smoked salmon is back on the menu boys... This time I went with chunks rather than one full slab. I like it so much better. it makes life so much easier and now they're bite size.

The Onion has been going off these days...

Tchaikovsky: Serenade for String Orchestra, Op. 48, TH 48 - Barber: Adagio for Strings, Op. 11 - Elgar: Introduction and Allegro, Op. 47 by Charles Munch (1957) https://album.link/rkzptq2wkrt63 Example: Lovely LS recording of the Boston with Munch. Including the iconic Adagio.

first brisket smoke. 14 hours @ 225°, Got up to temp faster than I though. The end bit is a little dry. But a center cut is really tasty. Room for improvement.. She'll eat ..

Getz Au Go Go by The New Stan Getz Quartet (1964) https://album.link/d9qhntpcj25fx Example: I said I needed more Astrud in my life, and I get Getz for free. Even better..

New Podcast started today. Yeah you can find it on your phone, but the YT fun is just too fun, even before Tina joins.

The Incredible Jazz Guitar Of Wes Montgomery by Wes Montgomery (1960) https://album.link/sn0dthrqvkqbb Example: I don't feel I listen to Wes enough.. and this was just a reminder...

a 'tree' in Paris....

Ha... my first thought was. 'Psh, right.., they are not even going to have Tandberg.' oh first one... okay I am listening.

^^ nice. I added this to my queue this morning - But I didn't know about the 100 years since birth thing.. I have not listened to it yet.

Contrasts by Blonde On Blonde (1969) https://album.link/t3pz40nzwbnvg Example: Bit of prog, bit of psychedelia, with some tasty late 60s jams... I like...

Sentimentally Yours by Patsy Cline (1962) https://album.link/f3skbf06kmfrd Example: Very good Patsy... very good indeed.

Snow Day - I don't have to do anything...

Wow, I kind of lost track of these guys in the early 2000s. Looks like they have been recording for the last decade..

Just under 5 hours for part one...

^^ this as well. A couple of new recordings I have been listening, but not posted. Ravel: The Complete Solo Piano Works by Seong-Jin Cho (2025) No other info - I cannot really recommend. I thought it was good, but I could not get into it. I didn't get pulled into it like I do with others. But.... Ravel: The Piano Concertos by Seong-Jin Cho (2025) https://album.link/vtjmcqgztdbbx Example: This on the other hand I can give a full recommendation on. Nelsons and the BSO with Cho on DG is a wonderful combo. My friend in LA saw Cho playing with the Los Angeles Philharmonic last month and he was very impressed, and it was a long show.

Only a single track so far.... https://open.qobuz.com/album/c3b4cxuxv0daa from Wild and Clear and Blue by I’m With Her (2025) Release May 9th - seem so far away.... {as the single plays on repeat for a while}

Hmmm - when I looked up G3 on QOBUZ - I got this... Not sure what I am going to get with this one...

The ChatGPT wine problem. I had not heard it before, more of a philosophy. {Also "AI does not exist, but it will ruin everything anyway" - Angela Collier}
