My favorite things

May 12, 2011

Do you listen Radio?

I do a lot. Basically, I do not want any excessive noise around. I gave my wife to listen her favorite TV with earphone. Right, we are living rabbit burn. We used to live nice house in suburb. As we get older, it became pretty hard to go out for shopping. So we moved into a apartment house that has 25 floors.

That's right. It was 2 month ago we were hit by the heaviest earthquake in my life. The building did swing all right. We have a light hanging down from ceiling. It swung, men, it did swing and we surely got terrified.

We picked up pet cat, 16 years old by the way, and run down from 13th floor. It took much more time than we had expected. We got old. I was forced to realize that.

That was two months ago. Time flies. Well other than that, we live in peace and calm. Now I need some kind of sound every once in a while. I pick up earphone, not the headphone by the way. And listen to the Jazz.

I prefer vocal jazz sometime, piano jazz sometime, but never the jazz music of pre-1950es. And I was listening Tommy Flanagan. It's been a while. But his way of playing piano sounds so smooth. But if you wish to try his way, It's tough.

He sings. The way he sings cannot be imitated. It is completely different thing from so called swing. He sings. And I mean it. Check the video attached, you'll know what I mean.
