Here’s another typical Kurt Elling response. About 2 years ago my wife and I drove 2.5 hours on a Friday evening from our home in San Diego to Orange County ( all of about 60 miles…) to see Mr. Elling at a small venue. After getting settled with several quick strong cocktails ( I was jonesing by then), we then listened to 82 minutes of what I would call a transcendental moment. Mr. Elling and the band were so good, that I literally ” yelled” at them when they quit playing because we were desperate for more. I explained to the bouncer ( who had thrown me out by then) that I had waited all my life for an experience like that, and soon I was apologizing to Kurt and band in the green room after the show. He told me “this happens all the time” and that I shouldn’t worry about it”. How cool is that !

I hate to brag, but Sharolyn experienced the quickest 2 hours of her life at the concert and when she got home, I showed her the quickest 2 1/2 minutes of life.

One of the greatest things in life is that you can still discover a Kurt Elling, no matter how much time has gone by. I just discovered him on Michael Feldman’s Whad’ya Know? radio show last year. See my review of his CD, Flirting with Twilight, http://forellefilosofy.blogspot.com/2007/03/timing-nuance-great-ear.html

Hell, yes, Sharolyn. The more I read of you the more I’m convinced that we would be excellent whine-buddies. We could probably even amp it up to getting along in other ways, too. It’s wild.

Thanks, Karen!

Cerise, I would love to co-whine. Then I wouldn’t feel so whiny. I do feel I am emerging out of a funk. Maybe that’s why I enjoyed this concert so much. You can show me Jazz Alley, and I’ll buy you a drink!

Yikes. That sounds…familiar. Perhaps we should start our own dual, temporary whine-blog that gets us through the end of March, hey?

Not that you’re whining. I’m whining. I’d let you co-whine if you felt like it.

Thank you, Corey.

Have you ever felt like every single aspect of your life is requiring something of you? That’s why the cocoon.

Beautifully written, Sharolyn. The Divine Mr. E was at Jazz Alley last month here in Seattle and we didn’t get to it. We SUCK.

Hey, why are you wanting to do the cocoon thing? Is it because it’s March and everybody wants to (even you damned Californians with your palm trees and cheerful…sunshine)?
