Every day for several decades and now every Sunday, Trudeau, the Balzac of comics, has always tracked, with his Doonesbury strip, what the rest of us had to live through: today our zoombie screen disorientation. pic.twitter.com/BcoBQLGhkm

WUaS News and Q&A 2/8/21 (2021-02-08 at 10:00 GMT-8)

Dear Fritz and Anthony, and Universitians:

Thanks for joining the open WUaS News and Q&A, Fritz, (from Munich, Germany), and thanks for emailing afterward just now, Anthony (and for joining this open conversation a couple of times recently):

"My apologies Scott for not being able to make it this evening.

With best wishes

Yours Anthony"

Here's the video from today - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B1Sfa6XVcrXvqfATZaebQjKcMgSCeW2t/view - and a related blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/02/bottle-tree.html ... Fritz is standing in his bathroom, I think ... and much about a realistic virtual Universe for space exploration, as well as a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs (my actual-virtual Ethnographic field site). Some too in the blog entry about the 'rad' 1970s, and online connecting and music making :)

Sincerely,

Scott

High School Friends from Shady Side Academy in the 1970s in Pittsburgh, PA, the radical Allman Bros with Jerry Garcia in '73 at Cow Palace in SF

Hey Greg, Henry, Nancy, you g _ _ s,

so great to see you last night, Henry and Greg - and thanks for joining us. Nancy, I thought I caught a hint of you behind Greg's curtain ... (in his virtual music studio :)

Thanks so much for organizing and hosting this too Henry!

Am pretty much into caffeine and music these days as my 'uppers' ... and they're nice ... green tea, coffee, and Allman Bros ' 73 -

AAA

https://youtu.be/DNAmXz8kc6I - and the Dead - https://archive.org/search.php?query=Grateful%20Dead%201977 - and some Blues ... You? Seeking to head newly in the direction of the Blues with Scottish Small Pipes' 3 chanters - A mixolydian, D mixolydian and B flat mix (flatted 7th note) ... See, below "So, I return to Ma ... and Marsalis ... :)

Am wondering too for real-real time music-making across the country about patching in telephone signals with group video. We could even do 2 separate interweaving group videos at the same time (like 2 rooms at a party) ... with Greg inviting people to his Zoom pro video conferencing, and then I on my smartphone could potentially invite another group of you in Google Meet video conference (I think) which I haven't tried yet.

Here's the great French sociologist, philosopher Bruno Latour with a recent Doonesbury cartoon -

https://twitter.com/BrunoLatourAIME/status/1358371084014346240?s=20 - by Gary Trudeau which he started drawing as a student at Yale in the late196os - "the throes of '60s and '70s counterculture,"^[1] ... Henry, Trudeau is a New Yorker too ... have you run into him? Are we all Zoombies, or Zombies ? or ... ?

Greg, when I go to Duluth MN in Google Maps - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Duluth,+MN/@46.7646466,-92.3910849,10z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x52ae527e782e37ff:0x90fdbf76eb580c72!8m2!3d46.7866719!4d-92.1004852 - and zoom out, what town do you live close to? Is the Hiawatha National Forest one of your 'field sites'? :)

Great especially to connect with Pittsburgh friendliness - civility even?:) - (from the 'rad' 1970s as teenagers ?:))

So,

I return to Ma ... and Marsalis ... their guidelines for playing music ... http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm ... (and could this lead too to jamming with the Allman Bros in 1973 on bagpipe? .... or to Glaswegian Kinnaris Quintet, verging on Scottish traditional chamber music, even?)

So, as I wrote to my Ma last night ...

I played bagpipes and piano last night

.. Scottish Country Dancing sheet music (ear candy) was most enjoyable to play and hear :) ... and in retrospect I could have piped more slowly and relaxedly (playing some jigs and hornpipes) ... and am seeking to chart out some new goals eg for albums 2, 3, & 4 (Piobaireachd, Light Music, 'Pibroching the Blues' with Allman Bros '73 +)

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/02/yukon.html ... and even - way out of the box - to eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology or brain chemistry naturally - with music - and explicitly with consciousness :) ... and here's a kind of riff with the above on this - http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingLovingBlissvavMusicalInstrument.htm -
