The days, in the words of Mr. Bukowski, run away like wild horses over the hill. That was today. I blinked and then Memphis gave me that look that can only mean get off your butt and dole out the kibble. I suppose I should invoke Burns as well:
But little Mouse, you are not alone,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Go often awry,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!
In other words, I didn’t manage to get any of the things done I had planned to do on this day off work.
The least I can do today is offer up a Daily Dose. I feel like hearing some Hammond Organ this evening, so let’s listen to B3 master Jimmy Smith and his trio performing Organ Grinder’s Swing, and featuring some tasty guitar picking from Eddie McFadden.
Of course Jimmy wasn’t the only organist named Smith. Here’s Ethel Smith performing her big number, Tico Tico. It’s a goofy video but worth a listen.
