  1. #TimeTravelingGhost EP 10: Post 94: 1191, Nicosia, Cyprus

    Emily and I returned to our stateroom. Any private place would have done. It wasn’t as if we needed to sleep or pack, but it was convenient.

    Before tripping, I made sure that we were still in agreement. “We're asking to meet a potential ally who will help us, correct?”

    Emily nodded.

    I took her hand, and we repeated together, “Take us to a friendly ally who can help us.” We skipped the conditionals; they hadn’t worked before and presented a complicating risk. If things were too dangerous wherever we ended up, we were ready to wish ourselves elsewhere.

    The Titanic’s cabin faded gently. Whatever had caused our discomfort last time was no longer in effect. The stark whiteness was replaced by a crowded, dimly lit room with weathered wooden walls. I sat at a stained, unvarnished table. In the background, someone was singing a Greek #song. It was a smoky voice, a Greek Ella Fitzgerald, that matched the sultry atmosphere smelling of fresh bread, cooked grains and beans, as well as wine.

    I took in all these details in an instant before finding a knife pressed to my throat. Despite being alert for trouble, I was caught off guard by the suddenness of it.

    Flustered and panicked, I lost Emily’s hand before I could time-trip away.

  7. Zaz has impeccable taste in music, as you can see.
    What could be better on a sunny Saturday morning than sitting on a windowsill with a full tummy, soaking up the rays and the notes? It helps to calm the stress of wondering when your next meal might arrive.

    We all wish you a bright day full of what you love best!

  8. Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong – Ella and Louis (1956, US)

    Our next spotlight is on number 1008 on The List, submitted by Annaspanner.

    While our last spotlight looked at a globetrotter of an album, this one looks at a homebody of an album, a “I think I’ll just stay in” album. Put this one on and it’s like Ella and Louis just stopped by with a few friends (Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown, and Buddy Rich) and instruments in tow – just to say hello, see how you’re doing, bring over that pie recipe you were asking about – and spontaneously started playing whatever tune came to mind before grabbing their coats and heading back into the night. Gorgeous.

  10. Musical Interlude: From out of nowhere this old song came to mind today. Can't explain it, but here we go...

    "You'll Have to Swing It (Mr. Paganini)," performed by Ella Fitzgerald.

  11. #EllaFitzgerald (1917 - 1996 )

    Everybody wants to know about my style and how it came about. It's no big secret. It's the way I feel.
