This one should rightfully piss you off!!! Thoughtfully told through the eyes of kids... the list of banned books is freaking nuts (I'm sure many of you are well aware of this). First amendment, use it or lose it!!!
The ABCs of Book Banning

Oh, wow, I just watched the Last Repair Shop and it's truly beautiful and moving and fun and wonderful. I really want my grand kids to watch it, partly because my 10 year old granddaughter plays cello through her elementary school.
Thanks, Noodler, and thanks for posting the links.

Went and saw the Oscar
Went and saw the Oscar nominated short films "Adventure" last night, though a better description would have been "Dramas". They were all sad, except the last one, but what's really sad is only one was on you tube, so i'll image the list instead of link it;
I think republicans, and the anti abortion crowd should see "Red, White and Blue", my second fave of these movies.
Knight of Fortune was on youtube, so here's a link;

The animated shorts start today, i'll likely go next Monday or Tuesday... Thursday was the last day for adventure shorts, glad I was able to sneak them in! Got exposed to Covid last week, didn't get it, but had to quarantine myself for a week just for public safety...

And the winner is, The Last Repair Shop!
I love that they brought the shiny-smiled young violin player on stage with them. She's beautiful and that's some blue tulle.

I love short films, and the Last Repair Shop was truly excellent, but seeing the little girl all dressed up on the big stage was truly heartwarming! So sad that music has been removed from so many school districts.
I use to work at one of the local music stores for several years, we did the band rentals / repairs for the mid Willamette Valley and coast. Learned a fair amount about brass / reed repairs, and loved the 2 repair man that worked there (both great reed players)
RIP Al
RIP Stuart (and RIP Glen on drums)
