Weather Report

Tonight, I did not have the 6 p.m. missing Thacker Mountain Radio blues like most Thursdays. I had a ticket to the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra season opening concert at Caird Hall. The two and a half hours of the late 70s jazz band Weather Report arrangements glided by like the last long sip of a chocolate frosty. The former WR drummer Peter Erskine came to play with the orchestra. I get more enjoyment out of watching a balding, silver bearded 65 year old jammer than almost anything. I still balk at getting old, but now I'm just trying to figure out how to be a debonair grandfather. On a related note, I sat by a nice old lady with a young blonde lab seeing eye dog. God bless seeing eye dog trainers.
