  1. Another performance that really sells the lyrics of the song. I think of Tom Jones as the UK's Elvis Presley. A great natural singer and a hit with the girls. Ben E King did a very good job on this song, Tom Jones did a great job on this song. I (Who Have Nothing) - Tom Jones
  2. I'm no Barbra Streisand fan but I'm not anti-Barbra either. This is an early work by her, it's passionate, nuanced, and the arrangement behind her is terrific. Her phrasing, emotional take represents the lyrics to the song. She brought it to a nice climax, you can hear the sexual excitement one touch incited. She nailed it on this one. He Touched Me - Barbra Streisand
  3. As long as the adults are consenting, it's all good.
  4. Too much sax and violins? Nah. You can never have too much sax and violins.
  5. My second all-time favorite tenor sax player Gibraltar - Stanley Turrentine
  6. Tempus Fugit - The Stan Getz Quartet Stan is my all-time favorite jazz tenor sax player
  7. There is more than one right way to enjoy music. I think "classical" is an acquired taste. I played it in school when I was young, but blues and rock n roll were more fun. I still liked classical but didn't listen. Then I got into a jazz for recreational listening. Eventually went back to classics. I still enjoy just about anything but Bagpipes and Rap, and listen to a variety, but when it comes to serious listening, a nice symphony does it for me. But it's not for everyone, and that's OK. Neither is rap or bagpipe music. ;)
  8. Valentine - Jim Brickman & Martina McBride We used to play this song when it was semi-popular. It was requested by a regular customer. Leilani does a great job singing it no longer resonates with the crowd. Some songs are disposable.
  9. Hmm seems to be a classical day for me. Slovak Suite - Vítězslav Novák This is not the version I have on my CD player, but it's the same piece of music.
  10. Rhythm is a weirdly spelled word Miami's Own Gloria Estefan - Rhythm Is Gonna Get You
  11. And I might post it again. I do listen to songs more than once. ? Here is a nice symphony by a romantic Russian master. I don't think I've posted this one before, and it'll keep me entertained for about a half hour Symphony #2 (Antar) - Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
  12. I think I'll cook a burger on the grill with cheese and becan for lunch today.
  13. Nah, it goes to the diner after the gig, and then the gas tank to get home.
  14. Mars and Venus? To tell you the truth, I don't remember. My captors (so-called parents) often lied to me. They told me the moon was made of green cheese, if I cross my eyes they would get stuck that way, and if I keep playing with it I'd go blind etc., so I can't believe that story about the birds and the bees. As for Leilani and I -- No kids, no pool, no pets, no debts, no regrets. But no harm if we keep trying :D Notes
  15. Well IMHO it wasn't the best song by The Residents. Here is one of my favorite Paul Desmond songs. Dave Brubeck and the others do a fine job backing him up Blue Rondo à la Turk - The Dave Brubeck Quartet That was back when the world was in black and white
  16. The raccoons in my yard are naked. Other than masks over their eyes. Obviously to hide their identities. (not hiding their t*tties). Streakers I presume. Fortunately I don't have any children to be exposed to animal nakedness.
