Charlie Byrd - First Flight 1980

Classical/Nylon String guitar is not overly common in jazz. This recording is mostly mellow but Byrd does swing on a few tunes. ….with Bobby Donaldson, Al Lucas and Tommy Newsom (from the Tonight Show Band).

Here’s “A Foggy Day”

Another icon gone:

Very sad to hear of Rick Derringer’s passing:

Below a well worn copy of “Johnny Winter And”. Amazing that he was 21 years old on this recording.

Blue Benson - ‘68

With Herbie, Billy Cobham, Ron Carter.
Varied offerings on this: straight ahead, some blues, a couple standards, and a George tribute to Wes. Song choices make it a little uneven, but very good nonetheless

“Investors’ unwillingness to believe that Trump would overturn the global trading order has to be seen as a willful blindness to who he is and what matters to him,” writes @jamessurowiecki.bsky:
Wall Street Blew It
Investors discounted everything Trump has ever said about trade and tariffs. We’re all going to pay for that mistake.

Fox News alert:

“Bondi also mentioned that, under Trump's directive, the Department of Justice (DOJ) will begin seeking the death penalty for those convicted of violent crimes.”

Maybe she hasn’t been paying attention.

A “perk” of DOGE:

Former Social Security Commissioner Marin O’Malley

“Ultimately, you’re going to see the system collapse and an interruption of benefits,” O’Malley said. “I believe you will see that within the next 30 to 90 days.”

Good piece by @peterbakernyt.bsky.social It’s baffling how Trump supporters choose not to see it and elected Republicans look the other way.

In the first month since Trump returned to power, he has demonstrated once again a brazen willingness to advance distortions, conspiracy theories and outright lies to justify major policy decisions. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

Congratulations to the Canadian hockey team for playing a great game. Very happy for our neighbors to the north, the game means the world to them. Too bad that the orange monkey cast a shadow over the game by his stupid remarks. 1st time cheering for a team playing against the US
