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 🐶❤️🐶 ....

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.

Lena Horne – vocals
Gábor Szabó – guitar
Eric Gale, Cornell Dupree – guitar
Richard Tee – organ
Chuck Rainey – electric bass
Grady Tate – drums
Gary McFarland – arranger, conductor
Unknown strings and horns
The Howard Roberts Chorale – vocals
Howard Roberts – vocal arrangement

CD 1 is better than CD 2 IMHO.
