Comment:

My father died two weeks ago today, but I don't know that that's what impelled this mix. He didn't like jazz, at least not the same kind of jazz I like. Nonetheless, I've put together this long-playing program of live performances that, should I ever reach that mythical, imaginary realm, I hope to hear with my own ears. Yeah.  [album art full size]

Sincere sympathy on the loss of your father. Music and time both help. My dad left this world on my daughter's 6th birthday, 4 years ago next month. Peace be with you & yours.

Sorry to hear the news about your father's death. I'd say crank this up and point the speakers skyward. He's up there listening somewhere.

Condolences. I'm not much of a jazz fan but my dad is and he just came out of hospital last week. I think he might appreciate this. All the best.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. Your mix is fantastic (that version of Straight, No Chaser is the best I've heard yet) and also your blog entry is very touching. It can be very consuming and frustrating to have people trying to impose their religious beliefs on a time of mourning.
