Another sunny morning in The Shire. It's cold, but Spring is in the air...
There's a lot of hubbub around the intertubes, privacy and hacking these days. The Man has supposedly infiltrated Lulzsec. Meanwhile, it's all good and legal for info mining by capitalists to go on unchecked.
All about the new age of nonprivacy and what's really going on online

And now for something completely different. Rachel Flowers (for those who don't know her, she is a blind, teenaged musical genius), got to try out the new modulated Moog for Keith Emerson.

Then Rachel plays the full Trilogy; she really is incredible. I can't say that too many times.

Lawless- I've seen her play the flute with one hand while playing keyboards with the other! She's mind-blowing!

And did you see how beautiful her hands are (sitting on own stubby little paws). Supremely talented and beautiful.
EC- She's a prodigy. Yes, she is a beautiful girl, hands and all. And a genius talent.
