  1. Straight, No Chaser - Thelonious Monk
  2. The Lady Is A Tramp - Buddy Greco It's dated, but still good, and the way Buddy accompanied himself on the piano is brilliant.
  3. We haven't gigged since COVID, but when we do gig, occasionally someone wants to use a mic. We have an extra mic for them to use. Nobody uses our vocal mics but us. It's not that we're antisocial, it's just they might be coming down with a cold and not even know it. If we pick it up, it could affect our ability to sing on a future gig.

  4. I didn't think wearing orthopedic shoes would help, but I stand corrected.
  5. Electricity = Power Some Like It Hot - Power Station
  6. I Thought About You (A Tribute To Chet Baker) - Eliane Elias (full album) Great jazz singer/pianist.
  7. How about the old English sports car tribute band MGB, Gee!
  8. "The Lady Wants To Know" - Michael Franks Smooth jazz before it had a name. I like it OK, although I wouldn't want a steady diet of it. I haven't heard this one in years. A song with lyrics: Daddy's just like Coltrane Baby's just like Miles Can't be all bad
  9. "Shake Your Money Maker" - Elmore James
  10. Rip Hilton Valentine. Here is my favorite cover of the Screaming Jay Hawkins song... I Put A Spell On You - Animals
  11. Halloween Spooks - Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross
  12. I'm OK with the Bee Gees, and I'm also OK with silly foolishness.
  13. Un-break my Heart - Toni Braxton (I like this song)
  14. And at least a dozen rock/pop songs 'borrowed' melodies from famous classical composers like Bach, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Gliere and others. A lot of contemporary country music is so rock n roll that I don't call it country anymore, instead I just call it Nashville. Music. A lot of music called jazz today is simply instrumental rock n roll. A lot of rock leans towards jazz. Genres are for people who sell music. The lines between the genres are definitely blurred. But IMO there is no such thing as a jazz chord. Insights and incites by Notes
  15. Sounds like the same song to me as well, and did when my big sister was controlling the radio. "Build Me Up Buttercup" - Foundations
  16. Q. What do dentists call their x-rays? A. Tooth pics
