    1. That’s the picture I wanted to take, but didn’t. Pretty!

      Sugar coatings are pretty. I almost got one on Thursday evening at the grocery story where is was all over the Christmas trees for sale. Never got the shot sadly.

  • 10 on Tuesday

    The first 10 up, a random shuffle from my phone.

    This was fun, partly because some of these songs I haven't heard in a while and partly because I've never tried to Shuffle everything on my phone.  I shuffle albums, not songs. Here goes.. a fairly eclectic blend, I'd say.

    Since Pink Martini got two spots on the random list, I'm including a video of another one of my favorites.

     

    1. Doncha Go Away Mad     Jazz Passengers & Deborah Harry & Elvis Costello
    2. Clomentine    Pink Martini
    3. Everything Must Change     Beth Hart
    4. Qualified      Michael Grimm
    5. Una Notte A Napoli     Pink Martini
    6. Gimme Some Lovin"    Traffic
    7. Aguas De Marco     Antonio Carlos Jobim
    8. I Could Get Used To This     Diane Shuur
    9. Triste     Stanley Turrentine
    10. Jumpin Jack Flash     Rolling Stones
