Sam Noto has a few excellent releases on Xanadu, he was a very decent player. I think "True Blue" and "Silver Blue" are very satisfying listens--all players are excellent and they are good bebop jam records. Now Playing: Grateful Dead “Friend of the Devils: April 1978” 2024 box set, first show Excellent sound!

My dachshund listening partner is sleepy this morning. After a day of rain there's a still, cool feel to this morning and sitting in front of the stereo is a great way to start the day. Now playing Disc 1, Xanadu 2 cd set. Al Cohn/Dexter Gordon "True Blue & Silver Blue"

Holiday and Faulkner

Rain! Very welcome by all the outside world, but Fiona the dachshund is not very happy about it. . . . Don Menza/Pete Magadini “Live At Claudio’s” Sackville cd

Neil Young “Tuscaloosa” Reprise cd This is sortof an alternate “Time Fades Away”. . . recorded on the same tour. This tour was the only one that I ever attended of Young’s.
