Oh my god, if you only knew. I have wanted to see that one bit with the Dizzy Gillepsie parody for years. As a trumpet player, and someone who actually got to see Dizzy, I died watching that. GRrreat!
Paul Whitehouse on congas is too much.
They really have a formula.
Well thanks for sharing with me. I signed the 6034 petition. There's a lot of injustice in this world. I keep thinking how tragic life is. I recently lost my beloved cats. Both a bit too early. Even two years later, I find it hard to shake the sadness. Or the innocent on death row. All I know is the sentiment of the leadership of this country is in synch with the human condition. There's no doubt. I often think that much, if not all, of what happens here is for a reason. Sometimes it is obvious, often in retrospect. I have my own battles. I've taken on the world's biggest problems. Now I'm trying to just create my own world within it, and try to find some happiness. I wish you the best.
When I see things like the skits that Enfield creates, I feel that there is something that transcends our condition. I've been trying to learn what it is. Jon Stewart and his crew have discovered it as well. I believe it's a combination of education, language skills, memory, ability to abandon the ego. Hm, that's not trivial stuff. Haha.
Edit- I've been sucked into the quicksand of Youtube. Art Blakey, Les Brown, Modern Jazz Quartet, Stan Getz... I just had to share one of my favorites.
