I love this thing so much. Last night I was learning a jazz piece. JAZZ. I've been playing for 4 weeks now, and last night I played jazz. My left index and middle fingertips are (possibly permanently?) numb, but I just LOVE playing bass!

A force of nature. She was complicated and troubled, but passionate and fierce. An outspoken voice of a generation, and absolutely right about the catholic church. Rest easy, Sinead.

Sinéad O’Connor, the Irish singer of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” has died, The Irish Times reports. She was 56. Her cause of death has yet to be revealed. Her family said in a stateme…

A couple of weeks ago, I shared a 60F UND ME (obfuscated because fb just loves to bury these kinds of things, which is also why the lenq will be in comments), I said I'd have another to share later for another friend fighting cancer. That time has come.

There's a running joke that the first thing they ask you when you go to hospital is "Cash or credit card?" That is not true at all. The first thing they ask is "Do you have insurance?" The second is "Cash or credit card?" because even if you have insurance, there are deductibles and co-pays, and they usually want that up-front. So, instead of patients being able to rest, and look after themselves and do all they can to heal, they are often under stress because of the financial burden due to our for-profit healthcare system, making these sorts of things necessary in order to help ease that burden and alleviate the stress.

--steps off soapbox--

This time, the patient in question is my artist friend, Chris Malidore . He is battling Hodgkins Lymphoma. The good news is that it is one of the easier ones to treat, although Chris's blood gremlins are stage 4, and the treatments are kicking his arse a bit as well as the arses of the gremlins. He and his wife and caregiver Delphine Malidore could use a bit of help, and this is where you come in. If you can, please drop some dollars in the proverbial bucket; but if nothing else, you could help by sharing the lenq far and wide. And check out Chris's and Del's art - buying art from them would be very helpful, too!

Lenq in comments!

Our previous post was for a g 0 f u n d m e for an acquaintance of Mary's who is fighting cancer. After that post, The Id, an indie prog band from the UK got in touch and offered to donate proceeds from the sale of their new single, "Human" to Lani's Fight. We are so grateful for their generosity! You can hear "Human" now in rotation on the station, and if you'd like to grab a copy, head over to their Bandcamp page: https://theid.bandcamp.com/track/human-iteration-2

Thank you so much, Tim and the gang of Id! And thank you to anyone who can drop some $$ love for Lani's Fight - every little bit helps!

Sharing this in case anyone seeing it can lend a hand. The wife of one of my artist acquaintances is battling the Unweaver (cancer). A particularly nasty variety, treatment for which will be unreasonably expensive. I'll likely have another one to share coming up as another artist friend is just beginning treatment, too. Until we stop treating healthcare as a for-profit business, these things are necessary :(

Hello friends and family from around the world. We are Shawna and Nazli - two best friends of Lani Zup… Shawna Fantel needs your support for Lani’s Big Fight
