  1. I'm thinking that I saw this on either Netflix or Prime or Kanopy or some streaming service a few years ago? Is that possible? Or are there two Gary M. movies?
  2. Buck Clayton Art Clokey Dolly Dagger
  3. I'm resolving to use retirement (March 3, 2023) to stop being such a g-d sedentary desk jockey. That itself might fix some of the things that the current medicinal regime is working on...I hope...
  4. Note that there look to be different instructions based on what version of Windows you're running. But other than that, it all seems pretty straightforward.

    If had a good feature in DownBeat. Pulled that on out of a cutout bin ca. 1972. Not bad, but let's just say that I'd not pay a full price for it.
  9. Cindy & Sandy Belli - Hey Porter!!!
  10. Maybe just let it be what it is and then be done with it.
  11. Sorry, runni9ng late. TRACK ONE - Doesn't do a whole lot for me, but Nona Hendrix went on to do some really quirky and interesting solo projects. TRACK TWO - Maybe my favorite Benson album! TRACK THREE - SO popular, in fact, that there was this just one year in. But the Mendes original version still works best for me. Flora's rendition here reminds me how how much fun we all thought drugs were. We we right, of course, at least for the moment. But after that minute passed... TRACK FOUR - The cuts with Gilberto are, uh...inconsistent. But this one is exceptional, TRACK FIVE - Yep. Ignore Johnny Mathis at your own risk. Motherfucker could sing. Probably still can. TRACK SIX - Only heard the Pharaohs 5-10 years ago, but it was like, OH, I SEE!!! Sorry it took me so ling! A lot of things fell into place. Also hoping that more light can be shine on Don Myrick as time goes on. It's not too late! TRACK SEVEN - Hmmmm...of its time, I suppose. But, shall we say, uneven. And the tenor (Brecker, I presume?) is, like...Carole King with Tom Scott. Did we need more of that type thing? I don't, but I am not wee. TRACK EIGHT - Excellent song, but not a lot done with it except maybe belaboring the obvious. TRACK NINE - Klemmer. No idea what got into him, but some big bucks hopefully got into his pockets! This has energy, but not a whole lot else, a simple vamp, a lot of energy, no real direction (because it's not about having direction, it's about energy), and then it's over. Good players making that energy keep it from descending into silliness, though.Too bad that Klemmer and Gato never played together during this period, they could have brought out the worst in each other!!! TRACK TEN - These vamps... i like it well enough, and have the record. But don't lie it enough to listen to it too much. Seems a bit Muzaky in its own way. TRACK ELEVEN - Not Stepney, not enough reverb. But sort of the same general sonic vision. Sounds like LA players. I like it. Not sure about a whole album of it, but I'd be willing to try. ?Is this film music? TRACK TWELVE - Ok, THAT' S Stepney, don't have to guess or say "sounds like". Rotary Connection. There it is. TRACK THIRTEEN - And that's Stepney. Terry Callier this time. I find that I generally need Stepney for Callier to fully click for me. Not always, but generally/ A lot of these "uncategorizable" artists will tend to ramble without somebody to give them some context. Case in point here, I mean, if this guy sang this song by himself, what have you got? Not much. Those words are pretty damn siily (and thier sincerity makes them all the more sillier). But add that Stepney, hey, you got context, a rather compelling context. actually. So, Charles Stepney, doing god's work yet again. YET again. TRACK FOURTEEN - Liked it better when Gospel carried over into Pop rather than vice-versa. But having said that, this sounds like a Donny Hathaway thing, maybe, sorta, kinda. Or not. It's been that kind of month, I am tired and getting tireder. Not your fault though, thanks for the Christmas cheer!

  21. Today's Housewives are Happy because they can stream Ask This Old House 24-7 on Roku Live TV Channel 456 and hear this as filler music for when the commercials don't come out evev (sometimes 90 seconds +!!!)
  22. I remember reading an article on Life or Look or one of those type of mags that pointed out that a black act crossing over to a white audience in undiluted form was hard enough, but even harder still was for a white band to cross over to a black audience. The article singled out The Rascals as a band that was doing just that
  23. RIP. Of what I knew, I really enjoyed.
