  1. Undun - The Guess Who Burton Cummings sang lead and played the excellent flute solo. Randy Bachman's guitar comping behind the vocals is utterly fantastic IMHO. I wish I could do that!!! (although I play guitar, my primary instruments are saxophone and windsynth)
  2. When I was a little child and I heard Bei Mir Bist Du Shein played on mom's radio, I thought the Andrews Sisters were singing My Dear Mister Shane. Looks like I wasn't the only one: Bei Mir Bist Du Shein "My Dear Mr.Shane" by The Satin Dollz And the Andrews Sisters (who although they sang corny music by today's standards, they did it very, very well).
  3. I'm rather new here, and I immediately found a home. Helpful people with a sense of humor and a sense of community. Notes
  4. Dvořák - Symphony n°7 - Cleveland Orchestra, George Szell
  5. How does one follow that???? I Want Your $EX - George Michael
  6. I hope you have your laptop camera covered up. I use a band-aid
  7. The Arabian Nights, complete Ballet in two Acts - Fikret Amirov Actually I'm listening to this on my CD player, while I do some bookkeeping for my Norton Music Band-in-a-Box business. it's and incredible piece of music.
  8. "Three O’Clock in the Morning" - Paul Whiteman
  9. Sorry, I didn't read your post two days earlier. But if we both agree, than the government is definitely wrong and we are absolutely right.
  10. Looks interesting, I'll watch/listen to that later when I get two interrupted hours.
  11. Huh? Do I really need to? Those have been my 4 food groups for decades. Although sometimes I switch Becan for Pizza. Whatever
  12. "Have You Met Miss Jones?" - jazz standard written by Rodgers and Hart. I prefer the Stan Getz recording, probably because I'm a sax player and he was one of the greatest sax players of the 20th century
  13. Chuck Berry - Maybellene lyric association: Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford
  14. I appreciate all the different styles. Much of it I never even knew existed. How about my favorite Dr. John album. He got together with other New Orleans (NOLA) expats living in L.A. and recorded an entire album of New Orleans music in NOLA style and honoring previous NOLA artists. It's a fine example of a style of music that suffered greatly when Katrina leveled NOLA. It's well recorded and you can hear the fun these people had playing their roots music. Dr John - Gumbo (full album - I hope the full album thing works, I'm still on the first cut.)
  15. The 4 basic food groups that the government taught to the children long ago are wrong. Here is the correction: The four basic food groups Coffee (or tea) because life does not really exist before this beverage Chocolate Becan All other foods fall into this category. There you have it. Try to eat from all 4 basic food groups every day to live a happy life.
  16. Here is another very different take on a classic song by my favorite jazz vocalist: Eleanor Rigby - Mark Murphy
  17. Leilani and I have self-imposed dietary restrictions. It's an anti-inflammatory diet and it's very low in sugars, carbohydrates and foods with high arachidonic acid. Before the diet my inherited bursitis was so bad I couldn't walk 2 blocks without sitting and resting and I couldn't drive for more than 15 minutes or so without an ice pack on my hip. Now I walk 4 miles a day with zero pain and driving for hours doesn't bother me at all. It's worked just as well for a sports injury in my hand where arthritis set in. It's not an easy diet to follow, but it's better than being in pain or taking drugs which for these conditions have unfortunate side-effects. I got the diet from a doctor who told me to try it before resorting to anything else and it works. Notes PS as a side effect, I never get sick. This year I went off diet when I was in Vienna for a week, ate a bunch of desserts. I must have caught a cold on the plane. A few days later I got a cold that consisted of; one day runny nose, one day mild cough. That was it. I think the last time I caught anything was 15-20 years ago. I read something in Scientific American a few years ago explaining why, but I really don't remember exactly what it was. It's about some immune system cells that reside in your mucus membranes that inflammatory foods, especially sugars and starches suppress.
