A great half hour of chill beats way before chill beats was a thing.

Upstairs Dave and Sherri are making some kind of bacon scramble. I'm taking up pancakes.

Looks like the surviving episodes of Jazz Casual have been uploaded. Also an out-of-print DVD box set. "If Ken Burns' 10-disc 'Jazz' is a freshman lecture, this is a senior recital." EDIT: Some on streaming services and a good short read: https://jazzhistoryonline.com/ralph-j-gleason/

Kit No. 2

District 97, Stay for the Ending -- just released, I got my physical copy yesterday, so great, very prog, much prog, high production values, RIYL Steven Wilson, Jethro Tull, American Idol (I jest, I jest!), lots of dynamics (gets very hard and very soft)

Street Survivors Lynyrd Skynyrd 1977 https://album.link/i/1484692844 Example: Remembering Ronnie on the anniversary of the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash on this day in 1977. The album that was released three days before the crash that took 6 people's lives. I saw them once they regrouped with brother Johnny singing in 1988, along with the Rossington Collins Band at the Concord Pavilion. It was a good show, but of course not the same. Edit: Correction - SEP 27, 1987 - at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre... {Friend Richard, who has a much better memory than myself provided clues to find the actual show). Oh and here is the setlist - https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/lynyrd-skynyrd/1987/irvine-meadows-amphitheatre-irvine-ca-1bc6ddc8.html

Our cat sometimes sleeps inside the bass drum of my son's drum set, crawling in thru the port on the front head. Helps that he has a small pillow inside as well.
