So I have been playing around with image manipulation in AI a bit this week. Or if you have a vivid imagination I have been time travelling. It is very addictive, though I have also managed to fit in a gig at an old venue and written some music and started recording it as well. I got a migraine possibly triggered by too much screen time as well. Not fun at all.

I survived the gig at the Red Lion, everybody in the band was going at it full on. Never seen them light up like that before. Slight dodgy sound on the first couple of numbers but I sorted that. First time I have played with a full band at the Red Lion in about 10 years. Shame we couldn’t have filmed it. Felt fucking intense! like being back in Elephant Shelf though quite possibly a tad too loud. Blew all the Charlie Kirk and SC Judgement shit clean out of my mind for a while. I do wish they would repair the door locks in the ladies though. Still busted since 2015. That’s Rock and roll.

The moon landing deniers make me laugh. They rode in a tin cans (like the bowie song)on top of some fireworks and used a lot of maths to make sure they got there and got back with aid of more fireworks. Navigation was much like it would be on ship at sea with a sextant and taking position from the stars. The computer only displayed number codes so they had to look up what the numbers meant in a big bound manual to see what it was telling them when they pressed buttons. The slightest bit of bad maths and they would have died. It was a fantastic achievement but any kid with a slight interest in science and able to do basic maths who saw it on TV live could have made a good stab at explaining how it was done in the 60s and 70s. It was incredibly high risk, but they boldly went and it matters.

Here is a jazz tune from me.
