He shall have music ...

Impeccable timing: just when I can ill-afford such luxuries, my fattest order with BMG rolls in:

• Best of Carly Simon
• Best of Ray Charles
• Very Best of JJ Cale
• Ken Burns' Lester Young
• Elton John's Yellow Brick Road
• Cream of Eric Clapton
• Best buy of the lot, Milt Jackson and John Coltrane in bags and trane

The trick in getting one's $$'s worth is to play the hell out of them: in the bath, making meals, reading, exercising by.

By the by, I have gone right off seeing Clapton in concert now: the JJ Cale album brings resoundingly home how much EC ripped off Cale with pale, inadequate covers. I should have gone to Italy after all.
