Teasing the Korean

We saw Jack live twice. The first time was in 2007, with an orchestra. I was working the concert. During the break between sets, I told him how much I loved his album with Michel Legrand. He said that one was among his own favorites. He did "One at a Time" that night, with the same arrangement as on the LP.

Jack was on Kapp, but some of his stuff was recorded at Columbia's 30th Street studio, so he has that distinctive reverb on his voice!

Agreed. His material wasn't always the best, but he had a fantastic voice. Very resonant, sounding like a baritone in the low register, and a tenor in the high register. I may have told this story here before: I saw Jack live circa 2007. He did a version of "Our Love is Here to Stay." The first chorus was very quiet and restrained. He was walking through the audience and singing to people along the way. Just when the second chorus kicked in, with the drummer going to the ride cymbal and the bass walking, Jack gets right in the face of an older woman, skips the first line (It's very clear), and let's out a high Robert Plant wail from out of nowhere. I thought she was going to have a heart attack!

Or it will by February.

Presumably, a combination of older, original fans and younger hipsters. I'll let you know. I suspect the crowd in Sarasota will skew toward the blue-haired demographic.

89. He is playing Lincoln Center on his 90th birthday.

I saw Herb and Lani about 10 years ago, and he was playing great. But I never thought he would do a Tijuana Brass tour again!

Yeah, this is where we've been. I was buying vinyl from the time I was a toddler, but we brought home most of what we have now between the 1990s and about 2008 or so. Since then, I generally shifted away from vinyl, as cheap second-hands stuff dried up around here, and new vinyl usually costs more than I'm willing to pay. And I've bought more CDs than vinyl since about 2008 or so, because the prices were plummeting.

Not an LP, but a CD I recently picked up from a "free" bin. I thought it was funny,

😿 👍 I'll gladly take loss of power over loss of home or loss of life, but still, it was stressful, exacerbated by the fact that our area is always the last to have power restored, whether it is a hurricane or routine rainfall.

Power just came back on after 6 days and 22.5 hours. 6 days and 22.5 hours without listening to Kenny G. 😹😹😹

How is the bass? Power is still out from Milton, and I can't hear bass on my phone. The rest sounds good.

TTK's power is still out. Interwebz connectivity is dicey.

I just scored 3 free TF CDs: Best of (Pablo) Lady Be Good - For Ella (Verve) Sea Changes (Evidence) Looking forward to spinning...when I have electricity. 😿

Taking advantage of fleeting connectivity. Still no power. We have water but are under a boil notice (fairly useless without a sterno). We should have power by Thursday the 17th. I drove around our neighborhood for the past two days, and the number of downed trees from a Cat 2 hurricane was sobering. If something similar occurs - and it will, sooner or later - we will likely evacuate, even if not mandatory.

You missed the Ed Wood centennary.

You're a guitar player and you don't like E7?!? I'm reporting you! 😹

Oh, just realized, I was talking about Dan as in @Stonewall15. He is fine. If you were asking about Gould, I don't know.

I was texting with him late last night. I texted this morning but have not heard back yet. I'll keep you posted. Just heard from Dan. He's fine.

We made it through. Downed branches were the worst of it. Very different a few miles southwest of where we are.

Was texting with @Stonewall15. The storm should be reaching him at around 2-3 am EST.

We are in Temple Terrace, near USF in North Tampa. Our power miraculously stayed on until about 9:30 pm. The extreme wind warning has been lifted for us, but you wouldn't know it listening to what's going on outside.
