Tomorrow's the big day ~ SPRING! I know it doesn't feel very Spring-y but the sun will return, promise.
I also promise you'll love Blossom Dearie's "They Say It's Spring"; she debuted it in 1958. By Marty Clark (#lyric) & Bob Haymes (#music), it's got this ten bar refrain that's just the bee's knees. I'm determined to cover it (in my key), make it last six minutes LOL

Blue Christmas Again
I’ve had a very busy penultimate week of term and am out of energy so instead of attempting a new post I thought I’d repost this “festive” classic. I posted this one during the “festive” season” in 2013 and haven’t posted it since. Until now. The band is led by none other than Miles Davis; the other members are Frank Rehak (trombone), Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), Paul Chambers (bass), Jimmy Cobb (drums), and Willie Bobo (bongos); the arrangement is unmistakably by Gil Evans. The vocalist is the legendary Bob Dorough who also wrote the lyrics.
“Bah Humbug” never sounded so cool!
P.S. I’m not particularly blue myself, just tired…

😂 I'd not heard this tune before. It's excellent. Especially the lyrics.
"Lots of hungry, homeless children in your own backyards
While you're very, very busy addressing
Twenty zillion Christmas cards
Now, Yuletide is the season to receive and oh, to give and ah, to share
But all you December do-gooders rush around and rant and rave and loudly blare"#jazz #nowListening #milesDavis #blueXmas #christmasMusic #gilEvans #bobDorough

Somewhere in the ancient mystic trinity
You get 3 as a magic number
past
present
futurefaith
hope
charityheart
brain
bodyGive you 3 as a magic number
It takes 3 legs to make a tripod
or to make a table stand
It takes 3 wheels to make
a vehicle called a tricycle
Every triangle has 3 corners
Every triangle has 3 sides
No more, no less
You don't have to guess
When it's 3, you can see
It's a magic number

I hear there’s a #30DaySongChallenge?
Today is Day 2: A song you like with a number in the title. This’ll probably date me, but how about “Three is a Magic Number” from #SchoolhouseRock? Because you can never go wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUXLfzS4rfc -
I don't think any track surprised me more than this one the first time I heard it.
Perfect #valentine 's day song
Nothing like you has ever been seen before.

5️⃣0️⃣ yrs ago
My hero 0️⃣
Such a funny little hero
But 'til you came along
we counted on our 🖐🏽 & toes.
Now you're here to stay
and nobody really knows
how wonderful you are.
Why, we could never reach a 🌟
Without you 0️⃣ my hero
How wonderful you are
What's so wonderful about a 0️⃣❔
It's nothing, isn't it❔
Sure, it represents nothing alone
But place a 0️⃣ after 1️⃣
and you've got yourself a 🔟
See how important that is❔
