  1. I usually don't care about the Oscars, but this years Documentary Short winner The Last Repair Shop caught my attention as I see toots about it. Since it's on YouTube I have searched for it and watched it.
    Such a well put together documentary. I can play any instrument nor do I know how to fix them and can't even read musical notes, but I totally can connect to the repairing/fixing aspect.

  2. Los Angeles is the recording capital of the world. Its school district provides freely repaired musical instruments to students, one of the last in America to do so.

  3. I just finally watched the now #Oscar-nominated #documentary, #TheLastRepairShop, available for free on #YouTube and now also airing on #DisneyPlus.

    It's beautiful, sad, deeply moving, and inspirational.

    I'm low-key snot crying and soul-smiling as I type this.

    It's a bitter irony that this work by the #LATimes Studio and #SearchlightPictures was nominated for an #AcademyAward the same day the L.A. Times #newspaper announced major #layoffs.

  4. It's criminal that the #LosAngeles #SchoolDistrict is the last major #school system in the #US that provides free #musical #instruments to its students.

    My siblings and I all had free access to instruments and instruction here in #SouthFlorida back in the 70's, and that seemed to be a nationwide standard in most places.

    I hate conservatism, neoliberalism and their selfishness and greed.
