like you said, she is full of surprises and a class act for sure.
i loved the way she was beaming like the Cheshire cat in the clip, she really looked like she was enjoying herself

BTW I like a lot of Eno's music but it's a bit rich for him to be complaining about capitalism. When he created the opening notes for Microsoft Windows he was getting paid a substantial fee for it. And it's about time that the likes of Spotify, Napster and I-tunes get a kick in the balls. They have been getting all the revenue and the creators are getting virtually nothing. It will be interesting to see how this all pans out.
An article about the whole saga - https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/art...c-industry
And in any case when Eno was selling all those CD's did he think it was philanthropic? And when his music was being used as film soundtracks you can rest assured he was getting paid big time! It is odd, re Eno. Unless he's being quoted out of context somehow, which doesn't seem likely. The concerns about energy usage appear to be legit, but I'm sure someone will come up with a solution, or they already have!
Helpful article/site - the crypto ship sailed without me I'm afraid - wouldn't be a first.

Going to be away from the site for a while - not sure how long. Going to take some time off to pursue one or two new things, work on some music now and then, learn some new things and also just to 'disconnect' for a while and smell the roses. Have a great 2022 and keep the flag flying! See you down the road...
