aloha tut!

Hiya!

hiya, astro-twin! *smooch!*

Aloha, Suz…! Did ya have the same dreary weather as moi, today…?

Aloha, Chris…! How’s the Lakefront tonite…!

Cool and rainy — we had huge storms todayl

*smooches* Back to ya, Sweetie…! *g*

It’s looking like we’ll have another astro-twin…! My Grandson-to-be is being mighty stubborn…! ;-)

cleared up some this afternoon but the clouds started piling up against the horizon towards sunset. 40% chance of rain tonight and about the same for showers tomorrow

My fave Steely Dan tune… Deacon Blues…

dood, you’re the one who is impatient — he’s not due for another couple weeks

I’ve been nuts for Steely Dan ever since I first heard them.

Hi Group. Just got back from a visit with my daughter and her family in Montana. Beautiful…visit and Montana!

*heh* Actually it’s the Mom-to-be that is…! ;-)

“Birdland” – Weather Report

Aloha, Mz…! I’d read a comment on one of the Steely Dan clips, that said two guys had realized they had every track of Steely, then spent an entire day listening to ‘em, from the first track to the last…! ;-)

It was interesting to be offline for a week. I didn’t miss the political ongoing brouhaha. I did miss LateLate chat.

Aloha, Dearie…! Ain’t it some gorgeous country…? Did ya make it up to the Glaciers NP…?

Aloha CTuttle. So much good music, so little time. ;-)

Nope. Just hung out with family in the Gallatin Valley. Nice. Restful. And, the TSA people were all really nice. I’d gotten to the point where I didn’t want to fly anymore because of the hassle. I did some attitude adjustment and decided to just go with it…..if I got groped, I’d decide that getting groped was an adventure. But, no, no groping! I flew on older planes that actually had “first class”…..and for a $20 upgrade I bought 5 extra inches and ended up in “first class.” I’m old enough to remember……..

True…! Don’t take me alive…!

Sounds like a well spent $20 bucks…!

Anyone who has flown in the past decade will know that an extra 5 inches of leg room is really heaven in the air! And I’ve flown back from Bozeman on airplanes that didn’t even have a bathroom (seriously!) so this was truly a heavenly flight. Really lifted my spirits!

We Just Disagree…

Really lifted my spirits!

In more ways than one, eh…? ;-)

Feelin Alright…

Steely Dan created a monster when they launched long ago with Can’t Buy A Thrill in ’72 . . .

Walter Becker n Donald Fagin created a sound that would forever stand for top shelf quality picking and playing and sanging and arranging . . . NO ONE (except for Miles n a few other Jazz Kats) ever influenced so much music (ok, Beatles/Elvis) for so long.

I’m a huge fan of them thru the years, and I was but a scant year out of higher school when Thrill launched.

Start to finish, it embodies to this day every facet and nuance of their sounds on every project they ever did . . .

Every song, every one, is a classic . . . and embodies everything they did going forward. Definitive . . . to the utmost.

Howdy CT, nice music picks hoss . . . can’t stay, but thought I should acknowledge good work when I sees n hears it . . *G*

*thumbsuphoss*

Indeed. What was interesting to me is that when flying back from Europe on European airplanes, infants on laps have a special lap belt that protects them. There were a couple of loose infants on my return trip. Now, I’m savvy enough to recognize that if a plane goes down, it probably doesn’t matter who is strapped in, but it surprised me that in the ‘exceptional USofA’ we don’t strap infants in at all.

Aloha, Larue…! Give the Momma a hug for me…! *g*

Jaco.

Bless his soul n 6 string bass.

Word n worthy. Yep.

Interestingly, any flight that goes over Israeli Airspace, that everybody has to be strapped into their seat the entire time, forget about using the Latrine…! I sh*t you not…! 8-(

Will do, and best to yers n the daughter who’s in her final week or so . . . gramps. ;-)

evening, CT – what’s up in paradise?

I really like that one. It’s gotta be a thrill and a great satisfaction for the musicians to see folks get up from their tables and dance!

N now I gotta go for sure this time Rocky, with or without the hat . . .

Early is as early does . . . may it do for me a damned job soon!

Hug ‘em close folks, n clip yer herbs n make a joyful meal! *G*

*wavestoCE*

Sky Full of Holes is an incredible CD. Got it last week and it hasn’t been out of the CD player in my car. Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger
are one of the best songwriting duos in the past 20 years.
