Jazz for aficionados

Not playing, O-10.  Read what I said again and don’t read into it.  Easy. 

Except for the studio/live part.  The studio always benefits those with lesser vocal instruments; hence the expression “We can fix it in the mix”.  


Frogman,  those were your words; explain to me what I misinterpreted?

These are the modern times. We can’t live without modern technologies but we are surely paying the price of using it. The picture of a group of a friends in a cafe bar, sitting at the same table, not talking to each other but using their smart phones instead, is a picture everyone’s familiar with. C-19 made it worst. Now the friends are doing the same, just this time their mouth and half of their faces are covered with mask. One can give a smile to another, with eyes only.

Funny, I thought modern times will make us, due to fact that we know more and that we are able to reach for more, more liberated, more free of the chains, but instead we are being trapped in every possible way. Economically, politically, socially and personally.

I vote for old times, old music, if music is able to grow old at all.

I find more happiness in all shapes of life, in older times. Some of you might say that I talk like that because I was younger back then and that kids even today or many years ago, feel the same, joy and play, regardless of the time they are facing but I would disagree. You can agree to disagree but I do not care or I might disagree with you to agree to disagree.

Yesterday I watched movie "Hector and the Search for Happiness" and the movie was often very funny. Pity the end had happy end, what over-sweetened the movie but till that point it was quite laughable and watchable piece.

From the movie:
"Lesson no. 20: Happiness is a certain way of seeing things."

This could be the right conclusion for the above mentioned words.

Enjoy your day and...

He says:
"Put on a happy face." I guess everybody has its way. But these guys did not count on masks for sure...

Mary_jo, plague or no plague, I was living in the past before it struck. Covid 19 is just an addition to all the present jive BS.

I was just thinking about you, and like magic here you are in the beautiful living flesh. I'm going to write something especially for you; I don't mean that it pertains to you or that it is about you, but here it is.

This is one of the saddest songs ever written, that's because gigolo and gigolette are thinking of the lost love of their lives while they are dancing down the Boulevard of Broken Dreams; they kiss without regret because even then they're thinking of someone else.

The more intense they attempt to make their affair, the more they think of that someone in the past, but when you're dancing down "The Boulevard of Broken Dreams" you gotta do the best you can.

Isn’t that something we should do regardless of anything? Do the best of what we can, even though things do not meet our wishes each time or shall I say, most of the time. Should we aim to learn to ask for less or is it just as it should be, never knew that answer.

But you know what, I do believe in broken illusions. Broken Dream sounds too heavy to bear, it is almost as serious as Broken Heart. Broken illusion is something easier to handle with. You break what is breakable anyway.

Thank you for beautiful song, O-10.
