Hubert Laws - Undecided

The saga / struggle continues as Throwback Thursday thoughts have me "feeling some kind of way"; damn!! time is moving fast, checked the past episodes; damn!! did I miss that or this?

The saga / struggle continues as I go back to the future, self inflicted injuries had me getting sutures so let the healing process begin!!

Reflecting on past episodes while listening to some jazz; Sunday and Jazz go together as I like to say; memories of cruising down Broadway up in Louisville towards Shawnee Park was the play on a Sunday; that's what was happening!! 

Checking out this classic  track from Hubert Laws called Undecided; your dude is smiling, because up in the Buick Electra aka deuce and a quarter?  this is something we would ride to!

Tom Scott - Shadows

Chilling out in these venues!! actually? this past week was rough even though the Thanksgiving Day Holiday was celebrated; some might hate it as I go into "real deal mode" 

Everybody wasn't feeling those venues, based on what they've been through and are still going through!! this November and December are  the worst times of the year for some..

Everybody ain't able was mentioned by this dude, check the attitude!! now we might be considered rude when we put in work with the drum!!

Setting the table with this smooth track by Tom Scott called Shadows, as we hit you up with these and those!!
