Here's a birthday guy, but first some info.:


Jacquet was born to a Sioux mother and a Creole father in Broussard, Louisiana and moved to Houston, Texas, as an infant, and was raised there as one of six siblings. His father, Gilbert Jacquet, was a part-time bandleader. As a child he performed in his father's band, primarily on the alto saxophone. His older brother Russell Jacquet played trumpet and his brother Linton played drums.

Now, the song.

Thanks again for your comment and personal acknowledgement.

Tom Waits - Press conference. Three and a half minutes of Controlled Lunacy. Worth it for those who stick it to the end.

Welcome back, Irish, and that great interview with Tom Waits reminded me of Time Waits.

Once again, calling all musicians, music lovers, painters, chatters and poets.

Today is John Keats' birthday and here is his final sonnet:


Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art! -
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night,
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature's patient sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors -
No -yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillowed upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever -or else swoon to death.

Posted this somewhere else, but it's a good sketch for Halloween

Oops, I missed edgar's great Jackie Wilson song. To Loved was wonderful, Texas.

Welcom back izz with a y. Marty Feldman pocking around in that wicker clothes basket was hilarious. Reminded me of this one, England.
