I'm not really fans of S&G but they have a number of nice songs. Paul is a very sophisticated songwriter. He does things that sound natural and easy but are inventive. This is one I by them I really like and the Wrecking Crew did a great job on the instrumental backing. And after all boxers are warriors thus the association. The Boxer - Simon & Garfunkle

Another....good jazz phrasing - a little Billie Holiday but definitely not a clone. Who knew? Until yesterday, not me. Teach Me Tonight - Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse was quite an accomplished jazz singer, and here's proof. Someone To Watch Over Me - Amy Winehouse

"Lost Someone" (Live At The Apollo) - James Brown & The Famous Flames

Scythian Suite - Sergei Prokofiev - Claudio Abbado - Chicago Symphony Orchestra

BUMP

Bad Case Of Loving You (Doctor Doctor) - Robert Palmer

When I was in a disco band 'back then' a lot of the guys were snorting coke. When they asked if I wanted to buy some, I'd say, "I don't do coke. It shrinks the membranes in your wallet." But I won't put in writing some of the things I did when I was a hippie in a psychedelic band :D

I loves me some Louis Jordan. Fine alto saxophonist and music often with a sense of humor. Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby - Louis Jordan

I'm missing my once a week gigs on a quay in a marina over a lagoon across from a state park. It's a tropical paradise. We do this song, not the IMHO wimped out Buster Poindexter version, but closer to the original Arrow version. This song has served us well for years, they do a conga line for the first half and jam the second. Hot Hot Hot - Arrow

Some Skunk Funk - The Brecker Brothers I was in a band that covered this song and it is very, very difficult. I never felt completely comfortable with it. The notes in the heat come fast and the fingering on the sax is a bit awkward.

Only if you exclude "mental" :D

Aberdeen Mississippi Blues - Bukka White some Delta blues and unusual guitar percussion

Keep Your Big Mouth Shut - Bull Moose Jackson

Sounds like an interesting but PITA day. I do hope you are disease-free. Notes

Coming Home Baby - Herbie Mann

Something - The Beatles I like the guitar solo. Melodic and nice subtle timing and expressive ornaments.

Jorge Santana just died so as a remembrance of his most successful song here is: Suavecito - Malo It's a nice song. I understand he also did a lot of session work with the Fania All Stars

I'm content at home, although I'd much rather be working. Leilani and I get along so well together it's like a vacation. Plus my house is on a half acre on a dead-end street with only 9 families living on it. Walking to the end and back 5 times is a mile so I can get my exercise in (3 to 4mi/day) and keep my distance from others. Since we are a duo together, we can play all we like at home, although it isn't the same without an audience. We haven't been bored yet. We're also working on new add-on products to Band-in-a-Box. It's time consuming, sometimes frustrating, but like a good puzzle, when we overcome some of the built-in limitations of the BiaB app and make it do something musical that it wasn't designed to do, we get a sense of accomplishment. It looks like it will be isolating this way for at least a couple of months more. The less I mix with other people, the lower my odds of getting COVID are. My brother-in-law is a world famous doctor among other doctors and he says I don't want to get this disease. Even among those show no symptoms many have damage to their lungs, brain, heart, and/or kidneys. The damage may take years to heal at a minimum or may not heal at all. I make my living with my lungs and brain, and I'm rather fond of my heart and kidneys too, so I don't want any damage. Time is our only currency, we aim to spend it enjoyably. Bob

Band Of Gold - Freda Payne

The Breeze And I - Catarina Valente - it is based on Andalucia by Ernesto Lecuona IMO the intro is the best part of Catarina's version.

My brother-in-law is a world famous doctor to other doctors. He says you don't want to catch this disease. It damages everybody it touches, even the asymptomatic.

I Love How You Love Me - Paris Sisters this one is as soft as a feather

They're Red Hot - Robert Johnson Because sometimes I need a little delta blues - this one is the least covered RJ song as far as I can tell,

OK, I think I need to get back to earth, and quit drinking so much: Black Coffee - k.d.lang (what a voice!)
