Day 12

Today's #BigBand #Standard is "Stardreams" by Charlie Spivak and his orchestra from 1944.
What a trumpet! Underrated and not as well known, but deserving.

And that's your #CoSoKitchenHint for the day.
Isn't it wonderful to be in a community where we can learn all sorts of cool things?

Good Friday morning heading into the weekend!
It's partly cloudy and 57 F with maybe a bit of rain later. High 74 F.
Beware.
That's your weather, and a warning, from the ancient Blue Ridge.
Be kind today.

Don't forget to wish Albert Einstein happy birthday!

Hi, @Minholkin
I got busy and didn't say good morning.
I hope you have had a wonderful pi day.

Clarinet brings back a memory:
My younger sister played clarinet in school and each time my friends and I went to the mall on the weekend (what one did in 1978) I had to trot to the music store for Mitchell Lurie 4 reeds.

Voyager may be communicating again!

A walk up the mountain this afternoon
I refuse to crop the one of the old homestead.

Did someone say pi?

Day 11

Good morning while it's still morning, @Mandypar!
Happy pi day!

Good morning on this pi day!
Upper 30s F this morning but sunny and nearly 80 F this afternoon, about 20 degrees F above normal.
It will get cold again; this is false spring.
In the meantime, I will enjoy warm-weather clothes.
That's the weather from the ancient VA Blue Ridge.
Be kind and share your pie.

Sometimes the #BigBand #Standard of the day comes in the evening.
"Aren't you glad you're you?" by Doris Day with Les Brown and his Orchestra from 1945.
I am glad I'm me -- my life has challenges, joy, pain, exhaustion, happiness, but I wouldn't want to be anybody else. I seem to be suited to my life.
I hope you feel the same.
Enjoy!

"It's politics. They are afraid of being defeated in the polls and they look for issues. I believe we could have a more responsible Congress if these politicians weren't so worried about keeping their jobs."
George C. Marshall, in and interview with U.S. News and World Report, published just after Marshall's death in November 1959.
