Julia Nunes and the new music biz
Ok, so those of you who are way more hip than me have probably discovered her already but this young woman has nearly 35,000 subscribers on youtube and over 690,000 plays. I know people who've played for decades without being exposed to that many people. She's creative & talented and alright, the fact that she's 19 and cute as heck probably ain't hurtin' her either. But I'll tell you, while lots of us sit around discussing where the music business is going, this is what's happening out there.

Canal Freight Revival
Unfortunately it seems likely that this sort of traffic would mostly divert up the Oswego canal into Lake Ontario. From there the Welland is still available to get further West. Would be neat to see a bunch of big barge traffic coming down through Black Rock though.
