Welcome to September!
"September Song" by Frank Sinatra is, for me, the finest version of this Maxwell Anderson, Kurt Weill masterpiece. It's from one of my "desert island discs" Point Of No Return.
Starting off the month by celebrating Jerry Garcia's birthday, he would have 79 today.
Here is a wonderful live performance from The Late Show with David Letterman, of "Friend Of The Devil" with Jerry, Dave Grisman and the Late Show band.
As this is the month of celebrating the birth of America, let's start off with a great performance of "America The Beautiful" by Ray Charles, during a Fourth of July PBS Special.
Starting the month with this timely tune that mentions Chicago's weather, "See You In The Spring" by sisters Martie and Emily, of the Dixie Chicks, performing as the Court Yard Hounds, and featuring Bob's son, Jakob Dylan
I've been listening to the album Duet, with Chick Corea and Hiromi.
Here's an apropos tune for today, "The Fool On The Hill"
