Allan Songer Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 I spent the last few days putting in a new sprinkler system in my front yard----310 feet of pipe and 37 heads. Late yesterday afternoon I poured myself a VERY generous dose of Booker's and blew the roof off! Don Patterson "Hip Cake Walk" Prestige LP James Carter "In Carterian Fashion" Atlantic CD Big John Patton "Let 'Em Roll" Blue Note LP Freddie Roach "Good Move" Blue Note LP Freddie Roach "Mo' Greens Please" Blue Note LP Lou Donaldson "Good Gracious" Blue Note LP Brother Jack McDuff "Screamin'!" Prestige LP Stanley Turrentine (w/ Shirley Scott) "Never Let Me Go" Blue Note LP Jimmy Smith "Cool Blues" Blue Note CD When this session wound up I was tired, a little bit drunk and very happy!

Deang Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Wow, almost 8 straight hours of tunes -- no wonder you hit the Bookers. Man, you put on a concert and didn't even invite anyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted May 29, 2003 Author Share Posted May 29, 2003 Yeah--was home alone. Started about 3:00 and finished up around 10:00. Haven't sat in front of the Cornwalls for that long a stretch in MONTHS. What a gas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted May 29, 2003 Author Share Posted May 29, 2003 Nope. It's not that big of a yard, and there isn't really a lawn to speak of. In a former life my wife spent 14 lost years designing anti-skid braking system for McDonnell-Douglas and she designed this system and it shows! We have lots of palms and cycads and mondo grass and a small dichondra lawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjohnsonhp Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 8 hours....I guess the rumor that Cornwalls are "fatiguing" is over exaggerated or started by those driving them with the wrong electronics I listened for about 4 hours last night at modest levels while I did job related work on the PC until 2am. This listening wasn't as critical as your concert. I went to sleep mindlessly repeating "a love supreme, a love supreme, a love supreme..." which was stuck in my mind. Iggy Pop - Best of Mozart - Clarinet & Oboe Concertos (christopher Hogwood) -- select tracks City of Angels Soundtrack -- John Coltrane - A Love Supreme SACD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
