Asked Alexa to randomly play some Pat Travers. Didn't realize he did an album of covers. Last song was Green Eyed Lady which was great. Just finishing up a killer version of The Doors' The End.

EDIT: Black Betty now. I gotta download this LP.

I saw Pat at a dive bar where a friend of mine opened up for him. He had this fan out in front of him that would blow his hair back during his entire set. Looked exactly like this:

"Alexa, tell me a joke"

I populate the house with Sonos speakers.
I buy them when they're on sale, but this
last Amazon sale only pushed the ones

talking to inanimate objects yet.
