Here we are

"Mr. Paganini, don't you be a meany..." We just watched part of a public TV fundraising special which was a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald. Missed k d lang, but got to see Stevie Wonder perform a tune he wrote which Ella made her own, "Too Close for Comfort." And Nancy Wilson singing "Someone to Watch Over Me", as well as someone named Ledisi doing quite a hot version of "Blues in the Night": "When I was in knee pants, my momma done told me..." and "A man is a two-face, a worrisome thing, who'll leave you to sing, the blues, in the night." Quincy Jones hosted, and the orchestra pit group was from the USC music school. (ooh, sorry, kathyr) Lots of talent on stage.

Sweet ending to a kind of colorless day, although we soldiered through it bravely.
