Whats on your turntable tonight?

Terrapin Station - Grateful Dead...the title track is really something

Sing to Me Mr. C - Perry Como...wonderful RCA Victor Living Stereo recording from yesteryear. Wonderful sound! Vocals and harmonies that simply shimmer! They don't make 'em like this anymore. The distinctive sound quality makes this a very interesting and worthwhile listen.

two recent discoveries that I am listening to almost every day now...if you like modern jazz, check out Brian Blade & The Fellowship Band "Season of Changes" and Christian Scott "Anthem". Highly recommended.

In memory of the passing of Pink Floyd's Richard Wright:

Pink Floyd
"Piper at the Gates of Dawn"
"Meddle"
"Animals"

David Gilmour
"On an Island"

Yep, "Animals" and "Dark Side of the Moon" for me tonight. Magical albums.
