Great Grant Green guitar work on this record. Lee is the man!
Now playing Pure Prairie League - Bustin’ Out
The incomparable Lady Fitz (Oscar Peterson's pet name for her) singing Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady." This version is fine on so many levels...
A favorite from The David Grisman Quintet's first album. Incidentally, E.M.D. stands for Eat My Dust! 
Now playing Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds Of Fire
Okay. Which? What is everyone’s favourite Steely Dan album? At the moment, mine is 1974’s Pretzel Logic. But it changes from time to time.
Ok, I am risking getting some ridicule for posting this, but I'm still doing it anyway. A couple of months ago I decided to listen to some current pop music just out of curiosity, and one of the used CDs I got was Billie Eilish's latest album. I was rather impressed with her music and composing ability. So I wanted to try her earliest album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Clearly about dreams and nightmares showing her maybe searching for her musical identity, or even exorcising some personal demons. Some of her songs are really dark, but the level of maturity of song writing is pretty amazing for a 17 year old. The bass on the album is overpowering to say the least, but with judicial use of the tone controls it can be a very interesting listening experience.
This song, Bury A Friend has pretty disturbing lyrics, and the video is right out of a psychological horror movie. Seeing videos of her in person in interviews and SNL skits she seems to be a totally different person. For me she's a very talented and interesting composer, and I can't wait to see what she does in the future. (Sorry about the long post)

You would never guess that Techno/Trance is my favorite genre, but it is and has been for decades. In May of 2025 I found this gem.
Aja, Royal Scam, Countdown to Ecstasy, Pretzel Logic, Gaucho, hell I’ve never been able to pick a favorite.
After purchasing their "The Very Best of Steely Dan" (2CD), felt no need to get the individual albums.
Was listening to "Deacon Blues".
