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?
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
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–>

“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.
