Head Tale - Music Monday – “I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm/The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won’t get snagged/The bells are ringing through the town again/The children look up, all they hear is sky-blue bells ringing”

Music Monday – “I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm/The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won’t get snagged/The bells are ringing through the town again/The children look up, all they hear is sky-blue bells ringing”

Live music is slowly coming back including Jason Isbell covering R.E.M. at Red Rocks the other night. (Not to mention, that same night, I got to see a local artist covering an Isbell song at the Nickle Lake beer gardens which was just as enjoyable!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alO-SjJrKwE “Driver 8” – Jason Isbell (R.E.M. Cover)

Happy Fourth of July! (And Where Would Sask Rate in Fully Vaccinated Rate If We Were A US State?)

On July 4th when President Biden had set (and missed) a goal of 70% of Americans receiving at least their first vaccine, this list of where states are at in terms of full vaccinations is interesting (and probably not surprising) .

Saturday Snap – Happy Father’s Day!

Everybody in this photo has two doses of vaccine (except our teen who has one and our kid who isn’t eligible yet.) Feels really good to get close together on the couch for a family picture before a delicious steak supper!

Why Bo Burnham’s “Inside” Is So Good

Maybe because, like “Nanette” by Hannah Gadsby, it totally deconstructs what a “comedy” special is? Or maybe because it’s one of only a handful of truly reflective, unique artworks created during Covid that capture what this past year has been like? Or maybe because I’m pretty sure he does this by not mentioning Covid once […]
