we had friends from 4H when we lived in New Mexico that we’d help out when they needed. they’ve still got ~5500 acres near Lindrith

they had two cattle dogs, Ding and Dong, that would ride in the saddle

seems a lifetime ago
I've never owned a good cow dog. but the real goods ones are something else
i’m pretty sure those two are the reason i’ve got two now and will probably never have a different breed

loyal to a fault

but yes, the good working ones are a sight to behold
I think I've mentioned this before but a couple years ago I watched one at auction go for $43k

I really like this one, probably my favorite of his.

and of course this is a dandy

i don’t know that i’ve found one of his that i don’t like, which is kind of odd

Kate McKinnon is the one that really got me interested in him

one thing i’ve noticed, but haven’t looked into further, is how much different his voice sounds on different tracks/albums…i’m assuming it’s age or maybe even surgery related, but it almost sounds like two different people singing (at least to me)

edit: i really expected one of your links to be Devil Wears a Suit and Tie

that's a good one too (Kate McKinnon), and devil wears a suit and tie is awesome too ha.

He has a unique style. I have to be in the mood for it, but hes really good at what he does. I like most of his stuff

Listening to Kansas; Song for America tonight. Ehart is underapreciated to say the least. One of the great albums of the 70s. Got to see them do most of it at Royals stadium.

Masterful. We were lucky to grow up in that era. They had religious undertones but it was always in a way of giving thanks. There are some alternative bands out there, and I hope this pushes crappy artists out of the limelight again.

whoa, rad...this bumble babe just invited me to go see John Scofield tonight! She's got the hookup on tickets and everything!

It's his trio, which is usually way jazzier than his more groove-jam-fusion-y other band, or his MMW stuff.

Bill Stewart on drums, who is on the Mount Rushmore of modern jazz drummers.

I'm excited! And also hope this babe is cool with showing up to the show completely wrecked on edibles.

Jazz, to me, always sounds like every musician playing is playing a different song than the others.

I realize jazz is pretty abstract and uppity a more like, scholarly intellectual nerd approach to music, and such.

I think the thing that did it for me was growing up playing in jazz bands...Olathe public schools represent!

Specifically, it was whichever band teacher or music instructor who advised, "to appreciate jazz, try humming the melody as a good improv player solos." Once you do that, you realize a good jazz solo is actually just a creative spin on the melody itself. Your ear gets trained to hear it.

But yea, that's all uppity and intellectual, when I honestly otherwise think most good music is not, and is some more accessible collective communal thing.

In a sense, I think it's more difficult to write like a good pop song or a simple nursery rhyme, than it is to write some technical jazz or math rock kinda shit.

Oh, and whatever kind of music you thing is good, it's also gonna be made better by edibles.

(Except for The Eagles.)

If you listen to Kind of Blue by Miles, Phenix by Cannonball Adderley, Blues and the Abstract Truth by Lee Morgan, Images by Phil Woods, Brubeck, and Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin, you can ease into Jazz. After a while, the lack of complexity of other music bores you, short of natural talents that drill through the sameness. Growing up in Lawrence, I got to listen to Dick Wright's Jazz Scene on KANU on Saturday mornings. Jazz in the night every week night. I remember hearing Song for my Father by Horace Silver, and it floored me. KC Blues by Don Ellis with an extended alto break leading into a multi-part harmonization of Bird's original solo. Jazz is all about complex emotions and reflections. Some great Coltrane ballads out there. Love Stan Getz ballads too. It has been there for me, challenging me and comforting me my whole life. So grateful to have grow up surrounded by it. My family enjoyed classic country music, but that genre really turned into bad pop unless you followed traditional bluegrass and alternative performers. Jazz has a lot of young lions out there. The group that is roughly in the PDub age group is outstanding. Bob Reynolds got me into listening to Snarky Puppy. Free jazz like Ornette played is an acquired taste, and it seems to be the thing people reference when dissing jazz. Easy target, but if you follow the threads, the hypercomplexity becomes easier to follow as you pickup the referenced passages and wild chord changes. But I prefer ballads anyway.

That Coltrane could ingest this saccharine infused song...

...and he could see this in it, is about all you need to say about his musical prowess.
