My father is a sound designer.
He makes art with sound. They met through mutual friends.
They played around with some stuff and my dad did some of his recordings.
I met him briefly after a concert appearance here in Antwerp. Still to this day the most bone chilling concert I've seen.

I grew up listening to Toots and Miles Davis.

It's hard to lose the artists you grew up with, especially. I started playing sax in 5th grade, elementary school. By highschool I was fortunate enough to be playing with some incredible musicians, some of whom play professionally now. We got to play as guest band at jazz festivals, NAJE (Nat'l Assoc. of Jazz Educators) conferences and our own Seattle Opera house annual collegiate jazz festival with college bands and pro guest artists like Bill Watrous, Frank Rosolino, and Lew Tabackin/Toshiko Akiyoshi. We got to play with Al Cohn and Zoot Sims in Wichita. Man, could those cats blow (and drink)!!!

The little alto sax player I was nuts about in high school went on to N Texas State and A Swedish Piano player named Per Danielsson snapped her up. Tamara and Per play all the time in Orlando and around and about, and play summer gigs in Sweden and Europe. I have some of their CD's as well as one they played on with Jack Wilkins, a great tenor sax man from Sweden (Dear Old Stockholm).

We all had the same private woodwinds instructor, Johnnie Jessen from Seattle. His most well known student was Kenny Gorelick, better known as Kenny G.

So... a bit long in the mouth, but wanted to say how sad I am to hear of the passing of Toots.

I finally have a hat. Two hats, in fact. This is the second hat, not often worn. (It doesn't fit. I'm a 7 3/8) I was wearing the main hat to work, and a co-worker said that she had a lot of unused hats in the antic and wanted to know if I was interested. I was, and she gave this to me. Even with its faults, it is a better hat than I should have.

It is a sad, sad day.

An amazing unique Belgian musician has sadly passed away.
I had the pleasure of meeting this man once, my father worked with him from time to time.
Sweet, kind and so very funny.

You will be missed, Toots!

Saw him in concert when he was about 89. He was still a great musician and obviously enjoyed being out there. RIP Toots.

It's cooled down enough to put me in the mood for an English blend so I reached for some of Bowswell's Northwoods, in an old square shanked Savinelli 512KS pot. The Sav is a favorite for English blend tobaccos.

I am also a fan of Northwoods and Savinelli's... Boswell makes some tasty blends

Today is "work in the yard day" and I'm wearing my old, very well used, fedora. I got this hat 10 or more years ago from Miller Hats. It has served me well as a "working hat" for many years now.

ya shouldha been in "The Long hot Summer" with Paul Newman and Orson Wells...

Resistol today.

Spectacular brim on a spectacular lid...

 

[bowlerman]

most of yesterday: Tumwater silverbelly. I took some time to reblock, flange, and re-crease this one. While I enjoyed the uniqueness of the immense crown height and almost galleon-like flange, I'm finding I like wearing it more in the new slightly lower and wider diamond.

Winds are high today, might need to don something more snug/ wind-resistant.

Today I wore my old standby VS hat Art made me close to 10 years ago. The hat was made as a copy of a hat my grandfather had in 1928. I always get compliments when wearing this hat, and it has served me well over the years.

Add one more compliment to your list, then...
