I tried to share the beauty I saw with others but my words came out soggy, wet, and dripping or tasting of color

This day in history the Sex Pistols released “God Save the Queen”

They were DEF not the first punk band, but this could be considered the first time punk emerged from the small clubs onto daily headlines.

Weird, scary, unmedicated words of wisdom.

I’ve been neglectful to my Bluesky home. Maybe I’ll work on making some skeets while b-b-bored @ work. So many pictures of kitties and witty thoughts and to share.

I feel comfortable saying that if I 100% real, no hyperbole survive this month there will be treats and surprises to come from me.

another spring song for me. Part of it is simply the “daffodil” in the title.Another reason is a specific heartbreaking memory linked to this occurred during spring.There’s more,but prefer to be a man of mystery.🤩🫠

The weak ass forsythia I mentioned.

Also, I found the lyrics you selected great. I like when people share what stands out to them and compare them to pops out to you.

CHESS

#6: The King Swings (Williams - see #1)

Lineup: as Post #3 (The Isolated Pawn)

A second clip from "Jazz Scene USA" (> Post #3). Manne's group recorded 2 chess suites. But to me, the 1961 album surpasses "Gambit" (4 pieces by Charlie Mariano), 1957.

#2: Emerald Tears (Holland)

Dave Holland: db solo

Oslo, Aug 1977

Yes, of course ECM. But not tending to bleak, as that label occasionally has been. A well-cut, multi-faceted, coruscating gem in the middle & deeper registers of music.
