Now that we've watched the POTUS knock the State of the Union out of the park, how about a little musical interlude?



I could watch that all day long.

Here's my favourite Al Green tune, performed live in 1973.



Peace, Love and Soul, my babies.

I LOVE Jimmy Smith's Christmas Album.  This is Holiday music that's great all year round...

This song has been in my head the last few days, so it's what I've been singing to Lenny at bedtime.  Needless to say, much to everyone's disappointment, I do not sound like Sarah Vaughan (duh). 

What's cool about this is that we showed her this delightful little bit of Muppet history (see below) and she totally lit up with recognition when he quotes Lullaby of Birdland.

My child is a genius (duh).

From his 1970 album of the same name, here's Freddie Hubbard with "Red Clay".  I can really get lost in a tune like this.

John Coltrane - Alabama



One of the finest performances ever captured on film, if you ask me.
