Come Away With Me -- October 25, 2022

What do Florida, Alabama, Texas, and California have in common? One can enjoy being barefoot in October.

AEP raises its dividend from 78 cent st 83 cents.

Visa raises its dividend from 37.5 cents to 45 cents. Wow.

From Jann, p. 122:

Hendrix was the first star of the new rock era to die from drugs, at twenty-seven years old. Janis Joplin, also twenty-seven, died two weeks after Jim. Brian Jones had mysteriously drowned in his swimming pool outside London a year earlier. He too was twenty-seven. Soon enough Jim Morrison would also flame out at twenty-seven. Ron "Pigpen"McKiernan, the blues voice of the Grateful Dead, would shortly die at twenty-seven. Robert Johnson himself died at twenty-seven. Maybe it had to do with the deal with the devil when they were at the crossroads.

Brian Jones: 

Lewis Brian Hopkin Jones (28 February 1942 – 3 July 1969) was an English multi-instrumentalist and singer best known as the founder, rhythm/lead guitarist, and original leader of the [English band] Rolling Stones. 

Initially a guitarist, he went on to provide backing vocals and played a wide variety of instruments on Rolling Stones recordings and in concerts.

On my mind: come away with me, Nora Jones.
