The stories I hear of Hurricane (or “Storm”) are both depressing and frightening — although there are always counter-truths of generosity and sacrifice.
I thought — for those of you with power — that it would be helpful to offer some beauty, something serene in praise of love (the domestic monogamous kind) to lift your spirits.
Here is Bob Barta (banjo / vocal) singing a song he wrote for his wife, Sherrie, called I’M IN HEAVEN. His colleagues at Bonnie Jean’s in Southhold are John Klumpp, trumpet, and John Lovett, tuba.
I recorded this on October 18, 2012, which seems a lifetime ago . . . but love is timeless, isn’t it?
I hope that this sweet music will take your minds away from downed trees and cold apartments . . . . wishing all JAZZ LIVES readers ease and serenity.
May your happiness increase.
Beautiful! Thanks for capturing this. Love the composition and the group sounds great!

You’re right, Michael! Love is timeless…This had to bring a thoughtful smile to all who could read, and listen to your post…It did mine. It’s wonderful. Thank you NM
