Beuatiful piece of music. Critics who also perform are a rare and undervalued species.
And this guy had a magic touch on that clarinet.
I loved this guy. Lots of stuff on YouTube at various festivals. Really a great player.
Lovely.
Very much so. And he played with Louis.
I listened to this earlier today, but didn’t get a chance to comment. I liked it. You may wonder why I put that first sentence, and this one in there, but I wanted to remind you that I like to talk. 😉
Me drunk. Me no can talk. Haha. Glad you liked. I have a big soft spot for all these old time jazz and blues guys, not to mention the Sinatra’s and Martin’s of the world. They were(and are) great. . Have great evening.
You too, and I love the rat pack.
I’ll be looking up some bad songs for you. I’m sure the lady is a tramp could qualify.
Why? Does Hobs not like dice games?
Totally. I will post it. I think I’ll have bad songs on Tuesdays. Confession Sundays, OAA Monday’s, music Tuesday. It will help me keep up with things. I should do good songs on the good blog too, or would that be confusing?
Nope. Music is good. Never confusing. I see you are rounding into things nicely. I’ll take a closer look in the morning at your new stuff. Company just arrived. Signing off. And do you like dice?
Thanks, have fun, and of course. Have a good night John.
