Just watching Tim Henson do Tim Henson things for 8+ minutes. (btw - lead player for Polyphia)

ah canadians... also, I am not sure why YouTube recommended this to me.

I am a big Spock's Beard fan from back in the day when it was fronted by Neal. I didn't follow him into his solo work (well I got the first album). It went too Christian for me. I had not heard of the Neal Mores Band project. I will add it to my list. thx

^ this. I can appreciate this version... thanks Rob.

Ah, that is why it kept playing...

What Comes Next Peter Bernstein 2020 Example:

^ Added. Optimisme Songhoy Blues 2020 Example - I don't know what the songs are about, but music is good: ..formed in 2012 after three of its members fled northern Mali following the Islamic radicalist takeover of parts of the country.
