Glad to see, Lex! I hope things are looking up now that you're back home!

Good to hear that you're back home.

Hi Lex ... it's great to see you back. We've been keeping you and Linda in our thoughts and prayers.

Thank you: Linda is having a tough time losing her independence for a while, and I am having to become rather more involved in housekeeping as well as taking care of her, quite a learning curve for both of us!

... and some music, new from Bros Landreth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W13CTgvcyNs

It's always sad when we lose great musicians. They are true masters of their craft -- artists of rare talent!

I stumbled upon this yesterday which seems like the beginning of a rather good blues playlist, but identification of the tracks the tracks and artistsis proving elusive and I am wondering whrether it is an AI concoction... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXITj3QCk_8&list=RDrXITj3QCk_8&start_radio=1

This one looks like the real deal and was new to me and crackles, but is it also perhaps AI?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UBFxFMh040

Once again I was trawling through artists performing with Jools and these three stood out.
If you have been paying attention you know I like a cover version as well as a version loaded with strings. The first is a cover of a classic care of Ed Sheeran, the second a classic U2 song all strung out.
The third is just a flat out Bowie classic
