Azalea?
The flower’s a little early because I have family obligations and won’t be back until Sunday afternoon. I’m scheduling a couple of youtubes that I like for this afternoon and tomorrow morning. I hope to do some posting over at Left in Alabama on Sunday evening.
Slept in today and woke up with this song in my head. Haven’t thought of these guys in years.
Cello Trio Melo-M jammin the 99 Red Balloons. My sister turned me on to this group recently. They do all sorts of stuff, and are a lot of fun to watch. Sadly, I was unable to locate a live clip of them doing this one. But the stills are nice, and there are clips of them playing other tunez live here.
Another shot from my hybrid rose collection. I am almost to the end of the photos from my outings last spring, so It’s a good thing it’s time for the flowers to start blooming again.
Wildflowers don’t get enough attention. I am not sure what type these are. I spied them growing in a vacant lot last spring, and thought the deserved having their photo taken. 
This story reminded me that flower blogging is fun, and that I have some flower photos I never got around to using back when I was doing a weekly flower blog. These are some type of hybrid rose. I’m fortunate enough to live near a university that has a public rose garden, and I took these last April when they were all in bloom.
This is a rose of some sort. I am not sure what sort, because I didn’t write the name down when I took the pic a back in April.

One of my favorite bands ever. I like their long instrumental stuff the best, but I’ve always had a soft spot for this one.

Here’s BuelahMan’s latest collaboration with the ultimate lefty band, Max and the Marginalized. A great song, and video about the Pentagon’s pedantic, pusillanimous, propaganda pundit-puppets. The sock puppet at the beginning of the video is excellent.
As always, you can find many more music videos at Max’s blog, and all sorts of moving pictures at BuelahMan’s YouTube channel.
I’ve never paid much attention to Brian Setzer, but this is the best ninety seconds of guitar virtuosity I’ve run across in a while. It’s worth a look even if you don’t care much for this style of music. It’s impossible to convey the level of skill required to do this, and the expression of joy that lights up his face at the 58-second mark is a thing of beauty in and of itself.
