American classic and electric guitarist, and composer Liz Hogg kindly did a beautiful acoustic three songs live session for Mondo Bizarre Magazine.

Good morning. Today, our Middle of the Week Song is Éme e Moxila’ Estocolmo 1984, their 2023 song about Portuguese long distance runner Fernando Mamede, and his win in the 10 000 meters, in Stockholm, in 1984.
Fernando Mamede died yesterday at 74. Along with his club rival Carlos Lopes (both run for Sporting Clube de Portugal), he was part of mine adolescence, as well as a familiar track and field runner for millions of Portuguese.
A brilliant runner – he held the 10 000 metres world record (1984-1989) – it was hard for him to win major competition, because he didn’t do well under pressure.
Éme e Moxila’ Estocolmo 1984 tells the story of how Fernando Mamede won the 10 000 in Stockholm, in 1984, ahead of Carlos Lopes, that got second place. That day, Fernando Mamede become a world winner in athletics, a first for Portuguese athletics.

Hi with (Me Tomorrow) by Tufusmell. Have a nice afternoon.
The Guitar, Alchemy, The Star, Neptune, and Listening Again at The Polymath sees me reflecting on the Guitar, Alchemy, The Star, and revisiting large electro-acoustic works. A personal perspective as Neptune moves into Aries, opening new creative and perceptual pathways that you can read at The Polymath site.
When You Meet Someone Who Dissociates – And You Don’t Know It at The Listening Room HQ is a personal reflection on encountering dissociation from the outside. How it feels when someone shifts state without awareness. The disorientation that can arise when shared presence and memory suddenly break for the person witnessing it. You can read it here.
