Status Quo - Caroline on the local Rock n Roll Sunday. Amazing how they can make three chords sound so good!

I love that song too and chuckle because Francis Rossi appeared in my local rag a few years ago in an article about the rejuvenation of a library(?) My former boss's uncle was also in an early line up of the band, but left, citing 'artistic differences' - I speculated whether it was because he'd discovered a fourth chord, but she didn't laugh.

I think Lenny could've been a really good Jazz or Blues singer.

They're trying !
I like it!!
A piece in today's paper reminded me of the fascination Dory Previn, one time wife of conductor Andre. She had many demons which she wrote about including being forced to use her right hand by nuns - Left Hand Lost.
One famous song was "Beware of Young Girls" about regretting introducing Mia Farrow to her husband.

Interesting stuff. I think the satisfaction in moving the main hand is more important than whatever that hand and the arm and shoulder on the top of it is being moved to do. That may sound counter-intuitive
but just try writing with your other hand. You will find that you'll lose interest in writing within an hour.
Doves - Black and White Town
God damn I love Doves.

Yes - I like that track too.
Jorge Ben - Umbabarauma

"Umbabarauma" is slang for "dribbling the ball past all opponents to reach the goal". It's a celebration of an Afro-Brazilian footballer player from the favela -a superhero, as Rocky was to boxing in the US.
One of those shivers down the spine songs. Not my usual type of music but I love the way her voice soars all over the place.

The only thing with that Anita Baker track is it is reckoned by some afficiandos to represent the start of the modern way of singing. The drama. The melisma. Whitney, Carey, I guess Mary J Blige, and all the rest for ever and ever amen or so it seems. This was discussed on 5 Live's Virtual Jukebox during Dotun Adebayo's Through The Night. That is worth a listen on Suns in the early hours even if it isn't as good as the World Football Phone which is on Sats in the early hours at the same place. On the plus side, I don't buy that argument fully. I feel that is where it is or was - ie what? Mid period 1980s. It is at least as old school as it's new school, having a proper musicality and distinctly jazz like notes.
