Actually, every day is a great JLP day, of course. But today mine started while I was driving around on errands. I had the CD "No Absolute Time" playing, and was delightfully mesmerized by "Savannah". The rhythmns absolutely established a groove, the violin work was jazzy, the piano was terrific, and the chordal activity towards the end was wonderful.

Then I stopped in a music shop and got to test-drive a Korg PS60 synthesizer. It's probably not top-of-the-line for a real musician, but I had a great time with it, playing riffs and chords from "Cosmic Messenger" and "Don't Let The World Pass You By". I think this keyboard-or one like it-is in my future ;-)

That's why I'm hoping and praying for an Atlantic Years tour in the US this year.
