I couldn't resist combining down and town Downtown - Petula Clark

Pata Pata - Miriam Makeba I haven't heard this one in years. I heard part of this on the radio in an office, and so now I need to hear the rest.

Mannish Boy - Muddy Waters

To fret or not to fret - Bapu knows the answer

Another Double Bass for Bapu

What Is This Thing Called Love - Stan Getz

I was going through some old pictures and putting the better ones up at AdobeStock, hopefully to make a few pennies commission, when I found this one. A few years ago, Mrs. Notes and I visited the Czech Republic. Before we left, we bought first row balcony tickets for Dvorak's Opera, Rusalka. When we got there, someone was in our seats. We flagged down an usher, who found someone with authority for us. She assured us she would fund seats for us. It turned out she found seats in the very first row of the theater. I just leaned over the rail, looked into the pit, and snapped this one. We were so close we could hear the cast breathing. We also heard the Czech Philharmonic and the Prague Symphony Orchestra but didn't luck out with front row seats on those nights. But the music was delightful. I hope it doesn't give Bapu GAS. We were sitting in the balcony for this one. A delightful symphony never played in the USA.

When the Levee Breaks - Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie When it breaks, you'll be underwater for sure

They nuked the nuke post.

They're Red Hot - Robert Johnson lyrics: Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got'em for sale Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got'em for sale

I guess we're sitting on the Johns 😉 Giant Steps - John Coltrane

Walking On Sunshine - Katrina & The Waves Fun song. When we play it for the 1980s music lovers, it always goes over well.

Titi Wintetrstein Quartett - For Babs IMO Some real nice "Gypsy" guitar on this one

Teen Town - Weather Report I played in the Teen Town 'club' that Jaco also played in (Boca Raton, Florida). We all did back then. It was a teen club in an old abandoned WWII army training barracks. There were some apartments nearby, they were also leftover from the Army base. It's all gone now, though. As Boca grew, the land got valuable, and more modern, permanent buildings took its place. I also gigged with Jaco's first bass teacher. He told me that Jaco learned so fast, in a few months there was nothing left to show him.

Walkin' - Stanley Turrentine One of my all-time favorite tenor sax players

Days Of Wine And Roses - Herb Ellis
