Loved the big band voicings. And that big ol' upright on 1 + 3, then breaking into 4.Definitely prefer the Lolita soundtrack version, although Riddle's arrangement is more dreamlike. I liked the use of horns and woodwinds vs. violins.

You can spend 10-15 minutes in the cereal aisle. I'm old enuff to remember when it was corn flakes, shredded wheat, and raisin bran, 10-15 seconds, max.
Music calms and clears my mind, puts me right out. I’ve learnt not to listen to Tubular Bells while driving. It’s hypnotic and I’m out.

Hi
Sort of here. A little. A nostril swab is highly unpleasant. Right. ER Saturday. Treated and released. Covid-free. UTI and stomach flu laid me low.
Including grits?!I was probably 11 or 12 the last time I eated cereal. That includes hot cereal![]()
Who needs drugs when there's bizarre dreams to ponder
[dream] I'm in Achill (Ireland) and walk through a door to find myself on the other side of the bay. As I look for the door back I watch men going to work in a mine as large rocks fall above the entrance. All the doors I find seem to go nowhere and I find myself on a salt marsh. My right slipper gets soaked. I find a man and explain I need to get to Ennistymon. (That's weird because Ennistymon is in Co. Clare and Achill is in Co. Mayo.) He says he can't help, and I declare I'm going to hitchhike back. As I make my way to the road, the city I'm in is unrecognizable to me [/dream]

We played this at jazz camp a few years ago. Tons of fun! I might have a recording of it. Have to check the archives.
Saw them live a few years back. Great band and entertainers!

Brace yourself, sport: They're both Nelson Riddle arrangements!Definitely prefer the Lolita soundtrack version, although Riddle's arrangement is more dreamlike. I liked the use of horns and woodwinds vs. violins.
Well, blow me down. Riddle also did some excellent work with Sinatra.Brace yourself, sport: They're both Nelson Riddle arrangements!

As long as we're getting into big bands, here's some New Orleans spice with Tuba Skinny playing at a jazz fest in
Châtel-Guyon, France.
