What can I say?... I am on vacation...
Bill Evans.
I just finished a little solo performance over a coffee of one of my favourite tunes.
The title of the song is 'My Foolish Heart'.
I love this song....the melody haunts me.
I have no idea of the origin of this little piece of music and I don't care to.
I am not even 100% sure of the lyrics.
Anyway...I came downstairs and logged into YOUTUBE and did a search for the title and the first thing that came up was an early Bill Evans version.
This song was a favourite of his as well and this is a relatively subdued interpretation but it really tugs at my heartstrings.
I don't expect most of the people that visit this BLOG to even like this performance or this musician but Bill Evans was a Genius in the true sense of the word....and this word has been misused to the point where it has become meaningless.
All you really need to know about Bill Evans is that he was a shining light...as close to god as anyone has come.
A gift to anyone who can appreciate freedom and strength.
People like this are special and so is the music that they play. To me it represents the pinnacle of humanity and the fact that it still exists at a time when the world has become so lost in the dogged pursuit of everything meretricious brings with it even more value.One of the few diamonds that emerged during these cultural dark ages.
Bill Evans is one of the very few people that have existed that make me proud to be human.
Even if you don't dig Bill Evans....I know this music isn't for everybody....please take a moment and consider that you might be missing something....and then if you still think you need to criticize then by all means quickly find a woodchipper and jump into it.
....and take Randy,Paula and Simon with you.
I love that you can find these cool little performances on YOUTUBE.
...thats why I have it in my favourites,...right next to the porn.

Man I hope Bill Evans is dead. and if he's not i hope it's a torturous death when it happens.

LOL!!!!!!!!
I was waiting for busters comments!
Funny shit!
Me thinks you and Buster are in love.
Now get back to your OT you petrochemical whore.
Stop apologizing for things that are wonderful. It takes a long time for the uncultured mind to acquire a taste for Jazz, if ever. It's effort that everyone expends for him or herself, to listen, to take the time to educate the ear and to discern true music. Don't say you're sorry. Rather, extend your pity to these poor souls, who have not the subtlety to grasp these beautiful things and who are doomed to live their lives in the dark cave of their ignorance. Philistines!
teehee hahaha!
p.-
Well said fishing freak.
Speaking of pity...I took it on the chin pretty good today with the wild resi's.
