One of the (many) great Ellington records. When my kids were little and taking lessons on Saturday’s I got to visit with Jeff Castleman (bass on a few cuts here) who was selling pianos at the time.

Thinking about my former coworker who made “breakfast lasagne” with: frozen French toast, apple pie filling, cheddar cheese, sausage, sour cream, and brown sugar. Somehow I never accepted a dinner invitation… I mostly suck I guess.

Just bought tickets to see The Cookers in February and Mali Obomsawin in April. Not sure who is in either band (turmoil in the tenor chair for The Cookers) and Sweet Tooth came out a while back on @ooyhrecords.bsky.social so expect changes - but still excited!
