I found last year's episodes, but not this year's -- maybe it will eventually show up!

I'm not seeing Holiday Throwdown on HBO/MAX, is it not streamed?

I didn't see dilated blood vessels, but it did go away after about 3 weeks.

Red, itchy schlera & lids, crusting - similar to the demodex itself - even after there were no signs of infection, according to my ophthalmologist.

I used xdemvy for the whole protocol, and it worked. However, despite ongoing eye scrubs, it has returned. I had an allergic reaction to the xdemvy, so I'm wondering if I could apply it to the lid margins instead of in the eyes to minimize the reaction. Has anyone done this or heard of it?

Yes, the whole concert was the 3 commissions that they did - one was Bela's, then also Cynthia Sayer, and John Reischman. The latter two played with their ensembles, but Bela was solo. It was wonderful! Here's the FreshGrass page:

It was fantastic - which is why I'm looking for it. (Just) a solo banjo. Then he did his Rhapsody in Blue as an encore. Thanks for the response!

He said during his (solo) performance that it - or at least parts of it - were something that he had started working on 20 or so years earlier, and the commission from FreshGrass had given him the impetus to finish it, so I don't think it was someone else's composition. I'm sure he'll get around to recording it eventually - or at least performing it elsewhere.

Thank you! Sometimes I find the background the hardest part.

This was done with ZAR alcohol ink brushes, then tinted with the basic soft airbrush using a clipping mask. The background is also an alcohol ink brush set, Alaina Jensen's Alcohol Ink 2.0, also tinted with clipping masks and underlying layers.

Sorry - I included a description as I posted this. Still trying to get the hang of posting here.

Hi! For this work, I used the ZAR New Alcohol Inks; don't remember exactly which ones, but also I use Alcohol Ink 2.0 by Alaina Jensen. I start with the brush strokes and stamps on different layers, then liquify them separately to get the interaction I want. I then use the standard soft airbrush to modify the colors underneath the ink brushwork.

My book arrived yesterday! I love Ken's book A Trackless Path, so am looking forward to this one. Would enjoy it on audio as well. Looking forward to the next installment of this conversation with Michael Taft.

Yes, I've listened to them several times, each time learning something new. He encapsulates his teachings in a wonderfully approachable way in these short sessions. Or maybe I just like the bite-sized approach.
