Revisionist? . . .

. . . right, wrong, guilty, innocent, "critical war crime theory"???

https://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/flag-of-ukraine-facts-history-and-design

Yes, the U.S. has committed a lion's share of war crimes. Does this mean that the U.S. may not object to what is happening to Ukraine and its many innocent citizens? The U.S. must take responsibility for its past as well as for responsibility for our fellow man today.

I chose the song Meteors, which appears on my 'For The Ride' album, for a video when Russ was visiting home from Los Angeles, somewhere about 2008(???). The piano had just been tuned and sounded great completely open. Russell's sense of movement and perspective, and with superb editing chops, all make for a wonderful visual presentation. The state of the technology at the time however (for the price), rendered the camera a bit less than optimal for the audio. I'm still quite proud of the video though, the song and of course, Russell.

Process. . .

https://facilethings.com/blog/en/how-to-create-processes-to-increase-your-productivity

Much of OHO's music during my tenure with the outfit during the past ten-plus years, has been created through a careful, slow, meticulous, and thoughtful process. The tune 'Third-Hand Intelligence', which you can access below, is one such example. The original song was a 12/8 ballad, in the style of many pop hits from the 1950s and 60s. Jay took that raw material and completely revised the beat to more of a rock one and sped the tempo up a bit. He also added the middle-section, in an un-conventional time-signature to replace the original piano solo. Jay's impeccable vocals, harmonies (and much, much more music-stuff) added by Bill Pratt with the usual top-notch percussing by David transformed the piece into the booty-shaking version that appears on 2018's GAZEBO by the band. Quite an accomplishment, if I do say so myself.
