I miss the days when Fantasy owned the OC catalog and I took great advantage of the $5 per CD media price, including boxed sets. I still missed a few before Concord Jazz bought Fantasy and proceeded to delete what seemed to be 80% of the OJC catalog.

I have no use for Spotify, period. They need to be sued into bankruptcy for false labeling of bad music that is likely AI-created slop. The fact that they don't require sufficient data to verify the music made available is legitimate is inexcusable.
My iMac computer is repeatedly failing to accept my password. It also offers the option of a recovery key, though I don’t remember setting one up.

Turtle Island Quartet in Chattanooga. I enjoyed dinner with the band last night and they have a new CD out in April, Island Prayers, downloads should be out now.

But I've yet to hear any smooth jazz that held my interest, especially Bob James and Kenny G.
I run into that from time to time, wondering whether I put the CD other than its assigned spot or if I mixed up the stacks as I shifted CDs around the room after so many new acquisitions.
