What's Spinning

So my dad died today. My wife's father, a doctor in NY, is in the ICU. She's with them in Ny and I'll do the things here for home schooling, my job, our kids. Fucking virus.

My dad loved jazz. He gave me a copy of Time Out when I turned 16. We didn't have a lot at that time, but he was good man that knew his son.

There is no mourning, because for the next 30 days or so, I just need to "dad" and help my wife be with her family (quarantine and all) and keep the kids sane and removed from quite this level of reality.

But I thank you all. For a virtual record shop, a bunch a people listening to the album's in the basements of their youth and still connected to all the art and music that might yet come and the joy of creation still. I can't play Time Out, but he might have liked this -- or maybe thought it was too modern :)

I'm thankful for you all. For each small kindness or sense of welcome you've shown to me or others please know it counts.

All the love and white lightView attachment 43023 to you and yours. EST, live in Gothenburg.

Just seeing this message now. What a time you are going through. Love to you and your wife for the struggles you are facing and respect for the dignified and well stated post.
 
Do you have Beethoven Was Deaf?

Only on CD. The Morrissey record I really want to get is the live at Earls Court one. I was at that concert in the front row and centre with my mate and I remember the atmosphere being completely feral. I came back from it with scratches on my back from people trying to get up to see him. It was a real teen idol atmosphere. A couple of concerts I have seen have made official release, the two Bowie concerts in Dublin became A Reality Tour, R.E.M. at the Olympia and I was at the Slane Castle U2 that became Go Home, but that Morrissey night was something else.
