Fiona has become both blind and deaf . . . she is quite old. She still has an appetite though! She needs constant monitoring and lots of help but we love her and hope she lives forever, :)

That's exactly how it supposed to be 🐶❤️🐶 ....

Disc  2   

Hyman is a marvelous and highly diverse pianist.

Somebody mentioned this recently and I love Dick Hyman so I ordered a copy which happened to arrive today!  (Amazon has 30% off on this at the moment). Looking forward to listening to it.

A nice cool morning, after a great dinner with my brothers and sisters-in-law and my two youngest nieces. Never get enough evenings like that!

Starting the day off with. . . .Sun Ra “At The Showcase: Live In Chicago 1976-1977” Jazz Detective 2 cd set, disc 1

I’ve grown less and less interested in Sun Ra in the mid-to-late 'Seventies and beyond, picked this one up because I suspected the sound was good and to check out the performances.

It’s. . . okay. Not the worst of this vintage I’ve heard performance wise, and the sound is quite good. May go on the trade/sell pile, we’ll see.

"Lena & Gabor" Skye/Muzak Japan cd.

The seeming (to me) unusual pairing of Lena Horne with Gabor Szabo--which is interestingly arranged by Gary McFarland and features a proto-"Stuff" personnel.

Over time I've learned to appreciate what McFarland was up to which is integral here. I confess. . . I do like this one and this Muzak reissue sounds phenomenal on the system this morning.

Lena was such a beauty with a wonderful voice.

CD 1 is better than CD 2 IMHO.
