One of my favourite songs, by a favourite singer and band-leader. I did even spot the legendary late Rico Rodriguez (in the beret) playing Trombone in the background. Enjoy.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Very nice.... Jools is very good, New Year's Eve changed subtly for the better when he got the Midnight Hour ticket [plus his other shows are good]... my cuz Emily often plays cello in his band but not on this one.
ReplyDeleteI've seen him live, and I would recommend. A great night out!
DeleteA nice way to start Saturday. Thank you. We're going to see Jools Holland and his guests later this month at a small venue in London called The Albert Hall. Have you heard of it?
ReplyDeleteAlbert Hall was a good friend of mine.
DeleteMy nephew, Roland Rivron, used to play in his backing group - thought I saw him on this but only a fleeting shot so can't be sure.
ReplyDeleteIs that Roland Rivron the Comedian? Surely there can't be TWO.
DeleteIs that him on Maracas?
DeleteRelated via first husband.
DeleteAh!
DeleteI admire Jools Holland's doubtless talent, but he, as a physical being sets my teeth on edge, and I have no idea why! X
ReplyDeleteTo each his own; he's not my type either.
DeleteI met Jools Holland when I worked in the bookshop in Porthmeirion, and he was staying in one of the houses and doing some filming in the village, mid 90s. Had a great discussion about books and authors
ReplyDeleteNo discussions about music? He's very focused.
DeleteThat was great Sunday morning cafe music. Thanks
ReplyDeleteMusic to cheer the heart.
DeleteReplying to the above, I think it may have been an intensely musical few days...so to chat about books and authors could have been a relief!!
