Chains Of Love - Erasure

"Faith" - Stevie Wonder & Ariana Grande

Vehicle - Ides Of March Sounding a lot like Blood Sweat And Tears

Concerto For Group And Orchestra - Deep Purple with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Because a number of rock and rollers also like classical. So Jon Lord and Ian Gillan wrote one.

Policy of Truth - Depeche Mode

More "Fame" - Georgie doing an old Lambert, Hendricks and Ross tune. Gimme That Wine - Georgie Fame And the original which is just a tangent to the "fame" association. But it's nice to see where Georgie got his inspiration.

These guys can play guitar, fiddle and accordion both very fast and good - and they swing - "gypsy jazz". They even make the accordion sound good. Milko - Titi Winterstein Quintett

Donovan says he wrote this about a woman's erotic toy Mellow Yellow - Donovan Geogie Fame had a go with it

"Yellow Submarine" - Beatles

Haitian Divorce - Steely Dan I love the voice box guitar and as usual Bernard Purdie's drums and a delight. Speaking of which, this album is a lesson in how a drummer can support a song and enhance it, without bringing obvious attention to himself/herself.

Barber??? Adagio For Strings - Samuel Barber and a nice vocal version

Tube Snake Boogie - ZZ Top

Blue On Black - Kenny Wayne Shepherd He is a fine guitarist

Richie Cole and Eddie Jefferson doing a song about Tom Waits Waiting For Waits - Richie Cols feat. Eddie Jefferson and Manhattan Transfer couldn't get it to embed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBEso9X3Wu0

Joy Spring - Stan Getz A song Clifford Brown wrote for his wife. I like the Stan Getz version a lot.

I worked for the department of redundancy department. (I think that came from an old Monty Python sketch).

I almost forgot about this gem and listening to it is like visiting an old friend. Mechanical World - Spirit

But you gotta admit, the female dancer is both beautiful and a great dancer. I think I can take him in small doses but wouldn't want a steady diet of his music. I don't listen to the radio much here. We get a few formats: Classical, but not the exciting classical I like, but classical to snooze by Country, the same top 20 Nashville hits again and again and again and again Oldies, basically an advertising station interrupted by short segments of music from the 80s Urban, single chord 'songs' with talking instead of melody will bore me after a while Latin American, the broadcasting tower is too far away and the reception is so bad I can't listen long enough to know if I like it or not So I have a digital Walkman with over 10,000 tunes culled from my extensive LP, CD, and purchased downloads collection set up in random play mode plugged into the car's AUX jack. I got the Sheeran video while doing a Band-in-a-Box entry in an e-disk I'm making for the Hal Leonard update of the "Wedding And Love Fake Book". We turn the songs in the fake books into BiaB backing tracks. It's a moonlighting part-time money maker than in this COVID isolation is getting more time devoted to it in a month than I usually give it in a year. Notes

Writing style and fake e-disk aftermarket products for Band-in-a-Box Playing music with my wife/lover/best-friend/duo partner Spending quality time with same wife Hopefully avoiding catching the plague Thanks for the squirrel video. That was a delightful distraction of 20 minutes.

Highway Star - Deep Purple

I haven't heard a lot of him, but I like that one. Perhaps it's the Marvin Gaye groove.

One of the first saxophone albums I ever bought. I wore out a few LPs and now have it on CD. The sax improvisations are incredible. It was done live with the orchestra in 2 track stereo, a couple of takes per song, no splicing, no punch ins, and the melodies Stan ad-libbed sound like they were penned with a lot of work. I'm still amazed at his work on this. He has great technical chops, but you don't hear them, you just hear melody. Note, the first cut, "I'm Late, I'm Late" are both takes played end to end. Focus - Stan Getz / Eddie Sauter (full album),

Wooly Bully - Sam The Sham and the Pharaohs We do this song and the boomer generation love it. I get to go crazy on the sax so it's fun for me too.

Chrome is voluntary spyware. Google's robots log everything you do on it and that info is for sale. Edge is built on the Chrome 'engine'. Firefox is much better. But it doesn't work on every site, there are a few that are chrome specific. For those I use Brave, or Duck Duck Go which are both built on the Chrome engine but with privacy controls added. Notes

Some songs just need to be played a few times per year. Communication Breakdown - Led Zeppelin
