Things Smackie Thinks You Need to Know...

also there is this one  Lack of Afro - One for the Trouble

The flute solo is an abomination


There is a reason people can’t get 25 cents for Herbie Mann LPs

Jethro Tull hasn’t fared much better

You wouldn't pay a quarter for this?

Are you kidding?!  Things to do with a flute is exactly what this thread is for….

All joking aside, I'm going to see Raman Kalyan, a famous Indian floutist, at this art gallery tonite and have had tickets for like 2 months.

The Brand was head cheerleader in high school and also a flautist in the marching band.  At halftime of football games she would do the cheer routine, then run over and grab her flute and perform the marching band routine with her band hat on and in her cheerleading outfit.  I have offered high rewards for photos or video of said routine.

I'm also working on my first Smackie Corollary in a long time based on this exercise….

I owe Kosmo many beers and look forward to seeing him again over said beers.  Hopefully in April…

We watched the accompanying movie on Paramount+ tonight with a bottle of wine or two.  Definitely a Baz Luhrmann feel to it, though some of my favorite tracks from the new album are not in the movie.

Gavin is going to pace almost exactly at vaccine rates in CA counties and may have just laid out a blueprint for the midterms…
