Today’s limerick.

Kennedy addressed the Congress croaking
Lies that made the Dems ask, “Are you joking?”
Blurring fact and fiction
Full of contradiction,
What in hell is Crazy Bobby smoking?

Art Blakey was known for saying “Jazz washes away the dust of everyday life.”

Well, today was pretty dusty, my friends…

I came in, and put on the Herbie album you see here.

Within 2 minutes, I was feeling mighty clean!

Maybe “Bu” was onto something…

That he was. And you’re right about the dearth of GG live sets on video. I can count on one hand the number that I’ve seen.
