Merle Travis was a local here . The thumbpicking style is this counties claim to fame . Next county over - Ohio county - gets to claim bluegrass as theirs . So , the local civic music hall is the " Merle Travis Music Center . A friend of mine says that Merle came to her house every Sunday to eat chicken and dumplings . This is her brother Steve Rector playing Merle Travis style :
Ornette Coleman "Dancing in your Head" mine is on vinyl...I tried to find it on line to link here but realized I don't know how. Well, anyway, if you play it open the windows and share with the neighbors Might be that kind of day.....

....then "east broadway rundown" Sonny Rollins....vinyl on Impulse, that label put out a lot of great stuff. I've probably posted this before...I listen to a lot of that era of jazz...when it was stretching...

I know how!
I haven't been exposed to much jazz - and haven't liked most of what I have heard. I may just have an immature pallet. This is kinda groovy funky though - I'm still making my mind up about it - but the volume is up (windows closed for the moment)
thanks for finding it...whatever I did didn't work, I found a concert video of Ornette...really tiny and 'tinny' on this computer, though. Might want to 'cleanse your pallet' before giving sonny rollins a go...Once I start digging through our records I don't stop for awhile...I won't post them all.
thanks for something new, I"ll try it with some headphones...I have to figure out how to run stuff online through our speakers...must be a way.
