Message In A Bottle - Police

becan and cheese sandwich (grilled in becan fat and butter)

"Up The Ladder To The Roof" - The Supremes (Without Diana Ross, sound-alike Jean Terrel did a nice job.) I did some gigging at Motown in the late 1960s so I have a warm spot of Motown in it's Detroit days.

Ain't That A Bitch - Johnny "Guitar" Watson 1970s funk at it's finest, and Mr. Watson could sing and play guitar well - and with a sense of humor.

"Kind Of Blue" (full album) - Miles Davis

Tommy Gun - The Clash

I've got tickets to see this symphony performed, I think it's Rachmaninoff's best symphony and not performed often enough. I have it on CD but I'm checking out other conductor's interpretations of it. Symphony #1 - Sergei Rachmaninoff

"Shotgun" - Jr. Walker and the All-Stars

Once your tires get slashed it's time to re-tire

Turtle Beach Sound Cards were the best in their day. Later the Sound Blaster with "Sound Fonts" captured people's attention and eventually the Turtles and Blasters were gone, but MIDI is still here.

You Can't Sit Down - Philip Upchurch Combo (before words were added to this song)

Quimbara - Celia Cruz Because sometimes a little Musica Latina es buena.

Don't drive it that way, it might make the hat flat ;)

Eat It - Weird Al https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcJjMnHoIBI It won't embed but you know it.

"I've Got To Use My Imagination" - The Rides (Stephen Stills, Kenny Wayne Shephard & Barry Goldberg) Kenny Wayne is one of my favorite blues guitarists And the story:

How about from Butcher to the dinner table featuring Meat Loaf Bat Out Of Hell - Meat Loaf

I watched a Rush Documentary a few days ago (DVD rented from Netflix). I've always liked the band and though they were under-appreciated.

The Music From Peter Gunn - Henry Mancini The title song is early Rock n Roll but the rest is some of the finest cool school jazz ever recorded. The music was much better than the TV show was IMO. I had this LP as a child, and it's good to visit an old friend every now and then.

Stormy Monday Blues (originally titled Call It Stormy Monday - T-Bone Walker (it's his song) (check out the three P90 pickups and he is a good picker. Every guitar playing blues artist owes a debt to T-Bone)

It's the only association I can think of this sleepy morning that fits the above. Tijuana Taxi - Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass

Hundreds, perhaps thousands of Robins are on their way back up north and are darting all around the area, chirping and squawking as they forage for insects, berries and anything else edible. So I have the windows open to enjoy the chorus. It only lasts a couple of days before they move on. They are early this year, they usually arrive in early February.

The Bells Of Rhymney - The Byrds I think it's originally a Pete Seeger song

True. The feral swine are doing well in Florida, but that's because the Spaniards brought them here in the 1500s. They've become a bit of a pest. But even so there are a lot more food source hogs in the USA than the feral ones. I don't know for sure, but I'd guess that to be global too. And if it weren't for the rapid proliferation of humans, most wild animals might be doing better. But I'm not volunteering to reduce our numbers yet ;) And I'm a hog for becan. Notes

Teen Town - Jaco Pastorius Jaco and I both played in that Boca Raton Teen Town in an old WWII Army barracks building. I also played with on of Jaco's first bass teachers. He said that Jaco learned so fast that pretty soon he had nothing else to show him.
