Having seen the 2017 "Great American Eclipse" from Cape Girardeau, #MO, I know that the four or five minutes of totality is worth all the effort it will take to get there. I do not know how worthwhile it will be to travel to see a partial or annular eclipse.
I see people grumbling about this, but the country should not make exceptions for people who are rich and famous. If they're going to require vaccination for entry, they should require it for everyone (with common sense exceptions for people with certain medical conditions).
I'm not saying either way whether Australia should have the requirement in the first place. That's rather immaterial here. Just because he's the world's leading professional tennis player does not mean he should be exempt from requirements that apply to everyone else.
Why all this talk about #Australia? Well, the CC Community Music Awards is looking for a judge for Oceania for next year. Australia is by far the largest nation in Oceania, a geographic region that includes #Australasia, #Melanesia, #Micronesia and #Polynesia.
Back in the day Tom Ray and I did a show called Music Manumit. Including Judd Madden (Music) and Isaac Graham, whose music I have featured here on previous days, we had 5 other Australians on the show in our 8-year run.

On Monday, I posted a Judd Madden album to showcase what #Australia has to offer in the way of music (I am not going to bother to check if the twitter bridge was working at that time).
I have no idea why the FMA is an IP address now. It's really sad where the Free Music Archive has gone. Tracks are still not able to uploaded.
Nonetheless, there is still a thriving Creative Commons music scene. There are podcasts like The Bugcast and CCHits.net. There are netlabels like blocSonic and Hypnotic Dirge Records. Many more listed at https://netlabelguide.com/
SoundCloud still allows CC music. There is ccMixter.org. My personal favorite place for looking for music these days (other than http://blocsonic.com, of course), is Bandcamp.
We don't have a plan for bringing the FMA back to its former glory, but we are doing our part at the CC Community Music Awards to keep #ccmusic alive and well.
We still need a volunteer judge for #Oceania, which includes Australia, #NewZealand, and the #PacificIslands. Would you be interested in helping out?

We have 2 more regions for which we are trying to get judges for the 2022 addition of CC Community Music Awards. #Oceania (basically, #Australia) & US Southwest.
No changes from yesterday's post. I don't have the time to follow-up with everyone individually, sadly. Please feel free to translate this as many of the regions left are predominantly not English-speaking.
It's that time again. We are looking for regional judges for the Creative Commons Community Music Awards. Please let me know if you would be interested in taking a region.
The regions we have available are as follows (two regions are already taken): Mid-West - #ND, #SD, #NE, #KS, #MO, #IA, #MN, #WI, #IL, #IN, #MI, #OH Southwest - #OK, #TX, #NM, #AZ
In the future, we would love to break the regions up more, but having smaller regions this year has proved unmanageable. How much of that is due to covid? Who knows.
I have been told in the past that once-a-day posts are fine but any more than that gets tiresome. I doubt I will post daily, but if I post about this too much, please let me know!
