    Looking through my records and found a 10" EP on Balkanton I'd forgotten I had. I used a ChatGPT to translate the writing on the jacket and discovered it did not match the label. Translating the actual label on the record led to discovering I had a a very early recording from the arranger / director (and probably I could say the same group) of one of my favorite "bands", Les Mystere des Voix Bulgares. I got choked up - I am such a massive fan. I need to retransfer and attempt to remove the skip. I'll be sharing this whole record on YouTube once I've done a little more research. This is called Вечеряй, Радо — Vecheryay, Rado - “Have Your Supper, Rada” or “Eat Your Supper, Rada”.

    Just back from the UK, I was looking through the Bulgarian section everywhere I went, and found this Trio Bulgarka record The Forest is Crying - apt title for today. I'm working ona transcription of this tune.

    Joe and Cydney are finally in! We made an impromptu racket feedback session with 3 phones and zoom. Joe took this shot of a buck in his new back yard.
