When the birds of Tompkins Square Park sound like whales



EVG regular Grant Shaffer picked up on the birds communicating with one another today... and slowed it down...

  2. If you listen real close, you can hear the never-ending BandShell crowd noise during opening acts. They would NEVER shut-up....and now we know they NEVER WILL!




    PS = Tonight Jazz@LincolnCenter are having a celebration of Billy Strayhorn's 100th Birthday at 7:30. It can be streamed here :

    Billy was Duke Ellington's left hand (and maybe right hand also)....wrote "Take The A-Train" almost overnight when he was 23 years old....and JALC spares no effort for these gigs, so check out some of NYC's finest.....you'll be giving thanks.

  3. Thanks, Grant, this was quite a treat. Appreciate your efforts.

    DrBOP, WNYC had a very nice segment on Billy Strayhorn this morning:
