A Procrastinated Halloween Picture

 


I don’t normally take pictures of people, and I definitely don’t post pictures of people on this blog, because I don’t want to have to deal with indignant people who don’t want their pictures taken. 


But I have to assume that this guy wanted to have his picture taken.

  Of course, his vibe is somewhat undercut by the fact that his guitar is pink . . . 


. . . and (for those who know about metal) by the fact that it’s a Strat.

(I also have to admit that I don’t know very much about computers, as not only do I not understand what a “backend fetch” is, but I also have no idea why the error message involves “guru meditation” and “varnish”.)

Halloween Listening IV

 

We have time for one more song that brings the spookiness, “John Barleycorn”, which is actually a modern arrangement of a traditional English folk song by Traffic (which, for the uninitiated, was one of Steve Winwood’s bands before his solo career):
