Relaxing With Coltrane

Two more Xmas cards arrived this morning , one from the north and one from the USA, the latter being an LJ friend.

Another day of relaxing before the end of the year , enforced by the fact that i guess i will get my monies on the last day of the year , that is - tomorrow. I only have one visit anyway and if the money is not in it will be carried over to the new year.

So i shall be reading reading reading. These mostly -

Peter Ackroyd - Tudors
Ben Ratliff - Coltrane, The Story Of A Sound


Meanwhile, a piece of Coltrane from the Interstellar Space album -

John Coltrane - Venus

Enjoy

Those who get to know you appreciate your practical, no-nonsense approach to life. You may not be warm and fuzzy, but you are extremely caring in your own way.

Are You the Moon or the Sun?
