- My lively and lovely 80 something Mother is off on an adventure of a lifetime! She's aboard a non-stop flight to China. She's taking a look at the Great Wall, Beijing and much much more...she just called me from the inflight cell phone link...telling me she's packed her watercolours and her easel.....go Maw go....
Death Letter Blues ~ Son House
I got the Blues so bad today…has to do with an intra-mural war….so Mr. House has got my back with this gritty lowdown bit of traditional Blues from down the Delta Way….Monday Got The Blues pick from the Flimwell Papers’ Music Corner!
Ah-Leu-Cha ~ Miles Davis Sextet
I think that sometimes I under estimate my ears…I put this tune on twice in the past week and then read the notes I’d scribbled on the back of the lovely large vinyl album. It read “too complex for some but I find it filling like a fine old wine”…..ok I liked it then and I love it now. So we’re jumping into the deeper mild section of bebop here…hang on to your sandals folks! It’s the Sunday is Jazz pick from the Flimwell Papers’ Music Corner.
For those who don’t know the work of the legendary Jim Marshall please go have a look…
