GA Russell Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) Many thanks, my friends! Pretty quiet day. I went out for a pizza and got my favorite - light red sauce, extra cheese, ground beef, mushrooms and black olives. Yum! My mother each year sent me a birthday cake - chocolate with coffee frosting, my favorite! She died five years ago, and I guess the bakeries here in tobacco country stink because the birthday cakes I have purchased have been pretty bad. In fact the one two years ago was so bad that last year I skipped it altogether. This year I spent the money instead on a six-pack of Guinness Stout Draught, so instead of birthday cake I'm having birthday beer! I have three birthday CDs today: Mark Murphy - Once To Every Heart This came out four years ago, and I read then somewhere (maybe AAJ) that it was his best album in thirty years. I have to agree. Five stars. I think that Murphy sounds his best when he is not making an effort, and this entire album is effortless. http://www.lala.com/#album/432627039263859..._To_Every_Heart ***** Michael Franks and Crossfire - Live Ca. 1978 Franks put out his second Warner/Reprise album called Sleeping Gypsy. He went on tour to promote the album, and when he was in Pittsburgh (where I lived at the time) he autographed albums in a record shop, so I had him autograph one for me. That night I saw the concert. Sleeping Gypsy is my favorite Franks album. Crossfire/Live is the album he recorded on that tour in Australia. The band is tight. All of the songs are taken a little bit faster than on the record. The bass player really made the show. Excellent. ***** Cal Tjader - Several Shades of Jade/Breeze from the East Actually I bought this controversial disc many years ago but didn't get around to listening to it until tonight. Here's my take: Both albums are excellent but they are not jazz albums. I would put them in the same music category as tv soundtrack albums. In fact, Jade reminds me a lot of Earle Hagan's ca. 1967 album of music from the tv show I Spy. Right up TTK's alley. http://www.lala.com/#album/432627039268705...e_From_The_East Excuse me, while I go for another Guinness! PS - About the age thing. I have read a number of times that it is a mistake to give a website like this your complete date of birth because of identity theft. So to give you an idea of my age, let's just say that I went to high school during the years of the British Invasion. Edited November 6, 2009 by GA Russell Quote
