@dogtrax I just can't believe I have never heard of Kamasi before....Everything I have listened too so far has been amazing. Not jazz...but also not not jazz...
@francesbell Yeah I walked away from Mendeley when Elsevier bought them and decided to own my reading collection, moved everything to my server and then tag and bookmark readings here https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/content/bookmarkedpages/
