You have a good point there. Notes

We play this one every once in a great while. Comin' Home Baby - Herbie Mann

We need more holidays, especially the kind where hiring live music is part of the celebration!!! I have no problem with Juneteenth, but I think the name is rather informal and thus not solemn enough. I think it should be called Emancipation Day. IMO, that change would add more importance to the name and remind everybody what it is really all about. I had no plans for the day, perhaps next year. Insights and incites by Notes

"Going Up The Country" - Canned Heat

Perhaps some ruminating about illuminating?

Let's Get It On - Marvin Gaye (triple word score)

Better than illiteration

Make Me A Memory (Sad Samba) - Grover Washington, Jr. A song we occasionally play on a gig if we have a dinner set before the dance music.

I used to love a lava lamp but later I lost that love and was to lazy to even light the lamp, so it languished, unlit, in a little corner of the lending library.

I'm more of a 'don't care' person

Tempus Fugit - Stan Getz Quartet

Isle of the Dead - Sergei Rachmaninoff -- Mikhail Pletnev Russian National Orchestra

My pleasure. That was the first version of Charade I ever found interesting. One of my tests of a well crafted song is that it will stand up to completely different treatments. Don't get me wrong, I like tons of music that won't stand up to that test, but I have a special appreciation for those that do. I like a lot of Mancini work, especially when he was doing Cool School era jazz like this. The Brothers Go To Mothers - Henry Mancini
