| Jazz for aficionados Don't stop now Mary_jo, you're bringing back such wonderful memories; I had completely forgotten about Engelbert Humperdinck. He had his time in the spotlight, and now I can travel back to that specific time; it was the best of times. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, Miles Davis was not born a celebrity; one older lady remembered Miles as "The little dark skinned kid who was always trying to blow the trumpet" (little dark skinned kid was not meant to be disparaging, just a matter of fact description)Th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mary_Jo, I was probably 25 when I heard that song, and you must not forget, I didn't make myself, others had a hand in that, and that's the way they made me.However, before that "turn around incident" she and I did have a long and beautiful relati... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, it was not at all frustrating because I never knew what I related to you until I read his autobiography, and he had gone to that big band in the sky by that time. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Somebody is jealous. Since when is Howling Wolf Jazz? But I do wish him a happy birthday where ever he is. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Considering the fact that we're still in lock-down where I am, long distance conversations are the only kind we can have. Besides that I'm getting used to this, maybe I have more in common with my long distance friends than I do my next door neig... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? After all the engineering and science is embedded into Audio Research Amps, they leave the final say so to Audiophiles who don't even know Ohms law; why is that? | |
| Jazz for aficionados So many jazz songs are about people who lived life with intensity, and were aware of the fact that each passing moment was another moment closer to old age and that which follows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpouysaMLwk https://www.yout... | |
| Jazz for aficionados That was a really beautiful presentation of Shirley; this is the first time I heard that, lovely sight and sound. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you like her Mary_Jo.She first attracted my attention with "If You Go Away" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JSi3i_1lZQ | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound?
