Things are a little crazy for Alexandra and I right now. We're in the midst of a move, the semester is ending, and both of my jobs have a lot going down. Don't really have time to post anything. Not that I have much to say these days.
In time, however, I do plan on posting more regularly.
In time, perhaps I will have more to say.
In time, we will be moved into our new cottage.
In time, the semester will be over.
In time . . . Well, I'll let Sly and the Family Stone spell it all out. From the great and groovy 1973 funk classic, Fresh.

Dat's a funky jam. I have Fresh on original LP. That's Rusty Allen on the bass, there. You know, they say Bootsy Collins, who came out of James Brown's band, was the last word on playing the funky bass, but I'd put Rusty and Sly Stone himself right up there. If You Want Me to Stay comes to mind in particular. I still have vivid memories of Middle School, with a bunch of us guys trying to outdo each other with imitations of Sly on that cut - "I'd get this message over to you now..." Thanks for bringing all that back.
Good luck with the move and the challenges ahead!
Thanks, Jeff. Great memory of listening to Fresh. Somehow, I missed Sly & the Family Stone when I was youinger, besides knowing their big hits. I've really enjoyed listening to them lately.
Of course Rusty and Sly were only playing bass on that album because Sly was so coked up at the time that he drove out Larry Graham, whose reputation now is right up there with Bootsy, and who did a lot to develop the sound of 70s soul and funk. But, yeah, they did nail on it that album. It's got a wonderful groove.
Good luck with the move. I never think of there being cottages in New York.
Glad to here of your diggs and I leave with the infamous words of George Carlin "why is other peoples stuff shit and your shit is stuff".
