The good 1950’s and first blooms



It's April 22, snowing and my orchid has opened its first bloom

Young Chuck Berry playin “Sweet Sixteen” in the good part of the 50’s.  It’s eve at “Jazz on a Summer's Day”, the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival directed by Bert Stern (same Bert Stern who photographed Marylin Monroe..  A guy is smoking a cigarette while playing Bach on his Cello.  I’ve seen Thelonious Monk and Anita O'Day.  There’s a flat topped Gerry Mulligan, blowin West Coast Cool.  I know him as a bearded baritone sax player.  And Big Maybelle is singing “all night long” and I’m thinking, that IS a big woman to be doin it all night long!  Haven‘t got to Satchmo yet.  I’m kvelling almost as much as if I was watching the 50’s/ 60’s Yankees when they were young and so was I.  It’s 4-22-13 snowing in Denver and my orchid has opened it’s first bloom!
As always, comments on the blog are appreciated.
