As the Banjoree 2007 approaches, I have gone back to look at the webpages of some of the people I met at the event in 2005.

One guy I hope shows up again next year goes by the name of "nuka" online. He is an American who lives in Germany. Check out his homepage at http://www.nukasbanjopage.com/. He has several videos under the "watch" link. He plays a really, really mean version of Whoa, Mule, Whoa you simply have to see and hear.

I have posted some comments on the war in Iraq at the ProgBlog under http://tpablog.twoday.net/stories/3635955/.

Over at my other blog I am having trouble figuring out the source of some very good news. If you know how to track backlinks or otherwise help me figure out why sites-of-memory.de is suddenly getting more than ten times as many hits as a day ago - apparently scattered over numerous pages - then please get in touch with me.
