I Adore You

"May this be love," comes to mind now, the Jimi Hendrix recording from I believe it was the, "Axis/Bold as Love" album.  I heard the ending of this great recording by chance on radio  yesterday.  There is something exceptionally wonderful that is revealed about Hendrix in this recording and, I will venture to say it is the extent of his capacity to love the somehow comes through very beautifully and very strongly.

How can the capacity of someone to love come through in a recording?  A fair enough question that may or may not come to mind, the answer of which I cannot be certain of except to say, when God and genius are involved all things are possible creatively. 

Hendrix lives, yes, he does.

Sort a Kind a Like You

Bird lives!  And wasn't it great to hear Charlie Parker's music broadcast by the one and only, the greatest Jazz scholar of all time, Phil Schaap, tonight on the radio from Columbia University.  Sad to know that today is the day of Bird's death but the music, especially with Jay McShan, hearing it was a blast from the past.  A trip I so happily took.  Thank you, Phil!
