Yessonata by Rick Wakeman (2024) https://album.link/i/1776904691 Example - well there is only two songs 20min each - this is the first one: Must be my birthday - again.. If you like Yes themes - which I do, on piano - which I do, you too might like - like I do.

Microsoft, as part of the latest security update, sneaked in a link to Copilot, shoving a link on the bottom ribbon. What is Copilot? Well it is an Generative AI thing, that they have named Prometheus. I knew that I remembered something about Prometheus. Well he was one of the Greek Titan gods. And he bestowed fire for humanity - which I guess what was in Microsoft's mind, intelligence being a metaphor for fire. What they entirely missed is the Zeus was so pissed off with Prometheus that he had him chained to a rock. Each day, an eagle would come and eat his liver. Overnight the liver would grow back, only to be eaten again. So Prometheus was sentenced to permanent agony and torment. I guess the marketing team at Microsoft failed to spot the problem inherent in the name!

Complete Concerto Recordings by Martha Argerich & Claudio Abbado (2015 box set) https://album.link/i/1452345247 Example - No way to pic a sample - so here is the ad: Just under 5 hours - includes: Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Major, Op. 26 (Sergei Prokofiev) Piano Concerto in G Major, M. 83 (Maurice Ravel) Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 11 (Frédéric Chopin) Piano Concerto No. 1 in E-Flat Major, S. 124 (Franz Liszt) Piano Concerto in G Major, M. 83 (Maurice Ravel) Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat Minor, Op. 23, TH 55 (Pyotr Illitch Tchaïkovski) Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 37 (Ludwig van Beethoven) Piano Concerto No. 25 in C Major, K. 503 (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K. 466 (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart) I am not sure how many would rank at the top of my lists for these works, but all would be very high. The recordings from 1967,1968 are really fun. And I of course have to not spend my time listening to the mixing and mastering differences from DG over the decades.

Sounds spot on to me. 🤣

TJ's Spicy Pumpkin Samosas with Organic Sri Lankan Mango Chutney, to start. Followed by Creamy Coconut Chicken Curry with pumpkin, Banana and Mango Chutney.

I call it bachelor's casserole. Polish sausage, potatoes, onion, corn, bell pepper and mushrooms. Really, whatever I have in the fridge.
