  1. Ahhh. Sweet.

  2. Tis where Mr Costello, no small Jazz fan himself, got the name for his album.

  3. Yes, I see that. And I call myself a fan! Did you listen to Lillian Nordica's 1908 recording?

  4. I'd never heard that recording before. Interesting.

  5. It's interesting, though, that he'd name an album after a Jazz/pop standard and then not include a recording of it on the album.

  6. He's very interesting. I next get to see him on April 24. Can't wait.

    He's a music fan extraordinaire. I prefer his country side to his jazz side, but his song Almost Ideal Eyes off My Flame Burns Blue, is one of my favorites, and I'm one of those who gets headaches from jazz. Play me some mountain music.
