Not gp. I use it as I'm writing music, so all my ideas, repeats, mistakes, rewinds, instrument changes, etc etc are broadcast. I'll mute and un'utenza other musicians as i feel.

The current US administration would up the choppers-ante, and warthog the anti-current no king [trump] protesters. The Iranians would probably provide tea, biscuits and free medical.
