Being on a vacation is amazing. We had a truly wonderful visit with Margaret in RI today, and are now on the Cape with my Bro and SIl, doing Family Internet Cafe. Smile In between, we stopped to see Wickford Harbor and other places where my mother did her best oil paintings. And! Just yesterday when I took a really old frame off one of Mom's paintings, I found a paper behind one showing a billing my mother had hand-lettered for a record hop that my dad MC'd...in the very town that we were going to visit Margaret today. AND! After stopping at Wickford Harbor, we arrived and my brother had a surprise for me: My mother's painting of WIckford Harbor! (And he didn't know we had just been there.) And! I had recently received some old paintings of my Mom's and brought some for him to choose from! I tell you, the synchronicity has been blowing us away!
The Internet is amazing. Last night I was browsing Chet Baker albums on RYM and came across one from 1970 called "Blood, Chet and Tears." Is that a great title, or what? The track listing looked great too, since that's a period whose music I like. And, yes, I spotted two Blood Sweat and Tears songs on the album. Didn't find it on British or American amazon, though I did buy a couple other albums, including a boxed set of his complete sessions with Gerri Mulligan.. Can't wait to get that one! Just now I checked GEMM, which had the LP, one US addition and one European addition. I bought American. You can find just about anything on the Internet!
Found my Donny and Marie records on RYM - well, three by Donny and one by Marie and one of them together. It's funny how the mind works. I haven't looked at or thought about those album covers in thirty years, yet recognized them all immediately. Kind of embarrassing to admit to the world that I own these records but, then again, they're listed on RYM so presumably other people admit to owning them.
