Every time someone posts Snarky Puppy I kinda feel inadequate...I have to remind myself that my KILLER guitar player actually loves playing my songs, so I must have something going on...Tony

Tony,
The Snarky Puppy link has been around, but what think happens we watch enjoy the heck out of, time goes by and when posted again it's feels so fresh! That is a fun link to watch! I know I haven't seen it awhile.
Thanks Double O #12!

Wolf; the Bach piece was wonderful, a very nice addition to the day.  Thanks!

Dave,  I am glad you liked it !

Bear Melt  

Astral Weeks and Moondance. Van is the man!

And thanks for Bear Melt, Wolf.  I'm hoping to listen to from Live Dead later on today.  Right now I'm listening to the rain fall outside the window, aka Live Rain.

You are welcome Dave.  That Live Dead and that set of segued tunes is a total masterpiece to my ears.  I think the rain is music too ,Earth's music, in all of its variations and transitions and segues from cloudy to sunny  and then a rainbow ! There we can see the relativity between humanity and habitat and life  when we create music .We all know this of course and live it day to day. I just like to talk about it sometimes and feel gratitude for it.  It is my belief that reflecting this emotion during the creation of improvised  and composed music is a product  of the positive life force of humanity .  It's just what we musicians do . I really heard that in Bear Melt, and that whole Live Dead album. That has the Dark Star on it that l grew up with loving,and can not get enough of.  It may very well be playing continuously in my subconscious mind.

brian.. Moondance.  I have to learn this for my new functions band. Not as easy as it sounds.
 
I spent last night listening to a string of James taylor's greatest hits from the front row at Glasgow's new(ish) Hydro. As ever, jimmy Johnson's playing was sublime but I have to admit I spent most of the evening watching Steve gadd's drumming.

I've been listening to loads of Grover Washington Jr's music.  
I'm putting on a big commemoration gig to celebrate his music in December so been finalising the set list.

Ahhh,
What a way to start the day.
Bach and Live Dead.
Thanks Dave and Wolf

I really like his upright tone.
