I have a tendency to avoid cultural items with too good of a reputation. Iām afraid of being disappointed. A prime example of this is the newly re-assembled recording of Duke Ellingtonās concert at the Newport Jazz Festival.
I know all about Paul Gonsalvesā epic saxophone solo. I know about the woman who couldnāt help dancing and got the audience up on its feet. I know about the near riot that broke out when the organizers tried to end the concert twice. I know how this one event changed Ellingtonās status from a fading band leader to that of a living legend.
And knowing all that was enough. But I knew I would have to listen to it eventually.
On a recent trip I brought it with me. Itās two hours of amazing. The closest Iāll get to being there on that pleasant summer day that occurred 18 years before I was born.

This, to me, is similar, but not so much in career-raising, but just that it bloody happened.
I have the CD, but canāt find the full one free online, I highly recommend it. Iād like to think I was being conceived at the very moment it happened, even though I was in MI and they were in RI.

Rolling through the Appalachians along the Potomac listening to Dead Letter Office. Very appropriate.
Iāve never heard this curiosity before:
I would have posted this last night, but there is only sporadic cellular service past Harpers Ferry.

Really fun song
Here are the lyrics so you can sing along:
I woke up when somebodyās microwave went ding [ding]
All the way across town
I woke up when somebodyās cat started to sing [meew]
All the way across town
Iām sensitive these days to whispering walls
And any word starting with āAā
I leap up imagining telephone calls
Then I lie back repeating the words you donāt say
I woke up as soon as I thought you might be dressed [zzzip]
All the way across town
I swam through my day ā couldnāt wait to get some rest
Go home and pull the shades down
(Uhhhhhhhā¦)
I read giant meaning in minuscule things
I canāt tell the real from the wrong
And cereal boxes and cinema flings
And in really bad lyrics to radio songs [Baby, baby!]
Iāll make up my face if youāre heading this way
Iāll bake up the cake if youāre planning to stay
Weāll eat up our sins and then kneel down and pray
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahā¦
Insomniac is back on queue, the only tack that gets me through
Is to choke a few and a drink or two
I stand at the sink and I think and I think and I
Wrote a song about a long, long night
Conjuring you, itās really quite a nice thing to do
Aaahhā¦
So you stay on your side and Iāll stay on mine
Itās bad intersection if we intertwine
My days may be dull be my dreams are divine
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahā¦

I guess itās the right time of year for this, now.
This is ā¦ well, this is. Which is weird enough.
Perhaps as the reviewer said, āthe best fast food-themed Black Sabbath tribute band everā?
