Hey, C.S. Know what I am listening to?
satt and panz, thank you so much; I played this beautiful but sad song on the radio thread. The site is particularly enchanting. Ah, the lovely art of the Japanese.
now I got it in my head...the version with Cannonbal Adderly and John coltrane
You talking about Limehouse Blues, panz?
You're beginning to sound like a yuppie.
Furber
Music: Phillip Braham
An instrumental played by Jerry Garcia with the Great American String Band. "Limehouse Blues" is a jazz standard, though it was originally written with lyrics:
And those weird China blues
Never go away
Sad, mad blues
For all the while they seem to say
Oh, Limehouse kid
Oh, oh, Limehouse kid
Goin' the way
That the rest of them did
Poor broken blossom
And nobody's child
Haunting and taunting
You're just kind of wild
Oh, Limehouse blues
I've the real Limehouse blues
Can't seem to shake off
Those real China blues
Rings on your fingers
And tears for your crown
That is the story
Of old Chinatown
Rings on your fingers
And tears for your crown
That is the story
Of old Chinatown
I recently learned ain't misbehavin', the old standard done by fats waller and many others including louis armstrong.

and for new music just coming out, there is a new black keys album that's awesome.
@CarbonSystem,
Now I know who you are. Great to have you back, C.S. You must drop by the radio thread. You would be a welcome addition. Love Fats and Ain't Misbehavin, buddy

You've already seen the lyrics.
Well I don't have too much to listen to here at work, but you all can feel free to listen to my band.
I've been trying to thumb my way through this whole making a webpage business, so bear with it. Following some links from the menu will have the music for you eventually.
