Buckethead – Big Sur Moon
An evening pause: The guitar playing here by Angela Maldonado proves that you don’t need a synthesizer and computer software to play this stuff.
Hat tip Insomnious.
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

Robert – I am wonderfully surprised to see a Buckethead song on your webpage. Buckethead will go down (arguably, of course) as one of the best musicians of all time. He has composed over 200 albums and his music covers the widest of ranges. He is a modern-day Mozart/Beethoven/etc. I hope you enjoy Big Sur Moon and I will share some of my other favorites with you as I go through my YouTube playlists.
I encourage anyone who enjoys classical or instrumental music to indulge in Buckethead. Some songs you will hate, but many you will undoubtedly love.
I know this is a cover version, but I highly recommend you explore original Buckethead music.
I’ve been listening to Brian since the early 90’s. He has always been wonderfully weird and amazingly awesome! I’ll say that he is the Chopin of guitar with a whole lot of Andy Kaufman! Here is one from his leather-face Praxis daze, circa ’95 and a short story about his DisneyLand obsession.
That’s all I’m gonna say here. ;)
