Such a Good Start.

Goldfinch60



I wake up,

Downstairs I go,

Put on the radio

Expecting my usual classical music.

But no today was different,

The announcer said

Now for an hour of jazz

From his collection.

And then it started,

Started with one of my favourite groups,

Weather Report started playing.

They enthralled me as ever

And left me knowing

That today would be a great day,

As it had started out so well.

      Well, what can I say about Weather Report.... I have all the studio albums they recorded and some of the live ones. I think the live one's are really only appreciated by their fans tho tbh. I never got to see them,my car broke down on the M4 dammit.
      You might find this link interesting, It's one of the tracks off an album of top jazzers playing a selection of weather report music - all the tracks should be visible on here - highly recommended.

        As I have said before I came across Weather Report in the 1970's and have listened to them ever since.
        That you tube tribute to them is very good, I have listened to a couple of tracks and will listen the the rest.
        Thanks for the link.

        For pities sake - since joining MPS it has taken over my life. I spend more time on this site than I do much anywhere else. There's the correspondence - always something to respond to, argue for, reach a conclusion about. Then there's the music you , DA and others are constantly throwing up for my delectation and delight. Got to keep up.Time and effort involved.
        Oh yeh - doesn't someone do a bit of poetry in there somewhere?
        Love it all - even if I'm mostly wandering around in a swampy daze, wondering when I can next get up close and personal with my PC and MPS.

        Cheers Dave

          Thanks Dave, music and poetry can lead you up and down, around and around but as long as the pleasure fills you body and mind all is well.
          So glad that you have found us on MPS.
