A sudden change in direction (as I’m not home alone any longer)

Will be a nice soup for tomorrow.

Making soup and listening to this.

FYI I enjoyed the Clutchy Hopkins CDr of Misled Children Meet Odean Pope so much I ordered real copy…

Was looking at some CDs on @discogsofficial.bsky.social and saw a Garrison Fewell CD for sale that led me back to this handmade collection from him. Been gone 10 years…

Pretty sure the evangelical rapture fantasy for tomorrow is NOT in celebration of Coltrane’s birth. I will however be celebrating and expecting to not be raptured for sure.

Decided I can’t always play Mehldau - Your Mother Should Know for company so trying this instead.

Current jam. Gotta start on dinner soon. We have company coming.

Really not sure why this was at the flea but I’m good with ooioo at flea pricing.

The more interesting LPs from this AM.

One of today’s LPs - not so common in Minnesota.

Was busy at the flea this morning - gotta get through a ton of stuff - CDs were .25 to .50 each…

Picked up for $1 at lat week’s flea market. Every tune is at worst wonderful.

Someone has been ambitious over at the park

Damn. If the country is down to only 40 million I’d expect things to be cheaper…

Alice Stuart and Snake - Believing.

FYI spent $5 on Hawaiian LPs at the flea today.

Wadada and Amina this evening. Magnificent.

One of those records that is so deeply etched in my mind I was singing Catta as headed over to the turntable to put it on.

One I often go back to.

Admiring the weeds while waiting for my oil chang - many butterflies and busy bees…

Was just reading Lewis Porter’s Substack on Hawkins’ Picasso…

Johnny Griffin, Wilbur Ware, Jr. Mance and Buddy Smith.

Breakfast tunes

Grouper - Shade. Judgement currently reserved.

What I’m playing for dinner.

Anyway I went to see Tarbaby (Orrin Evans, Eric Revis, Nasheet Waits) on Tuesday. A spectacular working band. They seemed genuinely happy the whole night. Saturday is Wadada and Amina at the Walker. A very nice week.

In the mid 80’s swing players were still gong strong. Glad this was recorded.

Entering 20th century audio technology…

MN bluegrass for a starter

Went to a show last night that had moments but was mostly stiff and odd in a not very good way.

First day of availability / get ‘em while you still can.

Question for people still working on career advancement. Has LinkedIn become a wasteland of bots and assorted ways to part you from your money as opposed to a useful community? I’m not active at all - but so much garbage comes my way….

FYI the tea towel goes with my socks…

Peak high school record right here

It was certainly wrong to break sanctions and politically off base to align with the the anti ANC crowd - but the record itself is the best thing he did without Garfunkel.

Gil e Jorge

Pop music evening - current (Telepaths from @iheartnoise.bsky.social) and about 35 years old but still grand.

Vanilla ice cream with scotch and espresso powder is the ideal dessert after any meal.

Cowboy Junkies first album.

End of summer dinner

Two 78 albums from this morning’s flea.

The standard 2 eye stereo (in shrink) for this afternoon’s entertainment.

Still in shrink at the flea for a buck! Love the Holiday sticker. Records at the C-Store.

Picked up for a buck. One side of Coltrane Quartet - one side of Thad Jones with Al Grey and Billy Mitchell - one side of Lee Morgan, Wayne and Timmons - us a compilation side oc Roulette’s “hits”. Worthy.

Going to look at records soon but irritating my wife with this first. Steve Lehman Trio + Mark Turner Play Anthony Braxton.

Current jam

Confession - I have watched the first three episodes of Wednesday season two and I can’t recall why I enjoyed season one. Soooo boring.

Flea market this morning. Worth the trip.

PSA Do not wear sandals while cooking. Related: Do not drop boiling jam on your foot. That is all.
