Good Morning

Well, with that psychedelia last night with the Byrds and Grateful Dead I thought this would be appropriate.

Peace and love, folk.

The Doctor Will See You Now

How about some of the Doctor this morning?

Dr.John - Mama Roux

Dr.John - Junco Partner

Enjoy.

Whoopee!

Something I do most days -

Dr.John and Rickie Lee Jones - Makin' Whoopee!

Also on the Very Best of CD.

Open & Close

Let us get funky.

Fela Ransome Kuti & The Africa "70" -- Open & Close (1971)

Dancin'feet don't fail me now.

Enjoy.

Medway Bound

Chilling out this morning with some of the albums I found yesterday. Well, I actually mean CD's, but you know old habits linger.

In a Fela Kuti mode right now. Slowly building up a collection of his music from the seventies and so forth.

Midday I will be heading to Medway to do a mobile phone store, a food visit at a supermarket cafe and then another visit to a store that now belongs to Walmart. I was also going to Whitstable to do a pub food and drink visit this evening, but as I am doing The Canterbury Tales on Sunday I will visit the pub on the same day as I will be full of food from the big M supermarket in Strood - part of Medway for the uninitiated.

Addendum: Just checked the pub visit is a drinks only covert shop - two pints of real-ale so yeah, I am visiting this evening! A full £20 fee too! The Sunday Tales visit is a £40 quid fee. Yay, good stuff!

Jeru

Wow! This Rudy van Gelder edition remastering of Birth Of The Cool is awesome. No distortions, original 1950 mono recording in pristine sound quality and
sounding so good than it has never been before.

So out of this forty-minute album, I give you this-

Miles Davis - Jeru

Written by Gerry Mulligan - a legend in his own right.

Billed as the "Miles Davis Band", the group at this time consisted of Davis (trumpet), Mike Zwerin (trombone), Bill Barber (tuba), Junior Collins (French horn), Gerry Mulligan (baritone saxophone), Lee Konitz (alto saxophone), John Lewis (piano), Al McKibbon (bass), and Max Roach (drums).

Enjoy.

The Friday Five

1. Have you ever experienced a hurricane firsthand?

2. Have you ever experienced outside heat over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celcius)?

3. When and where was the coldest temperature you have ever experienced?

4. Is your household prepared for a possible power outage of two to seven days?

5. Have you experienced flood damage?

More Medicine From The Doctor

Two more from the spirit master -

Dr.John - Such A Night

Dr.John - I Walk On Guilded Splinters

Enjoy.

At Home With Antony

At home listening to Antony and The Johnsons and drinking a glass of vino.Can not get better than that.

Antony and the Johnsons - Atrocities

God visits all lost souls
To survey the damage
And holding his bleeding heart
A tear comes to his eye
He whispered:
It's the atrocities of History


Enjoy.

Good Night
