Jazz and Ginger

I am simply "wired" for music.  It is as if I wake up once music is sounding (whether I'm listening or playing), especially if it's piano music.  Right now I'm listening to Dave Brubeck's album Time Out.  I love it.  To me, this is Perfect Jazz.  Classy, swingy, lots of threads juxtaposed or intertwined.  I sometimes think that if Bach had been born in the 20th century, he would be Brubeck!  Ha!  I'm so glad the world has both of them! How often do you love every track on an album.  I've never met a Brubeck composition/performance I didn't love.  But that's how I tend to be.  If I am entranced by a book, I'll likely love everything that author has written, and then I'll read everything that author has written!  If I'm enchanted by one painting, I'll tend to love all of that artist's work.  And so it goes. I've had respected mentors who have told me I am too much "all-or-nothing."  For a time, I believed

Muselet Make-over

Dear Reader, I decided to re-activate this blog, and I've added AdSense.  This is an experiment to see how AdSense works on a blogger.com blog.  I had to pick a blog that I've had running for 6 months or more, and one on which I post mostly original content.  I use so many of my other blogs on Blogger as storage for my favorite things, so this one seemed the best candidate for AdSense. I've also changed the "theme" for the Muselet.  I hope you like it!  I find it more attractive, easier to read, and has a flexible format so it works better on mobile devices; at least I think it does!  Let me know what you think! BTW, I hope to post somewhere between once-a-day to once-a-week.  Let me know how often you think is "just right"! Thanks for reading!  I hope to hear from you! ~ Muse
