  4. I literally just posted elsewhere that his version (seen him live regularly on his December circuits) of Carol of the Bells is one of the few examples of Xmas music I can stand. I could have taken this video -- this angle is literally what I remember most about him -- always tried to get a seat slightly to stage right so that I could see him play. What's funny is that my style of improvising on the piano is very similar -- I distinctly remember that feeling of "running out of keyboard" at the top and just playing the same riff over and over until I could figure out a way to unpaint myself out of the corner. 😆

  7. We just booked tickets to arrive on Thursday Feb 23 and we are staying after the weekend to visit our daughter and other friends. Friday afternoon at Other Half and Finback in Gowanus Brooklyn, along to sandwiches from Court Street Grocers nearby is my proposal for kicking things off...

  9. I'm in without even realizing you guys had a thread already going. A coworker is going and convinced me to go too. I've got the hotel booked already for Fri-Mon Now that I know you all will be there, I may extend my stay and now I am excited.

  10. ^ literally, just one of my favorite albums of all time. When it came out in the early 80s on Windham Hill records, it blew my mind. I didn't know that music like that could exist and be played by one person on one piano. Same thing happened when I heard Michael Hedges playing the guitar. Happy to have had the chance to see both of them live back in the day. Thanks for the reminder Ric.

  11. 50yo Talking Book Stevie Wonder 1972 https://album.link/i/1440485202 Example: He had two albums in '72 - This one is the one to listen to (the other Music of My Mind). Two big hits on this with You Are The Sunshine Of My Life and Superstition with the latter being a killer track to this day. But, I definitely been missing out on some additional sweet tracks. It is a mix of good funk (example track that I wanted to share) and super soft tracks (You and I), showing future directions into 'I just called to say I love you'. I don't mind the mix, but I would have had different order of the tracks. The slow downs are too slow, it takes the energy out of the flow, where it should just give you a break and transition into the next track. Superstition should be on a rise to a peek, not the start of a rise. Small complaint, enjoyable album. And of course it ends with a track from one of my favorite movies: There are a lot of rules.

  14. The bomb cyclone knocked out power in Northfield (and a good chunk of the rest of Vermont). But we got our generator working on propane so we have working heat, refrigerator, stove and outlets in one room. Trying to conserve propane to just use the essentials since this is the first time we used this generator in Vermont and it is unclear how long this may last. Update: The power came back on around 6:15. The generator worked great and we were able to make a nice dinner and finish eating before power was restored. We feel pretty good about the first test.

  15. Well, the power came back on later that night. My mother was in the hospital until Monday. She had emergecy surgery to fix an intestinal problem that had been going on for nearly a decade. I'm now going to be here in scenic western Mass until Jan 5th. I'm not sure how long my mother will be here. There are a great many implications here, but the end result is that I will be spending the holidays in W.Mass, but not doing things like resuming my radio show (the gear for which is in boxes.) Definitely some interesting times going on right now.
