Jazz and Blues saxophone player, Herman Green passed away at the age of 90 in Memphis on November 26, 2020. As I read up on him, I found his life to be amazing. I have attached his obituary below. It looks like he played with anybody that was anybody. A true musician’s musician. The YouTube link takes you to a track list, and I have also attached a video. It is over 10 minutes, and is quite interesting. Enjoy the work of this great player.

A cold drive this morning, honked at every green car I saw. Kind of spooking them a bit I believe. Question, why do people drive 70 in an 80 zone? Can never figure that out. On to today’s songbook.
A bit of country today, although it is getting hard to call country, country these days. More like bluesy rock nowadays. At any rate, we have The Lone Bellow playing “Take My Love” from their 2015 album, “Then Came the Morning”.

What a difference a day makes in Calgary, plus 18 (65 above for my American friends) on one day, snow and minus 2 (28) the next, Those crazy rocks to the west toy with us. Surprisingly, the drive was sedate, only broken up by the lack of visibility with all the moisture flying around.
Today’s tune is by Sarah MacDougall and is entitled “Sparrowhead”, Nice relaxing tune to lose the stress of a crap drive to work, on a Monday, in the snow.
