Luca Stricagnoli Plays Vivaldi on Acoustic Guitar: "Winter" (The Four Seasons)

Luca Stricagnoli Plays Vivaldi on Acoustic Guitar: “Winter” (The Four Seasons)

“The Four Seasons” by A. Vivaldi is a masterpiece. My favorite part is “The Winter”, or “L’ Inverno” in the Italian original title. The first time I heard “Winter” as a guitar version was in 2019 during “International Guitar Night”. In that tour, my two friends Antoine Boyer and Samuelito, played an incredible arrangement for 2 guitars, and until this day that’s still my favorite guitar duo.
Recently, I found the brilliant version of Emre Sabuncuoglu, which not only is amazing, but was also very useful for me to learn the notes by ear from his guitar, rather than an orchestra. Thank you to all these artists for the great inspiration. My arrangement ended up having several differences, including a completely different tuning, the usage of percussion, the usage of tremolo in one of the latter parts, plus several Fingerstyle techniques used here and there. Overall, I believe that I managed to take inspiration, but at the same time adding enough of my own ideas to the pot. The video has been masterfully shot by my super wife Meg, as per usual at around 3 AM to avoid having people in the scenes.

I am using a X4 carbon fiber guitar made by the brand ENYA MUSIC enya-music.com . I am also using a WX-501 wireless system by SWIFF AUDIO, as well as their tuner. swiffmusic.com .
Come to one of my live shows to hear this song and many more. Tour dates on: lucastricagnoli.com

re: #188 JC1

If the law defined machine guns by their rate of fire then it would apply to bump stocks. They instead relied on bullets fired per trigger pull. So devices that only fire 1 round per trigger pull, but allow you to pull the trigger 10 times per second aren’t covered.

It would have been relatively simple to amend the NFA so that a machine gun is also any gun modified via any accessory where the trigger moves differentially to the shoulder stock during recoil.

But there wouldn’t have been any GOP votes for that. So they instead passed the version they knew the Supreme’s could balk at via pedantry.

One fun thing about the media obsessing about nonsense like the GOP proposal to name our coastal waters after Trump is that is takes the nation’s mind off weightier questions like “Did the former President commit capital crimes by selling top-secret documents to our worst enemies?”

France has names for its various coastal regions: Côte d’Albâtre, Côte d’Améthyste, Côte d’Amour, Côte d’Argent, Côte d’Or, Côte d’Azur etc…

We could name our coastal regions after aspects of his Felony trial: The Michal Cohen Coast, The Trump Revocable Trust Coast, The Stormy Daniels Coast, The Gag Order Coast, etc.

7,000 people in this town are graduating right now in a stadium. The main way out of town is a one lane bridge, because they’re building a new one and needed space. There is going to be a traffic jam all night. I love it when cars don’t go anywhere. I struggle to sympathize with the people packed in them, but I really hate cars, with rare exceptions.

So the Republicans want to name the coastal waters for Trump.

They’re once again proving to the world just how fucking stupid they are.

Imagine the headlines

“Miami Underwater From Trump Coastal Waters”

“Malibu Beach Homes Flooded by Trump Waters”

And so on…

Besides I can’t afford a car. Especially the usurious car insurance rates.

Lauren Boebert’s planned appearance at ‘Hot Girl Summer’ GOP event unleashes wave of jokes

An announcement by the Washington D.C. Young Republicans that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) will be a featured guest at their “Hot Girl Summer” happy hour on June 26, was greeted with a bevy of jokes about the controversial lawmaker who is still trying to live down her Beetlejuice escapades.

Needless to say, Boebert was targeted in the responses with one commenter writing, “You’re a middle-aged divorcée with a family of felons. Who the hell calls themself a ‘hot girl’ anyway?”

Then came the flood with another noting that the 37-year-old Boebert recently became a grandmother, writing, “Are you the Old Granny of the hot girl group?”

That was followed by multiple comments about Boebert’s Beetlejuice scandal where she was accused of being handsy, with another commenter suggesting, “Feel up a date in public and suddenly you’re one of the “Hot Girl Summer” clan members. Your constituents should be very proud.”

I’d rather not drive to work (2 miles to the freeway, 10 miles down the freeway, 2 miles from the freeway), but my employer insists. I consider it an enormous waste of my time. The two days I went in this week (I was on call yesterday), there was NOBODY else from my group in the office.

I keep saying there are reasons why there are union flyers all over the building. This is one of them.

“…Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., introduced a bill in April to rename Washington-Dulles International Airport to the Donald J. Trump International Airport.

A few days later, a group of Democrats responded with legislation to change the name of the federal prison in Miami to the Donald J. Trump Federal Correctional Institution.

We are on our third car (borrowed Beamer, borrowed Subaru, currently renting an Equinox paid for by the dealer we bought the car at) in a week and a half after our almost new 2024 Chevy Trax spontaneously combusted and burned up a few days ago. An amazing fire experience - just far enough from my house in the driveway and with the wind just right to not threaten our abode.

Otherwise, we loved the car.

Maybe. That’s my sister’s belief. But we never thought that the racists of old would expand their territory beyond the South and that they would be returning to power throughout their original states.

The Sotomayor dissent really resonates with me and is very persuasive. But as long as Federalist Society hacks reign on SCOTUS, a reasonable interpretation of the Constitution and laws will fail every time it is in conflict with their ideology.

It Wasn’t Just Sharks. The Rest of That Trump Speech Was Batshit, Too.
rudepundit.blogspot.com

When rapist and convicted felon Donald Trump spoke at a heat stroke-inducing rally in Las Vegas on Sunday, his teleprompter was fucking up and he was forced to go almost totally off the cuff. A wiser man might have read from a prepared speech, a printout of which was no doubt available to him. But Donald Trump is not a wise man. He’s a goddamned idiot who thinks that every word he pisses out is like a fuckin’ sermon from Jesus himself. And his followers are willing to go to the hospital to get sprayed with his incoherent streams and declare them showers of gold.

Surely, you have heard about how Trump told some fake fuckin’ story about asking an obviously confused boat maker about electrocution by boat battery in the ocean or getting eaten by sharks, as if that’s something that anyone has ever had to decide ever or ever would have to decide. In the non-Trumpian, real world, that would be enough to have him led back to a home for the elderly and have him sat in front of a TV playing Fox “news” and giving him a double scoop of ice cream filled with Xanax to keep him calm.

You’ve heard the story discussed as more evidence of his decline into gibberish. But you haven’t really heard about the rest of the speech. And that’s a shame because it’s equally deranged, ranging from What-the-fucking-fuck moments to utter dickishness to tangents upon tangents within tangents that demonstrate an inability to coherently keep to a point. Lemme give you a few examples.

Those who push back are then painted as “intolerant” and “not respecting free speech”. It has always been there, but lately they are making less of an effort to hide it.

Finally found a good use case for chatgpt.

In my house we have tons of dietary restrictions. Some are allergies and others are preferences so strongly held they may as well be allergies.

It can be hard to figure out new things to prepare that meets all the requirements. We often wind up making multiple options.

I tried asking chatgpt and it was kind of helpful. Still not “artificial intelligence” but kind of cool.

I’m sure there are websites that already had that capability but I am not sure what they are.
