this Pittsburgh genetics' firm too, in Happy New Year 2021 letter - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/twinpods-123120-see-122320-too-seasons.html ? (Glad to have published my 5th book on 1/1/21, 4th of poetry, and my first Scottish small pipes album, in December 2020 too!)

Will we all be talking together when we're 400 years' old, - and even in 30 yo bodies???? :))) Pretty wild language from George Church, Harvard and MIT Professor of Genetics, and an old hippy in many ways; he's really creative:)

Nancy, if not Zoom, could you and Sandro together, join a Google Meet video conference meeting, or in Skype, - and perhaps you, Greg (Nigel too) and Sandro could all make music together? I've read that real real time music making may be possible now with a FM radio add on - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/tree-swallow.html (see this UU choir, and another choir:) - but am not sure if this is viable or not, - and across oceans even??? To be seen.  

Fond regards, Scott
WUaS is growing and am hoping our 4 possible PhD students will be able to apply for WUaS PhDs first in English through MIT departments themselves :) !

Might any of you be interested in a PhD, for the long haul :)?
