A long dead era, huh! Maybe to you mate, but then I guess there's no accounting for taste!
Big Bands still exist - SUPPORT THEM!
Anyway
Maynard was a great man, a musical genius and an inspiration to all musicians.
Much love Maynard
God rest your soul..........

Daily Horoscope for January 6

Sagittarius

There's work to be done. Even though it might seem overwhelming, there's a lot to be gained from doing Level One, or routine physical tasks. When your body is preoccupied and very little mental input is required, your mind is free to roam. Do one thing at a time, and you're assured of complete success in all your projects and undertakings today. Your health is not as good as it could be, at the moment. Consider a cleansing diet.
