Best version of Jingle Bell’s I’ve heard in a while… must see

This is the best version of Jingle Bells; see video below, I seen/heard in a long time.   I suspect it has something to do with the trumpeter being considered the best in the world for the last two decades, the legendary Wynton Marsalis.  And that adorable girl, who is the daughter of the Wynton, and one of the best sopranos Kathleen Battle.  This kid has talent in her DNA.

This morning my phone had several messages from my dinner companion last night.  She is hoping to see me again before she leaves on Thursday.  I’m so excited to see her again.  This time, I don’t want to reminisce about high school or get into a verbal brawl with mind-bent university students.  If it happens, maybe I’ll take her to my favourite french bistro.  It’s as close to Nice as one can get where I live.

Cleaning up and organizing 17 TB of files is a daunting task.  I eliminated a lot of older records but just erasing specific extensions that I no longer have the means to open.  I’ve wiped years of diary entries.  There is something to be said for paper and pen, even in 2017.

I may start printing my entries and putting them in a secure storage device.  It will also allow me to make entries that I don’t want to create digitally.

It’s been a beautiful quiet day.  Nothing exciting happened. Oh, my Kinect connector came.  It’s okay.  I miss the old Kinect Sports games.  The new one seems to lack something.  However,  the tennis is rather fun.  Bowling seems to be more difficult than ever.  Rock climbing was interesting.  I think I’d like it if I played more.

Just me here tonight; like most nights, but I’m rebuilding mChristmasms music libray, so it’s a fun night.  My server has it’s own music management system, and it’s not bad, but iTunes is more accessible for organizing and managing.  The way the files are stored is slightly different, and I can’t seem to import playlists or ratings for songs.

Since I have started listening to music again, I’m feeling so much better.  Life is okay.

That was absolutely beautiful! Music definitely hits you in the right places.

Cleaning 7 TB’s of files taunting! You think? LOL! I have a hard time cleaning out my photos on my mac.

Well I hope this next date has less excitement then the last.

I love that guy, he’s my musical hero. His daughter is so cute and such an amazing singer! You could see how much fun she was having.
