Billy Strayhorn’s version of “Lush Life,” sounding as though he’s writing it while he’s playing it (which he did):

[Fiji Hill]

This song is almost certainly about a cat.

Kirby the cat is featured in this video.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.
Bet you’re happy the weekend is here. A nice start to it with all the sunshine, though it’s a bit nippy for comfort.
The mountains got a good dusting yesterday.

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

You’re a little late this evening. You’re normally on Kathy’s heels when she opens the Canteen’s door. :-)

[FamiliarFace]

Cool cats reminded me of this song, which includes a cat named Meatball in the video. “My cat lays in the window”…

From the song, “Don’t Hate the World” by The Worn Flints, written during Covid lockdowns.

Hope y’all enjoy it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fatdd1UA7mc&ra=m

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...still raining? Any Blue time this weekend?

We’ve had a little rain every night, and even snow yesterday.
My yard is covered with gold leaves, as is my deck, no matter how many times I sweep them off.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu, and thanks for the tunes. Do I detect a theme? 😉

Sun’s been out a bit today, but it’s chilly.
