‘m listening to a very old LP of mine (yes, LP as in: “good old immortal vinyl”): Extrapolation, by John McLaughlin.
What a wonderful music and what a performers:
John McLaughlin – guitar
Brian Odgers – bass
Tony Oxley – drums
John Surman – baritone and soprano saxophones
This was recorded before McLaughlin formed the Mahavishnu Orchestra; we’re talking begin 1969.
It’s a joy to hear that the music is still fresh and perfectly enjoyable after almost 50 years!
Kudos to McLaughlin for being such a wonderful composer and performer (he still is).
Enjoy this little pearl from a wonderful record on YouTube…
‘m a rather liberal user of the F… word, in contrast to the use of blasphemy.
I’m inclined to consider myself an agnostic, so why would I curse something I can’t prove or disprove to exist (and if it exists why would it/he/she bother to interact with us…)?
On the other hand, I believe in human interactions, and being the F… word the perfect example of the most intimate human interaction, I feel its use can be accepted or at least tolerated when used with parsimony and a bit of class.
efore January 1st, 1983, there was no Internet.
Difficult to imagine, for people born in the Digital Era, but I’m one of those old goats who still remember that the mere word Internet was not on any vocabulary, encyclopedia or anything, even after we had gone through our late teens.
long silence, awaiting the spring… I may turn deaf and mute, as the spring is not yet here. Not here, not now… Just long rainy days getting longer and longer.
Hymn to the worst spring in Central Europe of the last 17 years.
Her official web-site (she’s a registered Hypnotherapist) had become too static for her career development and she was seeking a way to increase the interchange of ideas, “tips & tricks” and so on with her patients/clients.
That was when I suggested her to use a more dynamic website type, annex blog.
any of you might know already that the Christmas Tree-decorating humanity can be divided into two major factions: the “Star on Top” and the “Angel on Top”.
There is a small minority still clinging on to the idea of putting a “Pointy Thingy on Top” but the mere idea is so ridiculous that this faction is destined to disappear very soon.
I am a fervent supporter (in more than one aspect) of the “Angel on Top” solution.
And you will become one yourself, after you’ve read the true story with which it all started…
ell, here we go, for the first time, blogging about cuisine, cooking and eating (which is the only logical consequence of cooking, isn’t it?).
I’m not a great chef.
…Well, I’m not even a real chef.
Period.
Nevertheless, I enjoy cooking and most of all I like trying new food, anything that I’ve not yet eaten, other countries’ traditional dishes… you name it.
My cooking motto is “keep it simple”, which is not a philosophical statement, but it’s literally “keep it simple” as in: “Keep it simple, before you mess it up completely”
… Capisce? (say that in heavy Brooklyn-ese accent).
