    Great suggestion Marye. I just listened to One O'Clock Jump and was transported. The entire recording from Carnegie Hall in 1938 with its impressive supporting cast looks tempting. What an amazing time capsule from an era that I only glimpsed hazily a la parent's and grandparent's record players in the 50's. In the meantime I'm queuing up the soundtrack from Ken Burn's "War" with jazz, big band, swing, etc. from the WWII era. It's from early 60's, but maybe some Preservation Hall Jazz Band is next. . . Oh yeah. It may be a reach, but there's a Grateful Dead connection here too: Ken Burn's "War" is followed in my iTunes list by "The Warlocks: 10/8/89". I told you it was a reach.

    Marye, now you're talking....love your musical suggestions.....btw, have you heard the final Springsteen Clarence show from November 2009? Played on Miami Steve's birthday....it was special in many ways...Initially billed as the final E St show, and unfortunately foreshadowing proved correct, as it was the last time Clarence would perform with anyone, his health was failing, but the mugging he and Bruce did onstage especially during Growin Up is etched in my brain .....35 songs and over 4 hours of magic, played the Greetings from Asbury Park recording in its entirety....half of the show was dedicated to suggestions from the crowd.....if interested, pm me your email and I can send it your way in digital format....It's an audience recording from the floor but well worth a listen and the smile that the listen will bring.....

    there actually is a Grateful Dead connection
    to that Benny Goodman track. Back when I was en route to Red Rocks 1987, I bought a bunch of cassettes at a truck stop in, as I recall, Rock Springs, Wyoming, including a Benny Goodman anthology. It was a mixed bag of generally horribly re-re-rerecorded material from some foreign bootlegger, as I recall, but this one track, with NO PROVENANCE WHATEVER, was just stunning, even if it did sound like it was recorded in a bathtub. It took me decades to find the actual source, which was a good deal better recorded.

'o nuts? OK, now I really do have to go find some chocolate. Tough road -- there is danger in learning to appreciate fine chocolate, sorta like good wine. Impossible to go back to the plebian, when you get used to good stuff.

The dark stuff (w/out nuts) is my fancy, but it's not the most patrician chocolate. Good for the heart, though. OK, I gotta get back to work before I end up separated from my gainful employment. Peace out, Daydreamers!

Last night and I brought home some peanut butter and birthday cake Oreos. O-r-e-o. Yum. Especially the birthday cake flavor me thinks. Did you know those cookies are vegan?! You don't have to feel so bad for those folks. Good morning! Have a great day!! Okay goodnight.

Mad Swan, I broke my phone yesterday as well. The screen at least. Oh, well, such is life when you forget that picking up that piece of litter means that gravity will induce a separation between phone and pocket. One man gathers what another man spills. Errrrg, sounds like you and Reese's Oreo need to get a room! You know this space is getting hot. I never knew tastebuds had such vast capabilities.... Have a grate day everyone!

...my bet is Lord Stanley's chalice will grace at least one of the shows. Watching it show up all over town was one of the fun-nest parts of the Hawks win. Hey, does anyone remember the year of the giant inflatable purple dinosaur? What about the "unbroken paper chain" that got passed from one side of the Horizon to the other?

Cookies are in my top 5 desert island foods. I thought it would be fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies (maybe oatmeal chocolate chip - hold the raisins please), but I might include ALL cookies so that ALL Oreo flavors and maybe some Pepperidge Farm might be included. Kristine - YES. Any kind of peanut-butter related Oreo sounds like breakfast. My tutu (grandmother in Hawaii) and I had been known from time to time to enjoy a nice moist piece of chocolate cake for breakfast there in paradise. All - there exist both peanut butter AND Reeses peanut butter Oreos. The Reese ones are among the limited edition, such as are the Red Velvet Cake ones... peanut butter > Reese peanut butter ones. Birthday cake flavor > peanut butter. Red Velvet = birthday cake (maybe birthday cake slightly better than Red Velvet). Klang I will have to try the half and halfsies. I have not tried the mint or the (lemon?) yellow ones yet. Anyone? Okay. I have some strange strains of OCD, but you still love me. xo Stellz

Y'all have done it to me now. I couldn't just get the coffee from Starbucks this afternoon. No, I felt strangely compelled to see if there were any CHOCOLATE COOKIE treats. Found one--they call it "flourless" but it tasted just fine to me. They looked at me funny when I tried to order a Reese's Oreo cookie, though.

Oh you crazy money-focused Deadheads you. Personally, I wouldn't have thought it. At least they're not bankers. Not that I have an opinion on that.
