'LES JAZZ'.. MUSIC TO COOK BY..

OK folks.. it is Tale telling time.. yes, I'm a'goin to spill de bean on how SHE rustles YumYum together.. 

SHE has extremely diverse taste in music.. SHE lurves all sorts of music.. I guess YOU would if YOU had worked in Discotheques but SHE won't even bother to listen to some stuff..

One song SHE jurst lurves is called 'Now you have Jazz'.. it is a Cole Porter song from film called 'High Society' circa 1955, it starred, amongst others, Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong.

The song is sung by Bing and Louis and is how Jazz is made.. SHE sings it when chopping Beets, Peppers or Onions.. try and see.. 

SHE finds it on YouTube and plays it for ME sometimes.. I bounce about and make suitably appropriate noises.. BIG TREAT!

I lurve music that has beat YOU can boogie to.. Gloria and I used to boogie to her Latin American Music whilst she ironed.. with music turned up very loud.. thank goodness it was in middle of day so neighbours could not complain but they surely must have wondered what on earth was going on.. music and shrieks of laughter with very loud whistles.. yes, I stick MY wing up and freely admit, WE were mad as hatters.. 

Sigh.. We have not heard or seen Gloria for longest time now.. she went back to Columbia because her mama was very ill, mama died and Gloria stayed to take care of her younger brothers and sisters.. we miss her very much. 

Think of happier things.. like ole chick-the-lick roasting in HER old covered pan.. With another tray of peppers roasting.. and lots of clean jars waiting to be filled, cooled and put away for winter..

SHE came home earlier because it is RAINING... yeah!  More please.. lots and lots of rain needed all over garden to make ground soft enough to dig..

But for now.. chicken is beginning to release lubbly-jubbly smell and MY concentration is wandering towards YumYum HQ.. more tomorrow.

GeeGee Parrot.
