Have no idea why I looked at the NYTimes wedding section this morning, which is usually filled with odious overachievers in places I could never afford, but this story is pretty heartwarming. I’m glad they chose to write about it.

Mr. Mix, what were you thinking when you inflicted that awful video on us. It’s bad guitar playing, bad voice, and a bad song. Now I have to go wash my ears out.

@Gin & Tonic: Either that’s a bad link or the paywall is being a problem, because when I click that link it goes to a blank white page.
Edit: after posting this I tried a 4th time, and suddenly the link came up. This happened to a few other people last night, but with links that I was able to open just fine. I wonder if those links were also to the NYT.

@WaterGirl: Try this. Great story. God speed to them.
Yeah, it’s my little girl again. She started studying guitar three and a half years ago, but has been singing since before she could walk. Enjoy!

These UConn women’s basketball radio announcers are great.

Hello from the stage of Benaroya Hall in Seattle. Another interminable Carmina rehearsal.

Black Francis! LOVE! (Of course, I’m from Canada, where Leonard Cohen won best male vocalist at the Junos in 1993, so YMMV.)
Paywall has started for Canucks: I’ve used up 19 of 20 freebies so far, but the wedding story was worth it.
And for those keeping track: yes, I took my Vitamin D today.

@David Brooks (not that one): FWIW I’d rather be doing what you’re doing than laying in my bed in Northgate waiting until it’s safe to get the pain med blood levels back up.

Black Francis, lead singer of one of the most influential rock bands, The Pixies. Great (don’t let the haters tell you otherwise).
Great choice for music. Frank Black was my hero in college. One of my best memories ever is helping him carry in his equipment before one of his shows.

Black Francis always gets a [this is good].
This is reminiscent of the acoustic version of “Jumpin’ Beans” he did with the old REV 105 station in Minneapolis 16/17 years ago

@nancydarling: Nice story!
Gin & Tonic
@WaterGirl: Odd, because the URL in nancydarling’s post is identical to that in mine. And the paywall starts tomorrow anyway. Glad you got it to work.

Here is some musical sorbet to cleanse your eardrums after mistermix’s odd choice.
