First music of the day

Funny Story about the record, this picture was taken in the room/bedroom Bill rented and where he has a complete Piano in it, for playing, practicing and writting! he could barely have a place to sleep in this room with the piano in. His and on the picture are on the Piano, where the keyboard was near the windows!

Anyway, another warm day, thunder storm last night. My work outside are on slow motion to humid and exhausting trying to finish building my little heaven garden for me and my wife!

A bit tire of all dress day, for the last week, we have sun; cloud; rain; ice and repeat everyday! lucky to us, flood is more rare in the middle of nowhere!

Here’s my weather report: It’s so hot, I saw a robin dipping it’s worm in Nestea. (Johnny carson).
I woke up with Stolen Moments in my head, so only one thing to do…

While searching to had it, to my wish list, found there a second one!

:thinking:

Seems about right for today, and yes we are having weather as well. Amazing.

Now about that Blue Mitchell, time for me to dig out my LP versions of each. Covered Oliver Nelson on Monday.

Mary Lattimore - harps


Anoushka Shankar - Chapter I: Forever, For Now


“The Star Spangled Banner” (Live)

Relieved to discover the internet and cable are back. . . lost them in a storm last night. Power flickered on and off three times but held. Tobi the Super Mutt was not happy–between storms and fireworks in Chardon six minutes away he had a very anxious evening.

Nice morning right now though!

Starting off wtih Miles Davis, the iffily titled “Birth of the blue” on Analogue Productions SACD. Fantastic music in fantastic sound.

On to another Miles Davis SACD, “Volume 1” Blue Note Japan lp facsimile SACD 2026

GREAT sound!

This ties in with todays planned activity, a hike with the Bison in the Nachusa Grasslands. Otta here…

Beautiful area!

those Count Basie box set that was recommended here, could past a day without listening a CD!

i was wondering? if this one is a good one of the count?

Enjoy the SQ this morning with this one before the big cook out.

Count Basie on Roulette, live or studio, is great stuff. Wonderful performances, and Roulette recorded them very well.

A hot and noisey night–people like their fireworks out in the country. The dog was very uncomfortable for a few hours.

Starting off with Frankie Trumbauer, “1936 - 1940” Chronogical Classics cd. I forgot that Jack Teagarden was on this one!

a 5th for the 5th ,

Yesterday brought a break in the heat and a full day of in-laws that was fun. We also got thunderstorms again. . . price one pays for a little coolness this summer.

As I finished off my listening yesterday with music composed by Jobim, I’m starting off this morning in a similar manner.

Bass, Producer – Rodolfo Stroeter
Composed By – Aluísio de Oliveira, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gerry Mulliga, or Joyce

Revisiting one of the highlights of the years, the Super Deluxe box set of Yes, “Tales from Topographic Oceans” . . . cd 8, “Rareities”

This disc contains:

“The Revealing Science Of God (Dance Of The Dawn)” – In Progress

“The Ancient (Giants Under The Sun)” – In Progress 2
