Humming Brrrr
“On Jan. 27, 2021, water melted off of Tammy Shriver’s rooftop in Bangor, dripped onto the tree branches below, then refroze in the shape of a hummingbird.”
“A little bit of sunshine that day melted the hummingbird somewhat, transforming it into a different bird.”

Saturday Matinee – The Crow, Samantha Fish & Unknown Hinson
The Crow (2022) is a film short created by Glenn Marshall Neural Art.
In December 2017 Samantha Fish ripped into the classic Crow Jane.
“Its roots lay in the Piedmont region of Virginia and North and South Carolina. Rev. Gary Davis was known to perform it during the 1920’s, and the first recording was made in 1927 by guitarist Julius Daniels.”
Not sure what Crow Jane did to deserve being killed.
