FReeper Canteen ~ Tunes For Our Troops! ~ 14 January 2017

Serving The Best Troops and Veterans In The World !! | The Canteen Crew

[ConorMacNessa]

A good week, thanks. I went down to Southern Florida to visit my son David. A good visit.

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

I’ll admit I had to laugh last night when you said you had an appointment in the morning. That’s ok. You’re still new to this retirement thing and you’ll learn quickly enough. LOL

Roll back da videos. :-) There was a bit of action at the NEFL nest. I assume it was E16 standing since it’s the older one. Still wobbly but doing a decent job of standing. AND eating a little bit of fish all by itself.

There’ll be action at the Berry nest soon enough. Never much to see during brooding.

Once I realized the Latvian eagles had bands, I rolled back the video to get scaps of both sets of them. Bands make things a lot easier to ID them by than having to look for tiny differences in feather markings or colors. But I’ve gotten pretty good at that, too, over the years with the birds that aren’t banded.
I prefer easier. :-)

ELLA FITZGERALD: “GET OUT OF TOWN”

If you’re going to do it, do it right! Ella’s 1956 recording backed by Buddy Bregman takes it to a smoke-filled piano bar late at night. What a voice! Your screen will go blurry at the end.

Howdy, Kathy.

Snowing at a pretty good clip up there now, isn’t it? And you’ve warmed up to a whoppin’ 17 degrees!

Is your shoulder feeling any better today?

I wasn’t sleeping. Gave Jade another breathing treatment and it was at the wrong time, dang it. Priorities though. :-)

THAD JONES: “GET OUT OF TOWN”

This 1955 recording shows how a lesser Cole Porter tune could be adapted to a brilliant bebop treatment. Charlie Mingus’ bass line is a lot of fun. This is a Progressive Jazz classic.

What exactly do you do with poor little Jade to give her a treatment?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sorry...the ping is late.

Sending out prayers for Arrowhead1952 as he recovers from his horrible fall.

ROSEMARY CLOONEY: “GET OUT OF TOWN”

Rosemary waited until the Eighties to cover the various composers of the Great American Songbook. This 1982 recording turns to a small jazz club arrangement. She has some great sidemen backing her up.
