Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Hey, Joe, I don't know if I told you that I downloaded Sonny Rollins' G-Man, which is truly righteous. Thanks for the tip!

Art Crawl!!!

I read a review of Ray Davies song "Thanksgiving Day" in Rolling Stone last night -- has the song actually been released yet? Have you guys heard it?

I'm thinking it would be fun to have it around for holiday themed mixes.

Can anyone recommend their favorite sitar albums, especially Ravi Shankar? My nephew has recently acquired a sitar and is really getting into the music (he saw a local performer here in NJ a few weeks ago), but has no albums as yet. (He's a great musician--plays drums, guitar [bass, acoustic, and electric], mandolin, violin, piano, and now sitar, and he's only 15!)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I've started posting some jazz vocals on Buffistarawk for Fay, but you're all welcome to sample them. These aren't ooo bop scoodly wop scat songs, but jazzed up standards, or songs written by jazz singers and lyricists. They're all very cool and groovy - mostly 50s, though some 40s and early 60s too.

Look for Jazzy Fay posts in the inbox and you'll find my favorite version of "Skylark" and the deep groove of "See Line Woman" and the heplitude of "Jumpin' With Symphony Sid." All guaranteed to freshen your breath and set your soul right.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There's this, which is certainly good for a laugh, if nothing else.

I've got one of the tracks, which I could upload to buffistarawk, if someone were to give me the password.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

No problem! Thanks so much. I'm excited to get home and download them.

This book looks interesting: [link]

And supposedly, it gets the "Good Vibrations" story correct. i.e. It ain't a theremin.

This week's music obsession: Songs used in Sopranos episodes.

I have been Netflixing the Sopranos for the past few weeks and last night I started downloading my favorite songs from the show (so.many.) and thinking about a mix.

I MUST have the track that closes episode 7 from Season 3, Second Opinion, and the interbunny tells me it's a song called "Soleil" from a jazzy/prog-rock instrumentalist named Greg Wells.

Here is his site as far as I can tell: [link]

And I've looked EVERYWHERE for this song. They have all his albums on iTunes but not this song. Grrr.

I know it's a longshot - but - anybody? Any tips on how to find it?
