Indeed.
I’ve played guitar with a few bluegrass musicians but my preference is for Zydeco (Cajun) which most people find a bit hard core and is more French in nature.
My music library covers a lot of the world, some you might like, Japanese Taiko drummers, Balkan gipsy, Ukrainian Bandura, Africa, Middle East....

Zydeco - Balfour brothers “Parlez-Nous A Boire“ (let’s talk about drinking) was in the film Southern comfort

Taiko - Kodo drummers - O-Daiko. “Heartbeat” drums are very moving live and close up. Very physical and you feel rather than hear them, its a very moving experience. It has a long and complex origin/history.
Taiko features in a great film “ Isle of dogs” and others

I’ll stop there

edit: better video without sync problem

Taiko Kodo drummers were at our Farmers Market last weekend. GREAT show.

My daughter married a 1/2 Japanese 1/2 English man and their son looks so much Japanese. We took him down there but at 20 months old all he wanted to do was run up the hills and swings.

His first bike

He he - a feet forward guy!

Who Pimped His Ride with Duct Tape ? You need to properly introduce him to The Dark Side with some nice tires.

 

[Dave_J]

A neighbor gave him that trike with the duct taped tire. I found two NEW old stock "Hotwheels" hard plastic tires on Ebay, $200 plus $35 shipping from Taiwan.

That trike has a pump up front tire and a Cantilevered brake system found on high end bikes in the 1990's. And it has a "Free wheel" hub so when he stops pedeling the crank stops too. Most "Big Wheel" trikes did not free wheel and as coasting they pumped the peddles.
When you twist the right 'Throttle' it REV's up.... Vroom Vroom and has a tachometer.

Thanks for the tip …..

I watched this series and appreciated it :

Chernobyl | Official Website for the HBO Series | HBO.com

The official website for Chernobyl on HBO, featuring interviews, schedule information, behind the scenes exclusives, and more.

www.hbo.com

I haven’t watched the series on the area, but I’ll check it out sometime. The move I listed, is a documentary on the woman who refused to move, afterwards, and shows incredible human spirit. Anyone I’ve recommended this film to has been equally impressed.

The Babushkas of Chernobyl (2015) - IMDb

The Babushkas of Chernobyl: Directed by Anne Bogart, Holly Morris. An affectionate portrait of a group of women who, after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster and evacuation, returned to the exclusion zone surrounding the nuclear power plant and have resided there - semi-officially, for years.

Zulu. Jingoistic hsitory bending film about a few Welsh guards defeating a Zulu war party. Using black powder Martini Henry (Enfield) rifles, there are a few naughty bits, they couldn't source enough of the right rifles so some of the "soldiers" in the back ground had SMLE's with the mag removed.

Imagine what they could have done to the attacking party if they had SMLE's issued... It was already carnage, it would have been plain murder.

But a cracking film all the same. Makes you proud to be British.

Here’s a great series from the BBC that I found free on Roku “The Village”.

Bullitt 1968 or Great Escape 1963, and The Sand Pebbles 1966. Steve McQueen was great in all!

 

[Charbroil]

Seen the great escape a couple times. Good movie, especially the bike scene in the field. Inspired a stupidly funny weekly show , Hogan’s Heroes, which unfortunately is one of the few shows not available for free on my Roku. Even my wife laughs at Colonel Klink, and Shultz, and she doesn’t like war stuff. Hopefully on Roku soon

One of my favorite tv shows. They don't make them like it anymore.

Hogan's Heros was BANNED in Germany. The American Armed Forces TV "AFN" could not show it. I had the VHS of the seasons but have miss-placed it over the years.

But..... DVD @ $24.99

Great, I’m hoping Bluebottle can tell us more about Derbyshire
or if he ever had his hands caned by a teacher ?

Starting season 2 tonight, I almost gave up on it after the first episode with the drunken father's abuse. Glad I didn't, the wife enjoys it as well

I purchased the Digital HD four movie set of The Hunger Games
for $4.99 with Amazon Slow Ship Credits.

Definitely worth watching.

Moral of the story….
Do What You Can, When You Can
Cause Bad doesn’t get Good on it’s own.
