Thank you, Thank you.

Who could have known that the last song of the last 2019 Island Music Night would be so Long It’s Been Good to Know Ya ?
Well, we just couldn’t see an easy way to put together the Island Music Night again. Too many moving parts. So, we came up with Waves On Water Pop Up Concerts - kind of a moveable musical feast. 45 minutes long, mostly acoustic, island performers in different locations, usually start 5:30. If you go to one, just bring what you’d take to the beach (chair, snack, beverage etc)
Sara has performed a number of times on the island.
We hope to have her back next year.
Charlie Chaplin wrote this in 1954.
Wikipedia
Chaplin, who composed the song, was inspired by Puccini's Tosca.[1] John Turner and Geoffrey Parsonsadded the lyrics and title in 1954.[2] In the lyrics, based on lines and themes from the film, the singer is telling the listener to cheer up and that there is always a bright tomorrow, just as long as they smile.
"Smile" has become a popular standard since its original use in Chaplin's film and has been recorded by numerous artists
You can find Sara performing some of her own music on iTunes and here

Watch these pros make a magical impromptu musical moment. Les was 92 at the time and could still use his unique technique to coax beauty from the guitar named after him.
We lost Olivia’s extraordinary voice and style, only a few weeks ago.
This has some cool tools for working out your thoughts. It’s even better when you collaborate in real time or offline ! You might have to update your systems.
It’s pretty easy

No one wrote as many good harmonies as Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys.
As summer winds down, listen to all that is going on with the multi part background.

Sometimes, slow internet isn’t because of the amount being delivered from your provider. It just isn’t being distributed well, within your house.
Most people have a single router which all devices share. Depending on your distance from the router and the construction of your house, your signal may diminish quickly.
A mesh router system, spreads the internet, within your house. It takes the signal from your existing router and sends it to small routers, throughout your house. The signal can be stronger and they also optimize the traffic activity. That can be important with numerous devices (computer, iPads, phones, TV and smart home devices) all competing for bandwidth.
You can check with your internet to see what they think of Mesh Routers.
Here’s how to make an emergency call on all iPhoness when there is cell service
If you have an iPhone 14, you can send via satellite when there is no cell service (just saved a family in Maui)
Robbie wrote and performed some incredible songs. Many are woven into the island’s musical fabric. And, it seems, the world.

The finished product

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide;
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around."
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
Catch a cannon ball now, t'take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time.
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
