Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our Monday night jazz show, here are Gerry Mulligan, Bob Brookmeyer, Wyatt Ruther, and Gus Johnson performing Open Country (5:23). Brookmeyer’s performance is a delightful addition to tonight’s show; we haven’t seen enough of the valve trombone lately (not that we’ve seen enough of the Cimbasso either, yet perhaps we should save that for another show).
Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.

“Why then is the administration making what appears to be a blunder? It may be that it is hoping for the best.”
Arrrghhhh …-

ET – like a well crafted televangelist show I suspect Henrietta’s encounter with the Messiah was a staged miracle. Too bad she wasn’t wheelchair bound and he could have cured her too. But, we are early in his ministry, er, administration. I saw it and it reminded me of channel surfing years ago and hitting Jimmy Swaggert in his prime.
Look for Oprah to do a follow-up special and the crew at HGTV to do a decorating segment followed by Martha Stewart planning an open house.
