Things are well here Suzie, Thanks.
Having a long hot summer here with temps in the 30C range and little rain to speak of. Not my kind of weather but thankfully my A/C is working great.
Slow up Kiddo & think of You more often as your a short time here and a long time gone. Enjoy! while you can.

Moody Blues: In Search of the Lost Chord
Right up their as one of their best efforts. Very atmospheric with with flutes, sitar, tablas, and cellos all mixed in. Nicely done.
Its also 42 minutes long which i feel is ample for most CD's. Gets the message across without becoming an endurance test as some do.

Buddy Holly & The Crickets: The "Chirping Crickets"
With bonus tracks it pretty much covers the essential songs by the group. He sure did a lot in a very short career. A Fave, then & now.

Mixed reviews on this release, however i like it very much.

Peter Frampton: Wind of Change & Frampton's Camel
2 CD Set with perhaps Wind of Change slightly less powerful than his Frampton's Camel, though both excellent imho. Good listening.

Toy Matinee: Toy Matinee
The one & only CD by the group featuring Patrick Leonard in collaboration with singer/lyricist Kevin Gilbert. It has been out of circulation until lately & i bought the reissue. Its quite a ride. Progessive rock.

I guess i'm too old to appreciate this effort. To me it is a once played piece of crap. It is highly reviewed but i fail to see its merits. Not recommended!

No denying the Steely Dan influence here it jumps right out at you, but they do go in their own direction with excellent musicians. Nicely done CD
