I met Kaya twice, last Saturday and again today. I admit I forgot her name, had to dredge it from my photo feed. I thought I had posted this photo, on the left, the before, also known as Kaya1 to Plastic Alto but it disappeared. The whole internet/blog thing still creeps me out.

But not everyone agrees that I can draw a line between using Yahoo Mail and having a WordPress blog but otherwise NOT doing social media — not using the two or three biggest aps or companies.

Earthwise my main project beyond blogging – and I’d love to someday just write like Jonathan Yardley stressed to Jim Yardley as relayed to me circa 1981 — was started to push back against media when media was television. So its good if the reason my shows has small attendence is that I don’t promote on social media. Yet I sell 90 percent of tickets on EventBrite.

I wish Apple would just let me figure out how to use my handheld and not keep upgrading al the time. And I will keep saying that music and musicians did far more for Steve Jobs (and now, Laurene Powell Jobs managing his moneymoney) than he did for them.

Maureen Dowd in the Times says humans are becoming pets of the AI thing.

Come see 11 musicians and performers honor two dead ladies Lisa Fay Beatty and Nina Simone. And maybe you will see Kaya, Kaya3 or Kaya4, tabling at one of my shows. She’s from New Hamshire and her group called LEAD deals with kids being bullied.
