Just like Benny Goodman did at Carnegie Hall in 1938, the clarinetist hit a high C on his Bb clarinet at 5:16

Not easy to do.

Still indulging in my wanderlust fantasies. I love the line "If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane." So true. It reminds me of the first few devastating years after the divorce. Sometimes the kids and I would end up being very silly together. It was that or cry. 

Back to wanderlust. . . This is another favorite song of mine.

I found this article on Jimmy Buffett's music quite interesting: https://theconversation.com/the-beautiful-pessimism-at-the-heart-of-jimmy-buffetts-music-213043

The theme of escapism is one thing that appeals to me tremendously about his music, now more so than ever in this (ugh) election year and amid skyrocketing rent, insurance, gas, and grocery prices. I wish I could live the story relayed in "The Weather Is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful":

I see Paul was at the tribute concert at the Hollywood Bowl a few days ago (beginning around 1:07):

My bootleg's picture and sound quality is excellent...











I've got a feeling I won't be buying Disney's re-release.

^^^^

Mine's a bootleg, too, with poor quality. It would be nice to not only see a non-bootleg version but also one that, according to Disney, has been restored by Peter Jackson.

I have an old bootleg but the sound and vision quality is poor. It’ll be nice to see a cleaned up version.

Interesting! I've never seen the original.l I have it on DVD but have been too lazy to drag out the DVD player and hook it up. 

I'll keep my fingers crossed that Disney does offer it soon.

It seems the very long awaited re-release of Let it Be will happen via Disney. I haven’t found an exact date but 8 May is being mentioned.

Cool. Will be interested to give it a listen.
