Me thinks it safe to say she transcends jazz or any other music form, she no doubt can play anything a conductor or writer arranger can come up with. What draws me in is her pure joy in what she is doing.

That is a sweet Bel Aire . The 61 bubble top Impala with the 409 w/4 spd on the floor my favorite Impala, I owned a 62 Impala, kept breaking motor mounts.

The host of the NPR Jazz program said he attended one of her shows, he said it was unlike any concert he has attended as both artist and audience members were mesmerized.

She started piano lessons at 4, started studying jazz at 7, played with Chick Corea at age 17, she jokes about practicing 40 hrs a day, I hope you enjoy,

Good for yo you ksdaddy, I retired last February, I manage to stay busy, the only thing I miss is the social aspect of working, I had a lot of friends at the agency I worked at.

I saw this a few years ago, Philip does decent videos and reviews,

The woman and the Blues

I spent my teen years in Palm Springs, back Inn the 60s. Hotter than three dollar pistol. Anyways Happy Birthday USA! Celebrate anyway you wish..

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

That is a beauty! This might be the nicest burst ever!

You did a great job, we just finished resetting our small, 11x13 patio / entryway, over the years with the snow we get, the bricks heaved and were uneven. Took it down 6 inches this time, 4 inch packed road mix, 2 inches compacted chip base. Because of late snow storms followed by rain, and both of us catching Covid19 in the middle of the project, It took over a month!

I've seen some heavy picks but this is ridiculous. :-0

I remember him from the forum years ago. God's Speed GS.

Field of Dreams, he was great in that movie, I liked all his work. A few years back I saw an interview in which he said he had never been in a fight in his life but playing the tough guy was fun. RIP.

Anything from Nashville Skyline

I Am the Walrus? Political? What's the message of Revolution? " Yeah we all want change, but if you identify with communist you can count me out." Come Together? What's political about that? Taxman was their first anti government song, and it protested TAXES!

Fantastic guitar T-Man! Thanks for sharing the photos with us.

As you point out, that was John post Beatles,

True, but they did t write protest songs, that was my point,

That was one of the reasons I liked the Fab Four, they didn't jump on any political band wagons. The two songs they did that came close to being protest or political in nature was Taxman, a song George wrote after loading nearly a years earnings to the extreme high taxes GB placed on top earners, and Revolution , a song that scolded those who waved banners of Mao, and by deduction Che, they were making a political statement saying they are on board with equality and the anti-war movement but oppossed to destructive activism.

Growing up there in the 50s spoiled me, San Diego is ruined for me now. Too many people, when i was a kid Mission Bay was still a landfill! Do you live there now?

I'm correcting myself, we moved to La Quinta in 65, late 65 from Coachella, I worked at the La Quinta Contry Club and Hotel as a busboy when I was in HS. Your right, There was very little there at the time, it was where movie directors and Hollywood types had little winter cottages and few lived there year around. My parents house was on Rubio, our nearest neighbor was Shirley Booth, Frank Capra lived up near the end of the cove, real nice guy. The Hotel and county club closed after memorial day weekend and wouldn't reopen until after labor day because it was so hot. North Shore at the Salton Sea was a resort then where The Beach Boys and a bunch of LA musicians would hang out, there were powerboat races all kinds of stuff going on down there. It's changed so much,

I never saw the Stones in concert, but I did attend the Led Zeplin's 3 hour long concert, I lasted 30 minutes. It was the worst show I ever witnessed, the Salt Palace was emptying out quickly as we bolted. It was almost as if the band didn't know one single Zeplin song! They would start a song, and within 8 bars each player was doing an improvisational interpretation that was out of time and key of the other players. And Plant was dancing around barefoot, screaming incoherently and quite loudly. Having been to a Zombies concert, I feel like I'm a good judge of bad shows, LZ won the prize.

I lived in La Quinta from 66 to 68, moved to the Coachella valley in 63 from San Diego, I hated that sand box.

The irony of this topic is, most of the rock acts and all of the folk/rock acts write songs complaining about capitalism, then they charge outrageous amounts for tickets to their shows, and live in multiple mansions, moan and grown about evil oil companies while collecting expensive sports cars and private jets. And their fans go along with it..a bunch of saps.
