Drop Me Off in Harlem
A Record Review
Nancy
Watching Clinton joyfully grooving to the Harlem Boy's Choir and grinning among a sea of sax players in today's Washington Post got me thinking about an album I own called Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington - The Great Summit/The Master Takes. This album was originally issued as "Together for the First Time" and "The Great Reunion of". The remix on this 2000 recording is excellent. All the lovely songs were written by Duke Ellington (with different collaborators), and infected with joy by both Sachmo's trumpet, voice and the Duke's incomparable piano and band. The chorus to the song that doesn't leave my head goes: Drop me off in Harlem, Yeah, good ole' Harlem You have your fun under the Harlem sun So drop me off in Harlem . . . The song goes on to list all the wonderful musicians and clubs in Harlem and even mentions some of the foods (red beans and rice - a New Orleans favorite that Bill would enjoy!) This should be the Big Dog's Theme song now. But it is not the only highlight or most beautiful track on the album. My personal favorite is "Azalea". If you want to share in some of the musical joy of Harlem's best, you will buy this record and you can groove like the Big Dog too! ~~Nancy~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Week In Review
WEEKLY REVIEW The United States decided not to sign a new anti-germ-warfare treaty, bringing to at least five the number of international agreements the U.S. has rejected in recent years, including the Kyoto Protocol, the Landmine Convention, the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. President George W. Bush and Russian president Vladimir Putin agreed to work toward a disarmament framework that would reduce nuclear weapons while allowing the U.S. its missile-defense scheme; a few days before their discussion, Putin remarked that Bush was "a fairly good-hearted person, nice to talk to, I would even say . . . even a little bit sentimental." Secretary of State Colin Powell played a cowboy in love for a skit marking the end of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations conference; his Vietnamese paramour was portrayed by Japanese Foreign Minister Makiko Tanaka. Former Indonesian president Abdurrahman Wahid finally ended his occupation of the presidential palace nearly a week after his impeachment. In his last press interview before flying to the U.S. Wahid predicted dark times ahead for Indonesia but ended with a joke about the difference between American and Japanese farmers. Scientists reported that the human brain responds differently to faces of different races; African Americans were found to recognize all races rather easily, but whites generally had a hard time recognizing any but white faces. The Serbian government confirmed that three blindfolded bodies found in a mass grave were those of Albanian-American brothers sentenced to fifteen days' imprisonment for entering Yugoslavia without visas. The playwright Harold Pinter joined the International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic, saying the former Yugoslav leader’s detention at The Hague is illegal. Seventeen Brazilians broke out of prison using a cardboard gun. A watermelon rigged with a bomb inside was left on an Israeli bus; the fruit was detonated safely...... continued at Harper's Week In Review~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More Musings From The ShadowCatcher
Let Freedom Ring
The ShadowCatcher
You know yesterday when I was at the VA hospital, I thought that I was dressed
real 'cool' in my black Russian boots, while wearing a pair of those Mickey
Mouse ears atop my head, but in walked a Vietnam Vet, wearing a pair of them
'combat-boots', and a green beret atop his head, his long grey hair hung down
in a braid & there woven in it was a bunch of colorful feathers, and he had on
a bright red T shirt, with bold black letters that read~~~"Go to Hell".~~
Now that sure 'up-staged' me, I guess that all of us nuts are not in a cage.
God! I sure hope he was taking his Meds. ha!
Another thing, watching the news on TV can be a real downer, unless ya have a
great sense of humor, they finally freed old Willie, that killer whale, but he
swam right back, it seems that he thinks he's human, just like a Republican.
I guess that says very little about the genes or instinct and a great deal about
'conditioning'. Now besides breaking Treaties, 'Witch Hunting' and 'Red Baiting'
which is the Conservative way, they say that they are saving us all from
'Damnation', leaving us in the hands of the 'Moral Majority', Jesus! what a
dreadful thought. ha!
Now I try to be moral, but they keep raising the bar, what's a guy gonna do? I'm
not a 'Born Again Christian', but I've seen the light. When I was younger, I told
my 'old lady', " hey! babe, its my way or the highway", next thing I knew, I was
out there hitching a ride, now I'm getting too old to hit the road again, so what
my wife says is now the law. And that old dog-house is full of fleas, but please
don't mess with me brew, nor me Jazz. Just let me slide a little babe, I ain't got
much more time to do, and I have little to lose, and I'm too old to start singing
the blues.
What say! we have a party? ha!
Regards

" Troubled "West Wing" honcho Aaron Sorkin, nabbed on drug charges in April, says he was often high on crack when he wrote the 1995 movie "The American President." "I was smoking crack cocaine every day" while writing the movie, Sorkin tells TV Guide in an interview appearing in the magazine's upcoming issue. Sorkin says that while living at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles, he would write a few pages of the movie a day, while he was sober - then put the Do Not Disturb sign on his door and get high on crack. "That is why it took me three years to write the script," he says..... " To read the rest of the sordid tale, Aaron Sorkin.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
