Late night open thread

It does seem as though YouTube and Blogger, the platform the Oscoda City Desk runs on, are no longer compatible. Johnny has tried 3 or 4 ways to make the YouTube videos show up as they have before but no luck. If there is no chance to post videos don't worry loyal readers, Johnny has a couple ideas on how to keep the music going even without it being embedded. Friday is also Johnny's group's move night so perhaps Friday's may involve film discussion as well. 

It'll be something or other, make book on that.

Time for Oscoda, After Dark

Johnny will have to do some research but it looks as though YouTube has dropped support for Blogger when it comes to being able to post videos from YouTube. That would sure put a wrench into the Music Series. Like Johnny says he'll look to see what can be done but for tonight anyway no Music Series.
