Hello how are you doing

Hello from Richmond!

Wow you make a good point here and I agree with you,Hello how are you doing

I was about to mention this, Terry ... and then noticed that you already had!! 🙂

'The official causes of death were lobar pneumonia and a bleeding ulcer, but Parker also had an advanced case of cirrhosis and had suffered a heart attack. The coroner who performed his autopsy mistakenly estimated Parker's 34-year-old body to be between 50 and 60 years of age.' wiki

@@artemisXsidecross Hi Artemis!

Great! Let’s hook up there.

In 1917, plans were developed for the Masonic and Eastern Star Home for the State of Oregon, and construction began in 1920. It was established as a home for Masons and their families in need, and began operations in 1922. Initial construction costs were estimated at $245,000. A smaller building, called the Children's Cottage, was built in 1926 to house orphans, but the orphanage closed in 1928 after conflict between the children and the elders.

Throughout the 1930s, the home struggled financially. The building suffered roof damage in 1962 after the Columbus Day Storm. In 1999 the Masons began building new facilities with the intention of moving out of the original Masonic Home and Children's Cottage. McMenamins began renovations fall 1999, and reopened the building as McMenamins Grand Lodge in March 2000. As of 2010, the Grand Lodge had 77 European-style rooms, and a historian on its staff. The interior of the hotel - including walls, doors, posts, and ceilings - had been redecorated into a gallery reflecting the local history, "often in whimsical fashion". In 2017, the McMenamins added 22 new rooms, upgraded 23 other rooms, and added a new bar. The McMenamins Grand Lodge has 90 guestrooms and is known for its "quirky" character. Each bedroom features unique decorations honoring a different literary author, with hand-painted headboards that bring their books to life. In June 2022, Portland Monthly magazine reported that McMenamins Grand Lodge had "two restaurants, three bars, a hotel, a spa, a movie theatre, a disc gold course, and generally lush, walkable grounds."

​@@Mark_BrooksWow, you are thorough. Thanks

@@slipperynoodle20 Hi Tom!

@@Mark_Brooks Hey, Mark.

Renfair! 🤣

Hi Sue!

@@Mark_Brooks hello Mark!

Global Warming knows no borders it is an equal opportunity menace. Tea and Sympathy for our planet and its many victims beside humans. 😿

@@artemisXsidecross I retracted 130 in Spain today. I heard that on the news but I looked it up and found nothing. Could be true yet hard to believe.

@@KittyCarlile-490 You were not far off: "...A blistering and deadly heat wave is sweeping Europe, potentially bringing record-breaking temperatures and raising serious concerns about the impacts on people’s health, especially as the continent welcomes an influx of tourists. Parts of Spain, France, Greece, Croatia and Italy are all facing intense heat, with temperatures rising above 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). “Temperatures are sizzling across Europe this week amid an intense and prolonged period of heat. And it’s only just begun,” the European Space Agency (ESA) said in a statement. Heat is one of the deadliest natural hazards - more than 61,000 people died in Europe’s searing summer heat wave last year. In Italy, temperatures could reach record-breaking levels. Sardinia and Sicily are expected to be close to the current European temperature record of 48.8 degrees Celsius (nearly 120 Fahrenheit), according to the ESA..." CNN 7/14/23

We have done a lot of shows with few breaks.

​@@lelandsklar6363I'm glad to hear it was only that! Lyle has touched my heart with the subtleties of his voice, and it sounds like he'll be back in shape soon! You must be heading to Bend today. I look forward to your video; I've never been there. Thank you!

We are not here for the load in and set up. Will see what is possible for load out.

​@@lelandsklar6363 That would be real cool. Those guys break their backs real hard. Give them my regards all the way from Mexico City.

@@lelandsklar6363 I think Jimmy played alto and Tommy played the Trombone. And man, both of them were smooth. Sadly, neither one could ever overcome their personal demons. Love your video clips, Lee. I hope you continue them for the remainder of your travels.

Great idea. I always wondered how they could set up a stage and a tent-city, lights, sound in a few hours and then take it all down and on the the next night's show. Must be exceedingly hard work--even if there were duplicate crews that leap-frogged over each other. What a brutal schedule.

@lelandsklar6363 Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. Off topic question-did you play on J Browne’s “Running on Empty” that was recorded at the Meriwether Post Pavilion? I love that heartbeat bass line.

Excellent point you make,Hellohow are you doing

Just remember: (1) There's no "e" on the end; (2) It's not gone; and (3) it's not going anywhere! 😉

I like going back to 1310, soundcheck with Sierra Hull, and of course the Red Rocks was epic.

@hanspeterlillese2225 Much better, Hans, thank you. 'Calcific tendinopathy' . . .deltoid tendinitis. Can lift and reach now, guddkeluv! Think that manipulation and positioning for the Xray positively effected gleno-humeral space. 💕 And, you? Regarding subject of distortion any thoughts on audio edit software? Happy Sunday!

Gudskeluv!

@hanspeterlillese2225 Good News all around, Hans, Thank Goodness! 💕 (I don't recall 🤔 there were plug-in modules with home recording. . .)

👍🏼

Mr. Bunny!

@@Mark_Brooks hey Mark👍👍

​@@lelandsklar6363Hi Leland & KJ BB! 💖 Wonderful post on my birthday 🎂, 🚨 Thanks Leland 💖 🧙‍♂️🎸🎶

Do background actors even make minimum wage?

@@kateconway-hickman5945 They are 'extras': 'How much do extras get paid? A common rate for a single day of background work is between $100 and $200, though extras are paid differently depending on their union status. Generally, nonunion talent will be hired for either a 10- or 12-hour day, with additional pay provided should production run overtime.'

In some low budget indy productions/some music videos some extra work isn't paid at all (they may use people looking for something to put on their resume, etc.).

@@artemisXsidecross 'Life is a cabaret, old friend, come to the Cabaret. . .'

Yes!

Another scammer is amongst us.

@@hanspeterlillese2225 Yep, she's in a class of her own.

@@slipperynoodle20So sick of this BS. Wish they would just get a life.

Spoke with her this morning and wished her a Happy Birthday. She sounded great ❤️

I wanna shout out a birthday happy to Linda as well. 😊 I kinda backwards it, but leaving it like it is, cause that's how I said it the first time. 💕

At times

@@lelandsklar6363 Thank you 👍

Drummer and singers do.

@@Mark_Brooks - Cool. Thanks for your reply. Lyle, too?

Leland has said he does not favor IEM's

No

@@artemisXsidecross - Thanks for that info. I figured Leland has likely mentioned iems in a past video but haven't gotten around to searching properly. I'm a big fan of iems, so I'm curious about who does, or still doesn't, use them.

Musically yours, hello Sue!

Hey Mark! Ditto! 😎🎶

Sue, since the trolls responded in this thread, you can mute them by looking at options on your subscription page notification, (the bell).

@@Mark_Brooks I can see that. Sigh, okay, gotcha! 👍
