In Concert

.... Bruce Hornsby. Piano player and music innovator. Venue was a presentation hall at the Royal Conservatory of music. Beutii. Acoustics were aided by wooden baffles on the ceiling and corrugated decorative walls.
A scenario like having the man in your living room. Randy Bachman was correct , go see this guy.
He dropped names : Spike Lee , Chris Thile , Grateful Dead and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band , Pat Metheny. 25 years as an artist. W/ solid Canadian connections , he is a Glen Gould fan , Canadian legend in classical piano work and creation. I.e. , the Goldberg Variations.

Weather : a slight kick at Indian summer. Temps going for 50 + and sun. WOW 

We lose our visitor to-morrow , he's off to London , as in Jollie Ol'
and reality.

World news : The agency ( England ) , that deals w/ preventable diseases ( ???? ) announced that the war on diabetes is failing.
The number , 380 million is up from 2 years ago by 17 %. and if usual statistics apply , it means a further 1/3 of that number are undiagnosed.
The bulk of the diabetics are Type 2 or the diabetes connected to weight and diet abuse.
Contagion , of another kind , fast and processed food conquers humanity.
