Listening to some smooth and easy Steely Dan this afternoon
Fun fact - the guitarist on the left, Jeff "skunk" Baxter (a founding member of Steely Dan and later Doobie Brothers), is not only a brilliant guitarists but also a Dept of Defense senior advisor in Missile Defense. (I was a senior test analyst in Missile Defense for several years.) It was Skunk who came up with the idea of using the Aegis Cruiser as an ocean-going component of our BMDS (Ballistic Missile Defense System). The guy is brilliant.
Smart fellow. There are of course other musicians with interesting educational backgrounds and careers:
Brian May of Queen has a PhD in astrophysics and designed the OWL sterescope.
John Tichy of Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen has a PhD from University of Michigan and until recently headed the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York.
Tom Scholz of Boston has a Masters degree in mechanical engineering from MIT.
I listened to West Ham book a place in the semi final of the Europa league. Why did I listen? Because I had to drive to work to sort the alarm!
Cab Calloway - Mini the Moocher Blues Brothers
Free Bird. (3 months before the tragedy)

One of my favorites. Tears me up every time....
Harry wrote some great tunes. Taken from us far too early. If I recall correctly, he was killed in a car accident on the Long Island expressway when he was in his late 30's.
This is my favorite song (pair of songs) by Pink Floyd. I love this... Love it.
Pink Floyd: Brain Damage/Eclipse

Knew about May and Scholz. Didn't know about John Tichy (not much of a Commander Cody aficionado).
Been on a soundtrack binge lately - particularly with Dr. Who as tonight is Jodie Whittaker's penultimate episode as the 13th Doctor. Oddly enough though I like Segun Akinola's theme's (currently writing the soundtrack for Dr. Who) I have been revisiting some of Murray Gold's compositions like these emotional pieces:
Top stuff and looking forward to the Sea Devil's return tonight.
