Hit play, on the top or or on the bottom.
Introspection is an invaluable tool that one should use now and then. I think a definition for one of my favorite words sums this idea up nicely.
Catharsis - The term in drama refers to a sudden emotional climax that evokes overwhelming feelings of great sorrow, pity, laughter or any other extreme change in emotion, resulting in restoration, renewal and revitalization in members of the audience.

Two notable quotes:

MP3s played on the 3GHz P4 tower sounded "sticky," so I burned everything on C:\ drive and have begun ripping my music CDs to F:\. Replace the originals, mix 'em up, or do only new stuff? I've chosen the middle course, which leads me to a 1987 CBS show, "Frank's Place." Here's the opening track, done by the incomparable Satchmo.... MORE

I hate to write about Louis Armstrong again (well, that's a lie, but that's another issue), but there’s an interesting tidbit on the back of The Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings box set. It reads like this: “Never have [these recordings] sounded better, thanks to 21st century recording technology and the dogged work of producer Phil Schaap, who searched the world for the best possible original source material for every single cut.” So I had to think about this for...

When You Wish Upon A Star
Louis Armstrong
When you wish upon a star

Fate steps in and see's you through
Moma when you wished upon a star
Your dreams come true

Keepin' out of mischief now
I really am in love and how
I'm through playin' with fire
It's you whom I desire
All the world can plainly see
You're the only one for me
I have told them in advance
They can't break up our romance
Livin' up to all my vows
'Cause I'm keepin' out mischief now
Keepin' out of mischief now
I really am in love and how
I'm through playin' with fire
It's you whom I desire
All the world can plainly see
You're the only one for me

Another tune from the Japanese Jazz Christmas CDs.
Louis Armstrong surely loved the festive season - I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. (For the innocents among you, Louis allegedly smoked reeefer every day of his adult life.) Anyway, these 2 CDs have three tracks by him. Anyone want to heard 'Christmas Night In Harlem'?... MORE
