Over a year ago I wrote about my friend Neva:
I wasn’t living in Long Beach when Melissa Etheridge made her breakthrough playing locally at a club called Que Sera on 7th Street (funny that her wikipedia article doesn’t mention Que Sera), but every time I come out and watch Neva I think I’m seeing the beginning of the same thing. – neva rocks taco beach! *video* – May 4, 2008
I don’t remember how long I’d been going to my favorite watering hole, Taco Beach, when I happened to be there on a night when Neva was performing. Nothing formal or flashy, just an acoustic guitar and amazing voice playing over the bar PA, taking the passing attention of the audience between their conversations and drinking. Doing a solo acoustic set in that setting was not for the faint of heart. The audience wasn’t overly obnoxious or disruptive, but I’ve seen pretty talented musicians stare down at the floor, reduced to mumbling through their songs because they couldn’t break through the conversational sound-barrier. Sometimes it seemed to take a whole band to grab the audience’s attention, or at least something electric and loud. Neva had a backing-band a couple of times, but most of the time it was just her and her guitar and she was able to get the whole place rockin’ in her direction.

I love this video. As a former 6th grade teacher who specialized in social studies and particularly making the Epic of Gilgamesh real to barrio kids who visited me years later to share with them more about Utnapishtim. This is so perfect as we discuss “fan fiction.” Thanks for the heads-up, Julia Mc.

Part three of my three part media merry-go-round: Creative Commons (Part 1: Copyright; Part 2: Fair-Use; Part 3: Creative Commons). After I’ve scared them to death with the all powerful Copyright, and confused them with the slippery Fair-Use, it’s time calm the nerves with a little common sense Creative Commons. I wish it was really that simple. So, as before the following is the ongoing working prototype for part 3:

screen-capture by Joe Bustillos (cc) 2009 from Relics: Star Trek TNG
I did something today that I haven’t done in a long time. I reconnected an external drive that had my collection of Star Trek TNG as part of consolidating my tech in preparation for the move. Anyway, I’ve pretty much spent the whole day playing episode after episode. And stayed out of chat. Ha!
