Your new photo that you posted on Facebook is quite excellent, John G.  Is that for the book release?

Whatever I've tried, Amazon won't let me get the categorization of my book to something like Humor or Music.  It seems stuck on some variation on Popular Culture.

I can't find any information on whether this was determined by a human being or by some sort of AI or computer system.

I saw "The Luckiest Man in America" earlier this year and also enjoyed it very much.

No. I just noticed the one I was using was getting old.

Had long conversation with the gal who wrote the book, and she's fine with me getting rid of repetitious stuff and also anything where she doesn't come off well - there are only a couple of instances of that, which I'll now fix.

Very enjoyable photos from yesterday's show, George!  Thanks for posting them.

Thanks, and you're welcome, Freddie!

TOD: Unforgiven, then Gran Torino. The latter in part because I can do Detroit location spotting like bk and others do for LA.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm up for seeing that again. I really only know Detroit from one childhood visit and a college-years one, but it made its impression on me in those years and I know of its incredible past as one of the great cities.

DR Ginny is an expert on Detroit.

Recently did an all-too-brief location spotting with True Romance.

Do you know It Follows?

Nancy LaMott has some new albums out. Well, mostly stuff that was released before, but with a few new added tracks.

DR ChasSmith, I left Detroit more than 50 years ago, but I do remember the glorious ‘50s and ‘60s.

My sealed copy of Believe... The Songs of the Sherman Brothers (on the label that shall not be named) finally arrived.

I bought it when it was released, but I don't know where that copy is, and it's not on the streaming services.

In any case, I notice that nowhere is BK credited for the Shermanized Word Medley. Or anywhere on the album, of course.

I take that back. There is a "Conceived By..." credit in the booklet.

I had a great two-hour nap earlier. I highly recommend it.

In TV streaming, we're alternating recently between PROFESSOR T and THE MADAME BLANC MYSTERIES.

Both shows involve solving a murder every show, but THE MADAME BLANC MYSTERIES is lighter in overall tone even though the murder itself is just as violent, like in ELSBETH or MURDER, SHE WROTE.

Then I wonder if they'll find their way to YouTube pretty soon.
