Reading the paper, listening to John Coltrane's Lush Life...Besides Beatles and Beach Boys, George W says he listens to 'Dan' McLean on his iPod; perhaps W should have considered driving his Chevy to the levee...(no Let the Mighty Eagle Soar?)....be sure to view JibJab.com's year end roundup
For those who haven't, it's about time to listen to the White Stripes' Get Behind Me, Satan; Jack and Meg are just way too good to ignore, even if the last 'rock' album you took out was your scratchy old Buffalo Springfield Retrospective (or was it Michael Jackson's Thriller ?)....
Listening to King Pleasure Sings/Annie Ross Sings....
Hi Judy....go put on Johnny K Has the Blues This Christmas...
Listening to Abbey Lincoln's Who Used to Dance; she does a marvelous take on Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man on this CD. I saw Ms. Lincoln at the Hartford Holiday Inn in the early 80's in a Sunday evening Hartford Jazz Society concert (when I was a member). She has wonderfully unique song phrasing. Try her (you can get a nice selection at Integrity 'N Music in Wethersfield).
Continuing on to Dr. John's Duke Elegant - performing the music of Duke Ellington (an unusual, brilliant interpretation of Sir Duke)
Email from Johnny Gumbo: "How 'bout a review of Long Road Home, collection of John Fogerty and CCR tunes now that the 35 year old feud is over with Fantasy Records? I'd do it, but who has the time!" - Well, Gumbo, make time and share with us. Gumbo composed a mighty fine review of the Willie Nelson concert he attended at the Palace in Waterbury last month. He now has me in the mood for some John Fogerty - slapping on Blue Moon Swamp - ooooooooo, let the blueboy play!
Postal delivery for Garrett from Amazon.com - 2 CDs - 1)Bob Dylan Self-titled and 2) Bedouin Soundclash Sounding a Mosaic ....think Sting singing reggae...kinda
