Hey, Mrs. Billybob:

Conversations do wander all over the place in here, which is what I hoped for. I can't say they digress, because they don't "gress" to
begin with. I wonder what happens when conversations always gress. Sounds boring. I've encouraged Ernest to drop by after exchanging several PMs with him. He lives in Berlin and would certainly bring some fresh thoughts to the table. He loves jazz and old-time music among other things, but didn't feel he had anything to add on doo wop. But, we keep movin' on in here, so any topic is up for grabs.
Jazz happens to be one of my major, major loves... both traditional, New Orleans style jazz and that quaint, old-fashioned jazz of the 50's like Gerry Mulligan, Dave Brubeck, Shorty Rogers that used to be called "Modern" jazz... or West Coast Jazz.

I've always found Sacred Harp music interesting to listen to for short periods of time, but have never tried to sing it. Maybe I'll have to try it on for size one of these festivals...

And, there'll be some more conversation on Doo Wop, and harmony in general as the days go by...

Or we could talk about how much fun it is to play Go.
