Hi Lee Chit!

This is magnificent!!!

In 1978 Chick Corea wrote a suite for the woody Herman big band. I grabbed this a while ago but my first listen tonight.

Side two is the band with Walter Becker and Donald Fagen doing versions for Steely Dan tunes. (Haven’t got to that yet, but I expect my mind will be blown.

EDIT- on side two now- it’s the big band doing the arrangements by Becker and Fagen. (Kid Charlemagne now)

Lifelong student / listening = bliss
Earlier today we were kicking around some ideas for a home electronics lab/workspace that I've been promising myself for the last half of my career.
Of course, no conversation like that is complete without considering the Feng Shui aspect -- which always leads to the subject of 'chi'.

So this would obviously remind me of the 2 following videos involving the guy I'd most like to pattern my own 'retirement' after: - The Shat -

To properly set up the 2nd video (which is what I'm listening to 2nite) ...I first need you to watch video #1, ~30 seconds in length:

{The Shat, well past normal retirement age, driving ~160mph as a 'Celebrity Racer'}

And here's the second video. William Shatner is on Conan O'Brien's late night show. Conan proceeds to goof on The Shat about the Woooo thing.
And then somebody takes both videos & makes it into this third video - a remix w/a nifty beat:

So that's at least 3 layers all melded together. Whoever made this up would be a fascinating person to hang out with...

****

Now what? Well, the next time you are hanging out with fellow trekkies and/or need to liven up a quiet family function, feel free to
share the wealth.

It really makes people laugh...and a few dance with joy.

Cheers --

Victim of the record bug since age five
Celebrating 67 years of age with a nice new record from Marla:

Went to WarMalt today for a prescription refill, they had the half speed RM/RE on 2x 45rpm. I’m a sucker for 45rpm albums, so I put the $35.97 on my Visa. “The Wall” was my cutoff album for Floyd, but I do like this one.

They also had the Metallica “Black” album, RM/RE on 2x 180g “some blacker marbled vinyl.” Another $27.97 on the Visa…

Impulse purchases… Should have shopped Discogs…

No such things as bad days, just bad moments

Maybe it's a momentary lapse of memory but what is RM/RE?
