Thanks for the Twitter shoutout to the trans grooms who included Decemberists music in their ceremony last weekend. One of the grooms was my son. I was crying as they came down the aisle to A Beginning Song. Beautiful ceremony set to beautiful music.

Lovely space! I see the OEDs on the shelf -- nice. Random word nut question: do you have "Origins" by Eric Partridge? Every time we wonder "where did x come from?" or "are y and z from the same root?" this book enlightens. (He's author of the "Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English", which might also have crossed your radar)

I'm hoping that Offa Rex note on the music stand is an indicator of more songs in the future. Can't get enough of it.

Thanks! I suppose I'm now going to check out the music of The Replacements.

Which album should I try first...?

Was anyone else reminded of Ricky Gervais from the Office when Colin said "Everly Brothers" after finishing Bye Bye Love?? 😊

Well that was enjoyable! Thank you! I'd love to see the vinyl records one by one, even if they are regular versions. It will just be very cool to see you going through them.

That's an interesting-looking hollow-body bass. I was sorry it got skipped. I don't recognize it. Is it a Kay?

Do you write fiction in the Machine Shop as well, or do you have another space for that?

Thanks for sharing the space! Maybe it’s lingo I’m not familiar with, but the “first thought” and “best thought” on the speakers piqued my interest, what’s that mean?

Thanks again!
