    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 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.

            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?
