Before the crowbar was invented Crows had to drink at home.

I sued the airline for losing my luggage. I lost my case.

Autumn In New York - Billie Holiday I like Billie, but in small doses.

Before We Lose Tomorrow (Antes Que Seja Tarde) - Mark Murphy A nice interpretation of Ivan Lins, a find Brazilian composer with some Brazilian musicians as well.

Did you hear about the tire dealer that had a blowout sale?

"Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" - Neil Diamond I think it's his best song. Musically IMO it borders on fine art, and the studio musicians (I assume The Wrecking Crew) did a fantastic job.

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" - Rolling Stones

Electric Avenue - Eddy Grant

Danse Macabre - Camille Saint-Saëns (my favorite French composer and I think it relates to the videos Vernon and Wibbles offered)

Don't ya hate those who hog the shallow end of the pool? What we need is a pool shark.

I like Christmas music. Every non COVID year I play a dozen holiday parties. I get to see old friend/clients who hire us every year, the women look good dressed in red, the mood is festive, I get to play music all night, and at the end of the night they pay me money. What can be wrong with that? Notes

Actually I think I'm a very good cowbell and tambourine player. Most of the time it's tambourine, but I play the cowbell whenever the moo-d strikes me. And that ain't no bull (I'm tooting my own horn). OK maybe it is bull, but I got a couple of puns in.

The feather dancer was rushed to the hospital. Her boa constricted her.

Pistol Packin' Mama - The Andrews Sisters with Bing Crosby

Highway Star - Deep Purple

I started on drums, switched to sax. On the road with rock bands I learned to cover parts with bass, keys, and rhythm guitar for those songs where the songwriter didn't have the ultimate wisdom to include a sax part. Later I taught myself vocals, wind synth, and my latest, lead guitar. I played bass for a while in the psychedelic era when saxes were not in demand, and even played bass for Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon for a short series of concerts. Bass is a fun instrument too. I think the sax will do a lot of things the guitar cannot do, but then the guitar will do a lot of things the sax won't do. Sax will always be my primary instrument, so if it makes a comeback in pop music, I'll be very happy about that. Notes

The great Annie Ross just died, so here is some Lambert, Hendricks and Ross for today: Twisted - Lambert, Hendricks & Ross

If you don't know the difference between there, their and they're, your an idiot.

I love me some Muddy Waters music. Muddy wrote this song that is a take off of "I'm A Man" by Bo Diddley. It's close but far enough so that he didn't pay royalties to Bo or get sued for plagiarism (as far as I know). So I present the Bo Diddley song but done by one of my favorite 1960s guitar bands, The Yardbirds (and a live cut I couldn't get to embed but I like the studio version better) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLIzRBelEf8

The video looks more underwater than underworld ? so,,,, Aqualung - Jethro Tull

Organic Colombian, medium roast, whole bean ground at home, stevia sweetner and organic heavy whipping cream. Goes great with becan and eggs. The reason why I started grinding the coffee myself is because I read a test where along with the ground coffee were ground roach and other insect parts. It's legal up to 10% in volume, but the tests ran about 5%. The bugs get in the huge storage vats and get ground with the coffee. Now I'm no vegetarian and don't mind a little extra protein now and then, but I'm paying for coffee. It's like getting stems and seeds in your weed. Notes

Changes - Yes

With me, any hair is a good hair day. :D
