Yesterday I posted a link to Frank Sinatra's fine rendition of the Cole Porter standard What Is This Thing Called Love?, noting its, "...hauntingly moody interpretation"

Always listening to a variety of things throughout the day — from all different genres and different decades. Two albums I listened to today in particular: Close to the Edge by Yes (which was a favorite of @cigrmaster) and Odessey and Oracle by The Zombies. Both excellent albums to listen to in their entirety. Happy Friday, and happy smoking to one and all!

@keith929 Tip of the hat. Been a great album so far.
