For those who keep track: it’s September 1, 2013; I am back in New York, dreaming of California (which translates to the Nymph of Novato). Since I can’t be there for breakfast with her, some locally sourced music is the next best thing.
The Golden Gate Rhythm Machine, established in 1984, sounds anything but mechanistic in these four performances from the 2013 Cline Wine and Dixieland Jazz Festival in Sonoma, California. They are Scott Anthony, banjo, vocal; Bob Schulz, cornet, vocal; Jim Maihack, trombone; Clint Baker, clarinet; Robert Young, bass saxophone; Bob Hirsch, piano; Bill Maginnis, drums. Three good old good ones — evoking Bennie Moten, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis and the Dodds brothers, and a Frank Loesser classic from the mid-Forties.

Hello, Nephew!!!
I am so glad that you have music to take up a bit of the space that your beloved holds in your life. I’m right there with you. My beloved is gone, and I thank God for the music. I loved this post..I was able to listen to three of the songs, but there was and error on “Melancholy,” (one of my favorite tunes), and I was unable to listen to it. I’ll try it again later…Maybe it will play. Take care, dear Nephew. Much love, Auntie
