āDeveloped an aversionā, to a degree.
Less tolerance probably, which
began in my early teenage years
especially after folks began to drive and I
was forced to listened to canned AM radio stations
if I wanted a social life.
Iāll listen to anything once but, AM radio was
a one hour cycle of āpop musicā discomfort.
I like lots of different forms of music.
From Edgar Varese, Luciano Berio, Gilbert and Sullivan,
(I can still belt out a couple of tunes from H.M.S Pinafore.
Some long-term memory is accessible. Short termā¦),
Scott Joplin on up to present day Jazz folks.
Try to get some Stravinsky in my ears each year.
All kinds of āWorld Musicā
Favorite vocalist for a while have been the
Gyoto Monks Tibetan Tantric Choir, (love to find
librettos in roman alphabet), and various manifestations
of the Mongolian Groovinā Tuven throat singers.
Side note: with the handle sunra108 as a remembrance
of the band leader Sun Ra, prodigy of Fletcher Henderson
and founder of the Sun Ra Arkestra, the current
leader of the Arkestra, 99 year old Marshall Allen,
took the Arkestra to Tuven a few years ago to hang out
with the throat singers.
Jazz guitarists are often playing.
My son plays jazz guitar so we listen to everything
we can find old and new.
Led Zepplin? Still like the first three albums.
By the fourth I was gone.
ABB and GD. ABB ārockā tunes are okay. Jam tunes
are awesome.
GDā¦Not into the ballads even if
Jerry soars on a Sugaree, I can appreciate his mastery
but Iām just not into the framework.
Only went to few JGB concerts because of song selection.
Want to hear GD jam tunes, go to relisten.com and checkout
the soundboards from 1968 and 69. Lots of instrumental jamminā.
Mid seventies was a good time to get into jazz.
Weāre the same generation.
We had all the older stuff and the relatively newer
Jazz Fusion stuff was coming on strong.
We share many musical tastes.
Kinda figured OG was a place to find kindred spirits.

The guitar in that is just crazy all over the place with unexpected stuff that all fits. A great classic. Nothing like it in blues based jazz.

RIP, Mr. Lindley. He passed in March of this year.
I recorded the one performance of his I was able to see. I was working for the on-site radio broadcast of a large outdoor music festival (āBig Summer Classicā in August, 2007). It was over 100Ā°F every day and he played on a stage where the sun shone directly upon the dance floor. It was interesting since there were plenty of people listening but they were all scattered around the periphery where there was shade. It appeared as if he was playing for no one. Heās a hell of a storyteller and plays superbly.
Here he is on SNL in 1989 (his band includes George Duke and David Sanborn!) covering Werewolves Of London by his friend Warren Zevon.

Oh man! RIP, Jimmy.
I rarely drink but last night mixed up a batch of minimalist margaritas (tequila, Cointreau, agave syrup, and fresh squeezed lime). Weāll say it was in his honorā¦
