a birthday celebration...

today would have been my dearly departed mother's 76th birthday,so i started a simple tradition of playing some music from my outstanding music collection... this year,it will be Miles Davis,Anita O'Day,Muddy Waters,Lightning Hopkins,Charles Mingus,and John Lee Hooker,and as a change of pace,Parliament(the album:"Funked Up")... the Anita O'Day,and Miles Davis's albums are live recordings:O'Day's is of a concert in Tokyo,on December 30,1963,and Davis' concert is at the fabled Blackhawk nightclub,in San Francisco,in April,1961... O'Day's concert was televised,but was not released on an album,until 2007,and i have a copy of that concert,on CD...
