Dear Bruce, All, 

Yes, and ... Breakthrough, Bruce? - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/04/magnolia.html?m=0 and with Taylor - is this like moonwalking, but needs further iterations, and without need of a vaccine ... would wear masks in SCD phone(for transmission speed)-video conference too (& tie dye for extra protection as the coronavirus genes with intense testing seem to disappear around the world :)  ... And this can include people from anywhere music-making-wise esp.  September (possibly before)? ... it would help if St. Clement's hall were open, re comfort of getting in - and people there :) 

I may invite PM Stuart Liddell, who really likes Scottish Bands, and band music, I've read (and his Inveraray District and Pipe Band won the Worlds in Glasgow for the first time!), ... to share his thoughts (and with sheet music? - since his mother played in a ceilidh pipe band called 'The Fine Folks" too!) about Open Band potentially .... and if not his physical presence, (since it would be in the wee hours for him) from Argyllshire, Scotland, his thinking, conversation and ideas, - and perhaps his virtual distributed thinking esp ... Am planning to take some Topicals with him, and would ask about his thoughts about new possible focuses for Open Band! 

Cheers, 

Scott

Would or could be cool to get into some Wake the Dead (http://www.wakethedead.org/the-band/57-2/) action per Kevin Carr up in the San Juan Islands in the Pacific Northwest, I think ... perhaps to explore with him too ... for those who might be interested? ")

Dear Bruce, All,

Regarding coronavirus gene vaccinations, and your Scottish Country Dance Berkeley survey, Bruce, I've read that one can't choose the brand of one's vaccine at Kaiser Permanente, for ex., and with all the various Vaccines creating blood clots, death, brain injuries, etc  - and that they didn't go through rigorous FDA clinical trials in the US, for ex., before administration by the medical profession, - I found this Swedish newspaper article about Denmark eye opening (for 2 other countries' perspectives, and regarding kinds of unscientific unthinking authoritarianism too) ...

"Live. Danes must voluntarily choose to take abolished vaccines" - 

https://www.dn.se/sverige/det-nya-coronaviruset-folj-utvecklingen-live/

(It's so difficult as a prospective concerned scientist to get such data of vaccine injuries in the US, I'd think too. Caveat emptor, and philosophical skepticism regarding coronavirus genetics and vaccines?)

Yay, for virtual SCD dancing and music-making ? The lack of widespread testing too, in the SF Bay Area (that I've observed), makes me think the genes for SarsCoV2 have done a major disappearing act :)

I'd think that, however, the Coronavirus gene meme (replicating cultural unit) in the internet News' media could be being used for other reasons, like protecting victims -  (and these others, plus more reasons in blog over past 13 months) http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/himalyan-monal-how-are-harbin-hot.html?m=0 - and that, for example, abolishing (in a Friendly Quaker sense, re slavery, - exactly too) and not just for significantly lessening the illegal sex industry, as part of this, - could have much benefit (to protect the innocent particularly - and regarding effective law enforcement esp.). 

I haven't heard of any (of 200) countries enacting laws requiring vaccination, of unscientifically-tested vaccines either. But I bet they're out there ... Anyone?

I signed up for a Topical Lesson with PM Stuart Liddell ... Will see if there's an opportunity to ask questions about band music besides multi-GHB bands. 

All clear to dance? :)

Scott
