Nice Jon! Lovely tight bass and the brass sounds remind me of 60's soul and yes, what we don't know is infinite......

Nice mellow flow Jon… Love the mix of guitar and brass - beautifully soulful 😎

Fools Jig 4-1-2025

Lyrics:
Didactic stories enslaved to plot
Characters are sock puppets
How did I get into this spot
Maybe you could 

Tell me how
I could move on now
That the dye 
Has been casted 
Against type

Where are you headed
Nowhere
A fantasy land in your head
Walter Mitty’s new disciples
Afraid to face
Reality
The world as it is
It just might be a place where nobody’s right

No conversations
Just uniformed declarations
Driven by mathematical equations
For pay
To sell shoes

Please have a heart
Ignorance would be a start
You could be mired in information
And not see
The forest 
From the trees

I miss the sound
Of the wind blowing the trees
The bubbling brook of ideas
Being crafted
By hand

Open your eyes and see the world
Stop thinking in circles baby
The universe is probably infinite
So is what you don’t know

Open your eyes and see the world
Stop thinking in circles baby
The universe is probably infinite
So is what you don’t know

Take me away so I can be free
Sweet melody won’t you take hold of me

Turn me around
And show me the door
I don’t hear that sound 
It’s hard to ignore

Years disappear
into the darkened skies
there’ll come a day
That we rise

Take me away so I can be free
Sweet fantasy won’t you take hold of me

I’m Taking the wheel
And closing the gate
Make me believe
Before it’s too late

All in a day
The senses just wanna feel
No more to say
it’s unreal…

Take me away so I can be free
Sweet melody won’t you take hold of me

Take Me Away

She Never Buys Me Nice Flowers

More than a little indisposed, yet not fully out of service, there's always some great music to sing and play.

"Sotto le stelle del Jazz" was written by Paolo Conte in 1983, and released on his third eponymous album.

Guitar by my son Gideon.

We hope you'll enjoy it, and I whisper "I love you" ;)

I will not try an English translation this time, cause the lyrics are full of allegories, and after all I'm not a poet :). Luckily there are some poets around on SC, and so very special thanks so to Michele Ansani (@michele-ansani check out his music) for providing both an English translation, and food for thought. You can find his translation below.

lyrics

Certi capivano il jazz
L'argenteria spariva
Ladri di stelle e di jazz
Così eravamo noi, così eravamo noi
Pochi capivano il jazz
Troppe cravatte sbagliate
Ragazzi scimmia del jazz
Così eravamo noi, così eravamo noi

Sotto le stelle del jazz
Ma quanta notte è passata
Marisa, svegliami, abbracciami
È stato un sogno fortissimo
Le donne odiavano il jazz
Non si capisce il motivo

Sotto le stelle del jazz
Un uomo scimmia cammina
O forse balla, chissà

Duemila enigmi nel jazz
Ah, non si capisce il motivo
Nel tempo fatto di attimi
E settimane enigmistiche

Sotto la luna del jazz
And now here me jazz
I whisper, "I love you"
I whisper, "I love you"

English

Some could understand jazz,
while the silverware disappeared
thieves of stars and of jazz,
that’s what we were, that’s what we were.

Few could understand jazz,
too many wrong ties around,
monkey boys of jazz
that’s what we were, that’s what we were.

Under the stars of jazz
how many nights have gone by,
Marisa wake me, hold me close,
it was such a powerful dream.
Women used to hate jazz,
“the tune is hard to find”

Under the stars of jazz
a monkey-man is walking
or maybe he’s dancing, who knows.
Two thousand riddles in jazz,
“the tune is hard to find”
In time made of fleeting moments
and crossword-puzzle weeks.

Under the moon of jazz
and now listen to me, jazz,
I whisper: “I love you,”
I whisper: “I love you.”

Sotto le stelle del Jazz (Paolo Conte - Giddy and Rob Jam)

This tune sounds a bit like the Rickets Hornpipe I posted earlier I think.
