One of my old friends from high school has resurfaced in time for the 20th reunion, and has turned into quite the pop musician. Some of his music is here; the best track, IMO, is The Burning Of The Trees; it's atypical of his output, and he needs to stretch his phrases across the bar, but it's lovely nonetheless.

I think it's pretty fucking exciting that one can order "the connotations" for U.S. $6.

That's "I Do Not Think I Would Have Some Fun," dude, as in

All these new friends want me to go with them
They want to take me to see their homeland
I do not know if I will go with them
I do not think I would have some fun.

My error. I wore out that Connotations tape within three years. I think it's time for a CD remaster.

I think I still have my copy of The Connotations (which I acquired used several years after its release) around somewhere.

Sam Bardfeld has a disk out that I just saw but didn't buy (because $16 is real money for me at the moment) at J&R's jazz section, the name of which I don't recall, plus he apparently plays on Bruce Springsteen's new Pete Seeger tribute album.

I hope Mike shows up next month; Sam, I've seen at previous reunions (he married another classmate, Jessica Gerson), but Mike I haven't seen these 20 years.

FYI, Sam's record is called Periodic Trespasses (The Saul Cycle).

I've tried several times, but I haven't been able to access Mike's website yet. Bummer.
