NYC, Nov 1957

"The enlivening power of money" (Bertolt Brecht)... Neat, romantically wry title and an artful tune, beautifully played by all three

Hey Winston pal @winstonthewoofer.bsky.social - a friend sent me this image of Airedales playing Cricket - thought it might give you & Himself a laugh. I think our games might be slow going - imagine how long it’d take to get the ball back from the fielders. 🤣😆🤭

Ironies of the heritage ("Lore"). 😍 for vital music (joyful energy). But satirising candy-stripe role of old entertainers (stagger, eccentricity)

"Fancy a weekend in Newcastle?"
"Yeah, great!"
"Travel, accommodation, food and drink should cost us about £500."
"OK, but what about the tourism tax?"
"Puts it up to £505."
"No chance we're paying that!"

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

This #TerrierTuesday here I am on my seaweed strewn beach.

Seaweed can get a bit whiffy in the sun, but I don't notice the smell in winter.

#3: Nice Work If You Can Get It (G & I Gershwin)

Thelonious Monk
London, 15 Nov1971

Monk loved standards, & played (on/with) this one several times. NB: intended disc(h)ords, & esp. his ending: matching the irony of the song, & final punchline!
