Great blue hydrangea and 'boppin' bass
This time of year is so beautiful especially with the attractive pinks and blues of all the hydrangea. Also it is a sleek and choice time to get back to the basic core of solid jazz music. Of course that particular domain is that of the acoustic bass artists. Men like the vivid bassist, Christian McBride, a soul who set everything so super right. The person that hits so intensely resounding in the bass world is of course the wonderful master, Ray Brown. I heard the one and only Oscar Peterson on keyboard and R. Brown on the bass a long time ago. It changed the vessels of my inner self. I am not just another overdone, verbose scatologist, no sir because good bass men have helped me find what is really artistically poignant in one's humpty dumpty life. It sometimes is needed this getting back to the core...look at the late summer hydrangea blooms and feel the meaning of the earth. 'Ole Thoreau knew what things were good. Hydrangea time rocks. The art of Rothko is so meaningful.

Nice Writing
THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy. He does not use too many adjectives. His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.

COOLING OFF WITH WEST COAST JAZZ is loads of fun. The temp is wildly hot now and so I listened to Art Pepper jazz, grand West Coast stuff....
