Guilty pleasure,Del Shannon,C.Baker etc.


O.K....I'm setting myself up for it..but, people have
come out with their like for Country stars...etc. So, as
much as I like Mozart, Gershwin, Miles, Sarah Vaughn, Diana
Krall...etc..etc...I must admit to a serious liking for
some people of less note...ie: Del Shannon, Rosie Clooney,
Chet Baker (some of the best "make-out" music ever)...and.
damn if that CD of standards that Anne Murray did isn't fun
to listen to... There, I feel better.....or do I?

Swampwalker....thanks for the reminder..I had almost forgotten how much I had enjoyed mid-'70s Ronstadt. If you
have a chance to find one..The Valarie Carter album from
that time perior "Wild Child" is great. Jim
I had the pleasure to see Diana Krall..in the parking lot
in back of a pub in Milwaukee. The owner of this bar had
given her a place to play when she was a nobody..and she
re-paid the favor by playing there again a summer or two
ago again..when she was playing the best at places in the
world. So....my point?..True class..is not always part of
what "everyone" gets, and that is VERY much part of the
"high-end".
