It is Sunday afternoon in the universe, the sun is shining,
and all is well. In the background Miles Davis and John Coltrane are
playing. The album is Live In Stockholm 1960. I bought it in a charity
shop a few years ago. Before that I was listening to Keith Jarrett, Mysteries/Shades.
It was a Spanish friend of mine who told me how great Keith Jarrett was and I
think the penny has finally dropped. I was in the mood for some cool jazz
instrumental music. One can listen to it without thinking about it, you don’t
have to concentrate on words. You can experience it creating your mood unconsciously.
When I was younger I didn’t listen to much jazz, but I find I am getting
jazzier as I get older. I might put on Terry Riley next for a bit of
January Sunday minimalism. I actually sold a couple of books this weekend. My signed Buster
Merryfield was snapped up and I sold a memoir by Cyndi Lauper, so I
have been pottering around, preparing them for the post office tomorrow. I’ll
replace them in my shop later on.
I think we are in for some stormy weather tomorrow. Storm
Brendan is heading our way apparently, so I don’t think I will be going far
this week. I’m off to the kitchen now. I’m going to make a vegetable stew that
will last me about three days hopefully. See you later.
