I don't rake, I let the leaves return to the earth slowly as nature intended. But the Northeast edge of Tropical Storm Eta came through and tomorrow I'll have to collect dozens of fallen palm fronds. Not complaining, the strongest gusts we had were around 60mph. We got a lot of rain, but at 32' above sea level, I'm on top of the Florida Alps. Even better, we didn't lose electric power, so the becan in the fridge isn't spoiled. I think I'll have some tomorrow.

Brazilian Romance - Sarah Vaughan with Milton Nascimento (full album) This is not your typical Sarah Vaughan album. IMO it shows a delightful side of her talent that I really enjoy.

"So Many Stars" - Sarah Vaughan

Money troubles???

Perhaps these gals can help And to follow the Steve's Metal Gods post / Steel = Metal Reggae Fever - Steel Pulse

A tropical storm is headed close to us (we'll probably get a fringe of it for a few days unless current predictions are wrong. So I'll listen closely to see if the wind really does cry Mary. "The Wind Cries Mary" - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Doesn't matter, it's all just for fun.

Video unavailable - sorry Steve so I'll follow the post by ||:pwal:|| <- repeat signs Mr. Sandman - The Chordettes I loved this song when I was a wee child

"Heat Wave" - Cal Tjader & Carmen McRae I nice take on this jazz classic - IMO the entire album is nice.

Kurski Funk - Paul Winter with the Dmitri Pokrovsky Singers

'tis the season "Vote For Me" - Joe Walsh

Jesus Just Left Chicago - ZZ Top

You might like the entire album. IMO there isn't a bad song on it. He does a reading by Kerouac from in this Charlie Parker classic. I believe the words to the song itself are by King Pleasure, and I think the Kerouac reading is from "On The Road" Parker's Mood - Mark Murphy & The Muse All-Stars with Richie Cole on alto sax (Richie is one of my favorite bop alto players).

Surfers Rule - The Beach Boys

Joy Spring - Clifford Brown (He wrote it for his wife)

A great spoof of the Bond flicks.

Goodbye Porkpie Hat - Mark Murphy A Charles Mingus song dedicated to tenor saxophonist Lester Young with words added by Joni Mitchell and IMO Improved by vocalist Mark Murphy with alto saxophonist Richie Cole and the Muse All-Stars backing him up.

Violets For Your Furs - John Coltrane John Coltrane's take on this song originally recorded by the Tommy Dorsey orchestra with Frank Sinatra on vocals. Actually I like the Shirley Horn version better, but I posted that one a few months ago.

I think they should just get rid of Daylight Savings Time and keep Standard Time. The sun is supposed to be at the zenith in the sky at noon. Millions of sundials can't be wrong. :D

"Wild Weekend" - The Rockin' Rebels I learned this song when I was a little kid.

Arrived on Halloween. It's BOO-Tiful Bapu. I hope she plays as good as she looks.

Without a gig :( Yoko says "Oh No!"
