Remember the story about the old guy at the feed store who suddenly retired? I went over to the ACE hardware store today to get some window film since it seems these single-digit and sub zero temperatures are going to continue for at least the next several days. As I got out of the car, someone called out to me and who would it be but Mark, the old dude in the story. He was just leaving, and was as happy to see me as I was to see him.
We went into the store to talk and shop, and made sure that I got his address. He doesn’t have a phone nor any internet access, so the only way to reach him is to go knock on his door as if it was the 1970s. It turns out that in the shuffle of him getting his locker emptied, etc he had lost my phone number so I was never going to hear from him anyway.
We spent the afternoon catching up, in fact having conversations we never had time for while we worked in the store when someone would tell us to move along if we stood around talking for more than a couple minutes.
I showed him where I live, and we exchanged projects. He has a laptop that has been plugged in about twice in the last 5 years, so I’m going to make sure it’s up to date and I might upgrade him to a SSD since it’s really slow because I assume it has a hard disk. I’ll be helping him get familiar with using Windows and getting connected to the internet.
He is a fine wood craftsman and he is going to make a bespoke box for my set of knife sharpening stones. We made plans to keep in touch and work on some projects together. What a wonderful serendipity!Sun Jan 19 16:28:06 2025

Saw this on r/mikeoldfield and it’s a wonderful interpretion of a beautiful piece
Orchestral version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMSq1tEvFJ0
A solo piano tribute to Mike Oldfield’s The Songs of Distant Earth, featuring themes inspired by Let There Be Light, Supernova, and Magellan.
This music has lived close to the heart of Bastien DiArgos for many years. Mike Oldfield’s original work carries a rare sense of wonder: the ocean, the stars, the voices, and the dream of humanity looking beyond Earth while still carrying the memory of home.
In this solo piano version, the arrangement is kept intimate and direct. The piano becomes the vessel for that journey: light, distance, silence, hope, and the feeling of Earth remembered from far away.
The full ensemble version expands this same tribute with electric guitar, strings, drums, percussion, vocals, and cinematic textures.
Thank you for listening to Bastien DiArgos.
We are an ensemble gathered around the piano, blending neo-Romantic music, cinematic sound, strings, guitar, and ancestral echoes.
Every piece carries the feeling of remembrance.
A signal from the world beneath the world.
Music as memory. Beauty as remembrance. For the memory that survived, and still sings.

gotta keep a look on the right axis. Old people are not (necessarily) your enemy. Know who most of the people are at the thrift store? boomers, and they’re not all looking to resell on ebay

Here is the first of the tracks that I have converted to WAV and uploaded to soudcloud. It appears that the free version only allows for 180 minutes of stuff, so I have to decide if it’s worth $99 a year to keep stuff up there. I haven’t listened to this all the way through, it’s currently set to private. I’d gladly put a pic of Joe as the thumbnail.
Odd to hear Joe’s voice again.
