One of the main reason I spend so much time in DUMA is that I learn so much here

1. Awww, Sarge, you're welcome - and thank you for

the kind words and for all your posts here, which I've enjoyed and learned from. They're greatly appreciated.

I hope this group is making the day brighter for DUers, as often as possible.

I just got back online after a long day worrying about an older relative's health and relaying updates to family members, and I was looking forward to finding good music to listen to here, maybe something new which is always a treat...and this very nice message was a lovely surprise. Makes my day.

And thank you for posting that Golden Earring song.

You know I love live performance videos, too, and I think I'll add video from the November 2019 concert that unfortunately was their last - due to Covid and then guitarist George Kooymans being diagnosed with ALS - to the end of this message.

I'll be posting a message about a long documentary (no, not about Golden Earring) either later tonight or tomorrow morning (I still haven't finished watching it), and I hope it will make the weekend a bit more enjoyable for anyone here who hasn't already seen it and might want to.

Here's that video of Golden Earring, all in their early 70s by then, with a great live performance of "Liquid Soul" (and this is completely live, since it was recorded by a fan that night and uploaded to YouTube within hours):
