"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Happy Feet Friday
George Shearing performs what is probably his best known song -"Lullaby of Birdland"- with Peggy Lee on vocals.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I did not know he was Sir George Shearing (just came across that datum while reading the Wiki bio).
Although I always associated him with a unique, but definitely "cool jazz", style, I was delighted to find out a while back that he was no slouch as an adept of the boogie-woogie mode.
And Peggy Lee. What can I say? One of my very favorite singers.
Two of my favourites together, both at the peak of their art, love it. Some left hand boogie woogie for you too Paco.
