Today Darrell Grant spoke in Jazz class.
He teaches the stuff at PSU and is great.
Jazz is still alive and livin', as he and other great musicians have shown us youngsters.

Check check check this out!
5 years before I was brought into this world, Herbie Hancock was gettin' down at the Grammy's.
And it is so so so cool.

Reflections







In the winter time.
I was in love at the ocean.
I fell in love with the ocean
and the waves crashing down
on the tide moving in
towards the lovers and their children
playing fetch with their dogs
or drawing pictures in the sand.
To feel love in the rain
in the peak of the winter
is what I felt at the ocean.
I was in love at the ocean
in the winter time.

The Very Thought Of You

The very thought of you

I forget to do


Those little ordinary things


That everyone ought to do


I'm livin' in a kind of day dream


I'm happy as a queen

And foolish though it may seem

To me that's everything


The mere idea of you


The longing here for you


You'll never know


How slow the moments go


Till I'm near to you


I see your face in every flower

Your eyes in stars above

It's just the thought of you,


The very thought of you, my love

-Ray Noble
