Interesting...
Not sure it'll catch on though... (add face-palm here)  :mrgreen:
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Nice. just played this piece in a big band last night. On a bass guitar, though.

The guy who bought the same bass twice — first in 1977 and again in 2023

Outstanding.
When my daughter was in elementary school her honors orchestra had "Mancini as a guest conductor and they played his catalogue of hits.

Wow. That must have been an experience she'll never forget.

We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...

The Silver Surfer plays double bass?!



Heck I didn't know, I was more drawn to his prose:

"Even in failure there can be nobility!*** But failing to try brings only shame! Henceforth and forever — I am the Silver Surfer! To save our people, I have sworn to serve Galactus!"

*** Alas!, not a universal sentiment these days.
