I haven't listened to music much lately, but today I was in the mood.
I listened to Eric Clapton's great collaborations with Wynton Marsalis and Dr. John.
I listened to some Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
I listed to the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and the New Orleans Jazz Vipers.
I caught Beth Hart's A Change Is Gonna Come, and then Melissa Ethridge's amazing Kenndy Center cover of the Boss on Born to Run.
Some Aretha and Etta James, too.
I even listened to some Blues Brothers and Commitments.
I spent several hours just enjoying some of my favorite records.
Next time, I may do a Sinatra marathon. I really enjoy those as well.
And maybe 50s Doo Wop after that.
As long as I don't abuse my ears with anything contemporary.
That puts me in a quiet mood for a long, long time.
