Clarence Gatemouth Brown – Leftover Blues
An evening pause: Very nice. Hat tip Judd Clark.
A question for my readers: Is the embedded video below interrupted with ads?
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

Mr. Z.,
-watched this straight through with no inserted adverts, just the occasional banner ad at the bottom.
In general, YT doesn’t necessarily deliver ads in video streamed through a 3rd-party, even if it’s monetized at YT. Depends on what kind of traffic the 3rd-party generates for them and how easily they can characterize your audience.
If I watched on the YT platform, I would definitely expect inserted ads. It is a licensed piece of music and royalties are being paid to someone.
Wayne: Your experience backs up similar previous embedded videos, where I see the ads inserted when I watch on youtube, but my readers who watch here do not. I just wished this to be confirmed again.
User Report:
NO ads…
Note: I occasionally use your channel to rewatch performances inorder to Eliminate the ads….
Mr. Z.,
Ditto on Alton’s report–no inserted ads when played at YT.
Look at–>
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/132596?hl=en
“YouTube works diligently so that our advertisers’ brands appear on sites that reflect our respective core values. Our systems closely evaluate websites and their content against various factors when finding out whether to turn on In-stream ads on YouTube embeds.”
“Ads will not always show on monetized videos. There may not always be an ad available at the time of viewing.”
Tangentially–
Recently started spending a lot of time at Rumble and was sorta disenchanted to discover that ALL their adverts are managed and delivered through the YouTube/Google advertising-auction system.
They are apparently working on their own internal ad-management system, but for now, advertising goes through Google to get on Rumble.
Nope, no intrusive add inturuptions on the Firefox browser.
Exellent Music, My Sincere Thanks to Judd Clark.
Since i started reading Bob’s page, which i read for the Mars and space telescope stuff, i have been alerted to more music that’s worth buying than in at least the previous ten years. Hopefully, i can return the favor.
Mr. Brown died in 2005, his bio is worth reading. i was thinking just the other day, considering the musicians we have lost in the last few years, how marvelous it is that we have recordings, not only audio, but video, that allow us to relive some small (but important) parts of their lives.
