Big Tech Platforms are acting as the defacto policing /judgement force of the internet by deciding whose Speech is most relevant, which Speech might languish, and which Speech must die, never to be resurrected. Is this what you expected to occur on OUR internet when we began expending so much of our time on this medium?
  Yes, I have always trusted a larger entity to divine for me what is true and what is real.
  No, I did expect the internet to become a conduit to information that might enlighten my perspective by the choices I make while using OUR internet.
  I never think this deeply; this makes my brain hurt.

Old Christmas Songs – New Singers

Old Christmas Songs – New Singers


    YouTube is a forum that allows struggling and upcoming musicians offer their renditions of both standards as well as original content.

    My particular favorite is to see young guitar aficionados perform. As anyone who has ever tried to play an instrument knows, it does not come easy. It requires hours and hours of practice to even get to the barely passable level of a public performance.

   Here are two old Standards offed by young people I found on YouTube.

Feliz Navidad

Reina del Cid Singer and Toni Lindgren Guitar

I'll Be Home for Christmas

Josh Turner Guitar
Carson McKee Singer

I agree. I am well past the master state, but it is still fun to play.

And think about it B.T.: What would we do without our callouses.

It's amazing how that six-string monster can be conquered in the right hands. I guess it's a lot like golf. In the hands of some the club and instrument doesn't matter. In the hands of a master, the club and instrument carries the performance to the next level.

Thanks Bobby Tony for the Christmas cheer through the music of these talented young folks.
