Happy Earth Day and Happy Birthday to us. 4 years ago today monochrome motif launched with “The final corridor of uncertainty” an instrumental album reflecting on the global challenges of climate change. Sadly little has changed in this respect. andrewhartshorn.bandcamp.com/album/the-fi...

Listening to the Terry Brown mix of #graceunderpressure. Not happy with what he did to Geddy's vocals, definitely prefer the original mix overall, but I must say that his Afterimage, particularly the middle section to the point where the vocals come back in, gave me goosebumps. #rush

Anxiously awaiting the release of the 40th Anniversary edition of Grace Under Pressure. It's a top-five Rush album for me. Distant Early Warning was the first Rush song I ever heard and it's been fun listening to the Terry Brown mix of it. Can't wait to hear his version of Between the Wheels! #rush

Just finished Johnny Marr's autobiography. Two cool things I didn't know - when he went to NY to sign The Smiths to Sire Records, the label let him buy a Gibson 355. He took it back to the hotel and promptly wrote Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now and Girl Afraid. And later he became a marathoner!

We have been going to a local Christmas choir concert for the last few years, and they always sing This Christmastide by Donald Fraser. No matter how many times I hear it, at the very end there is a haunting Bm chord with a 9-8 suspension. That C# gets me every time.
