with JOHNNY FLYNN
Grandmagonewild [GRANDAD TOO!These two photos appear to have been taken during the same outing in the 1930s. The clothes, the rocks, and several familiar faces all match. Mama, my grandfather, and Uncle Johnnie are among the group.They clearly understood the assignment. In one photo, everyone is arranged across the rocks in a dramatic pose. In the other, they are crowded together, smiling, laughing, and enjoying themselves. They made the rocks their stage and gave the camera two completely different scenes.I love seeing my family this way.🎵 Music Note: Slim Gaillard and Slam Stewart were the jazz duo known as Slim & Slam, celebrated for their humor, rhythm, and playful performances. They recorded “Flat Foot Floogie” in 1938, and its lively energy fits this family outing perfectly.

Speaking of a message on a Sunday!
Alan Dearling adds:
“This is a rather lovely and quirky round-up, a sample of John’s worldwide music. I particularly loved the ethereal, floaty, gentle and lilting composition, ‘Flow like Water’ with Beana on vocals… And, ‘Valle del Reay’ is an extremely atmospheric, Spanish flamenco-styled piece, with a nice plaintive female vocal edge, plus exquisite guitar playing from Vernon Bigsby… ‘Faded’ explores Alan Walker’s melody, which is often a crowd favourite with John’s audiences. Nice piano opening, well-paced. Romantic and sympathetic – a lovely, cleverly balanced recording with Lindsay’s vocals kept at just the right level in the mix.”

Perhaps from my top greatest album of all time ( frequently) I loved Arthur Lee's writing and the arrangements seem to have been collaborative but heck this does exactly what it says and sets the scene
YOU SET THE SCENE - LOVE
1967
Love at their most breathtaking
Seven minutes of pure psychedelic beauty, carried by Arthur Lee’s poetic vision and one of the most gorgeous arrangements of the era.
Someone posted a clip of this on Flackenahook so here ’tis!
Found this clip of Cory Henry just playin’ around on a Hammond -XK5 I guess at a trade fair . . . note the master Dr Lonnie Smith in the background . . . . .
