  1. New home - first track!

    in Miscellaneous - Non-Political

    Posted

    About 15 years ago I moved into my first home.  Back then this group helped to decide what the first song played would be.  I went with Jimmy Smith’s House Party.

    Since then I got married and have two boys.

    Now It’s time to choose again.  This Friday (12/7/19) we move into our dream home.

    What will the first track be?

  9. Which Mosaic Are You Enjoying Right Now?

    in Mosaic and other box sets...

    I kept up with each release in the series. It was a great way to introduce myself to new music - in several cases artists I might not have sought out.

    #5 - Paul Chambers sticks out with the white spine.  All other #s 1-20 were pastel colors.  Then they switched to pictures on the spine from 21 - 38 except for #27 - Cohn, Newman & Green and #32 - Pendulum.

    Really glad I have them. Lots of enjoyment over the years. Few regrets.  Maybe the Johnny Mercer. I think I posted something here where I compared that set to the candy, Circus Peanuts - those little orange goodies that after two, you've had enough - a little goes a long way. 

    I would love love to see the series make it to 40 - for no other reason to even out how they fit on my shelves. 

  13. Jazz Art Projects

    Posted · Edited by mgraham333

    I thought I would share a couple of Jazz related art projects.

    For this I cut out 2" square cover art using a color laser printer and adhered the images to pre-cut letters using mod podge. I used a thin layer of mod podge to seal the images.

    Step 1) Take inkjet labels and peel off all of the labels leaving only the slick paper
    Step 2) Print an image on the slick side of the label paper (remember to flip the image if it has text)
    Step 3) Carefully press the image printed on the slick paper     to the wood - it will slide so be careful

    Tips: Pine or some other wood with a more open grain will likely work best. I used red oak which is hard with a tighter grain so it didn't accept as much of the ink as a softer wood might have.

    If your image has areas of white (like the rightmost image on my project) it will remain the color of the wood as white doesn't actually print with ink.
