Bruce Hornsby & Sonny Emory: “King of the Hill”

A beautiful jam with Sonny Emory. I worked with Sonny a bunch of times in the ever-rotating Al Jarreau band line-up and always had a great time.

In 2014 Pat Metheny asked me to do a tour with him, opening with a solo piano set and then sitting in with his great “Group.” I asked him what types of venues we were playing, expressing a concern about the fragility of solo piano in outdoor, semi-large spaces. I told him I’d consider it if he was good with Sonny Emory and me playing duo sets, and he was instantly in. Here’s a charged-up version of “King Of The Hill” from that three-week run, captured at the beautiful Chautauqua Auditorium near Buffalo, NY. Faster!

Thanks to Mike Caplan for filming.

hi

The occupational therapist really tortured my hand today. Holy Mackinac it hurts. Rum O’clock hit early today.

In secular news, the Freedom from Religion Foundation has voluntarily withdrawn its lawsuit against the state of Alabama. That state has a unique voter registration requirement requiring swearing a voter oath “so help me God.”

FFRF represented both Christians and atheists who last October stated they could not swear such an oath, and as such were denied the right to register to vote.

Alabama has agreed to withdraw that requirement, and is already implementing changes to forms allowing a voter to “opt-out” of the last four words.

In South Carolina, Trump lovers have ousted the entire GOP leadership of the Greenville County GOP. That puts in charge people who don’t know crap about politics in charge of that county, and sidelined people who have been in local politics for decades.

MAGA A-Holes Purge Almost- Normal Establishment A-Holes From South Carolina GOP Leadership (Wonkette)

The GOP former leadership expects the state convention to wind up with a whole chock full of crazy, since the new county leadership there can send their own conspiracy-laden delegates.

The new person in charge of the county GOP said that Donald Trump told them to purge the RINOs, so they gathered up a whole bunch of people the party stalwarts had never seen before and overwhelmed the county convention.

re: #1 Belafon

Last week I believe an Arizona state rep was making that argument.

It’s amazing how fast the wingnut party has picked up that drumbeat (along with libertarians like Kevin “hang women who had abortions and distribute the rest as property” Williamson).

“Research.”

He admits the affair (that thread is NSFW by the way), and has withdrawn his bid to run for the US Senate.

Perhaps that makes an opening for Roy Moore.

Whose basic argument in his article Why Not Fewer Voters? is “I shall throw out assertions, and dismiss every argument contrary with a ‘because I said so’ “

Williamson is a stupid person and a worse writer. I mean really, really bad writer.

Anti-choice politicians have introduced an onslaught of legislation intended to outlaw abortion in your state. Please take a few moments to oppose these extremist bills and tell Rhode Island lawmakers to stop their attacks on reproductive rights.

(descriptions and bill numbers of the anti-women bills all based in religion and not medicine)

Urge Rhode Island lawmakers to squash dangerous anti-abortion bills (Freedom from Religion Foundation)

The Rhode Island House Judiciary Committee will review the bills on Friday. FFRF urges people in the state to contact legislators on that committee to quash the bills.

First Moderna at a stadium today. Folks seemed to be solemnly filing in and out, very little chatter (maybe it’s the 6’ + a mask…). It seemed like election day. We were voting for science. I cast my next ballot on Cinco de Mayo.
