a great find

Sunday afternoon I went to my antique mall. I found a few 45s for my friend Tink who has a great Podcast on mixcloud. Not expecting to find anything for myself I decided to flip through the CD rack just for the heck of it and came upon this and of course had to get it!

wow what a dat for photography

 today it was 49 degrees. Thats pretty good being it was 31 yesterday.
I went down to the small lake off the canal and got these shots

OK its just a goose but I was trying out my close up skills!
Then I saw the ducks..

There was this beautiful Duck with red eyes. I wish he was closer so I could get a better shot!
I also saw a Robin red breast. A sure sign that spring is coming soon

whats been plating

Yesterday I did a random CD shelf pull and this was one of the CDs I pulled. I think I've only listed to it one and its now playing. Wow lots a cool jazz here. I'm really enjoying this!

recently I made a new mix making friend. His Name is Nick Haag. He sent me this mix a few days ago. Many of these I know but haven't heard in quite a while and there were a few tracks new to my ears. Dead Skunk still makes me chuckle. Nick ripped this from vinyl but doesn't use itunes. He has a CD burner you can hook up to the stereo. I didnt think that was possible. wow!

Jazzy Swinging Jams

 I'm not sure exactly when I made this. I think around 2011- 2012! I was just getting back into listening to jazz.. after my dad died in 2006 I didn't listen to jazz for several months. My dad loved jazz and standards of the 40s and 50s. I didn't listen to any of it for months after Dad died. I got sad if I tried. I made this for a fellow mix maker and I made myself a copy. Herb Albert and The Pete fountain tracks remind me of my Dad but now its OK. I think many of the tracks came from the Library.
   I listened to this the other night and it makes me smile now.
A retired coworker turned me on to Nina Simone in the Early 1990s when he gave me a record to put it on a cassette for him.
Medeski Martin and wood  oh yeah the was one I picked up at the library. Bubblehouse was a track that I got turned onto along with the track blocked by glare here. sorry about that!
