  1. It's A Raggy Waltz - Dave Brubeck Quartet Paul Desmond, the sax player, is one of my all-time favorite alto saxophonists. And the two beat figures over the 3/4 time signature make the song difficult to sight-read, but once you get it, it makes sense.
  2. I haven't heard this one in years. Gino Vannelli - A Pauper In Paradise (all 4 movements hopefully, I'm going to start right now) Notes ♫
  3. Time Is On My Side - Kai WInding (the original) First vocal version by Irma Thomas And last, but not least
  4. The Universe is Calling · Sun Ra & His Arkestra Sun Ra was a talented pianist, who IMO went over the deep end and made some very unusual music.
  5. Walkin' - Stanley Turrentine (one of my all-time favorite jazz saxophonists)
  6. Jelly Jelly Jelly - Bobby "Blue" Bland Blues standerd sung by many, I rather like the Bobby Bland version.
  7. Pictures At An Exhibition - Modest Mussorgsky I like Kurt Masur (conductor) too bad it didn't work on this board Nice try by ELP
  8. Getting songs in and out of iTunes was a PITA. With Windows, it's just drag and drop to the appropriate folder (which you decide). ------ When I had that iPad, I went to Australia, took 800 pictures on my Panasonic Lumix camera. For Windows, I just dragged and dropped them from the camera to a folder. Ctrl-A highlighted them all, drag and drop the bunch, and it sat there and worked without me paying attention. I could not get them from my camera into my iPad. I wanted to bring the best of them to show my sisters when I was having dinner with them. Since the Luimix didn't have some kind of Apple proprietary interface and/or code, they wouldn't go. So I got a FireWire to USB cable, hoping to get them from my Windows PC to the iPad. They wouldn't go directly. Searched the Internet and couldn't find a solution. So I uploaded them one at a time to a folder on my website, and downloaded them to the iPad. Very time-consuming. What happened in minutes in Windows, took hours and hours plus constant attention to get them to the iPad. I now have a Samsung Galaxy. I like it much better than the iPad. Ctrl-A, drag and drop, and they move all by themselves. I can't see myself buying another Apple product, until they learn to play with the standards everyone else uses. They make nice hardware, the OS is fine, but Apple just doesn't play well with others. Apple calls it an ecosystem, I call it Apple Jail. On the other hand, there are a lot of people quite happy with Apple products, so obviously they are doing something right. There is more than one right way to do almost anything.
