I posted about this chap a while back. He’s an amazing multi-instrumentalist who specialises in one-man instrumental tributes to some of the classic 70s bands. This time he has taken on one of my own favourite beat combos – Yes. This is pretty special. If you have 19 minutes to spare whilst in lockdown, it’s worth making the time.

Saint-Saens And His Organ
This is just legendary, and from my adopted home town. I am very, very proud.
Luna
Amazing moon this evening. Taken with my Nikon P1000, steadied on a railing off our deck.
Australian Bush Fires
There’s a Westerly blowing the smoke from the Australian bush fires over New Zealand at the moment. The light is a very strange yellow colour. This picture doesn’t really do it justice.
All That Glitters
I love this guy.

Not A Leaf
Adorable.
Vogelkop
Truly bizarre. Utterly wondrous.
Hard Boiled Eggs And Nuts
I’ve loved these two since I was very young. Delighted to see they are well-represented on Youtube.
Also check out Their First Mistake – while known for the visual comedy, the dialogue is full of great lines – part hilarity, part pathos.
What The Ctenophore Says About The Evolution Of Intelligence
It meant that the nervous system of the ctenophore had evolved from the ground up, using a different set of molecules and genes than any other animal known on Earth. It was a classic case of convergence: the lineage of ctenophores had evolved a nervous system using whatever genetic starting materials were available. In a sense, it was an alien nervous system – evolved separately from the rest of the animal kingdom.
