I doubt family and friends of Lana Clarkson, or most people opposed to murder would agree. No offense intended; I get what you mean.

I have no problem with justice at all. But I will agree that it's sadder what happened to Lana than Phil. He was where he belonged. But it's still a shame. How people can do the things they do I'll never understand.

I heard about her passing this morning on NPR. She had recently done an interview talking about how English music icons got knighthoods, but here they get moved to the oldie station.

The 23-time Grammy winner Chick Corea died of a rare form of cancer, according to a Facebook post shared by his team. He was part of Miles Davis' band and later formed his own group.

I saw him a couple of times in the 80's, once in Detroit with Stanley Clarke and in RI with George Benson.

He's been in the musical background my whole life. But it's been just recently that I have started listening to jazz for real. He was one of the greats.

Way back when, when I had a sweet audio set-up, McIntosh and such, I listened to a lot of jazz on vinyl, Davis, Mingus, Coltrane. Not so much any more.

My local NPR station usually decided what I listen to on the road, at the riverhouse or at one of my camps. It was blues for years and years, then when an all time great DJ retired, then died, they switched to jazz. I listen to YouTube or SXM at home, so a wide variety there.

I gave all my albums away 10-15 years ago. Still have the wife's collection, but. . . . . we don't have the same taste in music.

I have 1.5K CD's and nearly that many live shows on DVD, but rarely play any of them. When I get caught up, I need to transfer Dead shows from DVD's to digital files so I can take them with me on my mp3 and in my car.

That's unfortunate, but not necessarily a deal breaker.

Unless she's big on Stevie and Bruce.
When I forget and leave the jazz turned up loud in my car, and she is riding, she ask, "can we turn that down?" lol No jazz, not much rock and roll, some R&B but mostly easy listening. (keep in mind this lady watches Hallmark Christmas movies in the summertime)

The records themselves, I haven't looked at since I moved them to this house 16 years ago, but. . . . . . As I recall there was a copy of Born in the USA, but also a few CS&N, Rolling Stones and Dire Straits, that sort of stuff that I could maybe listen to. Lots more Journey and stuff that I wouldn't listen too. All this was bought pre-me, and I've been around 30 odd years, so no new stuff.
