With so much doom, gloom, and bad news lately (both in the world and on the forum), I thought it might be a good time to bring a little levity to the situation. As far as I know, Capt. Russ is probably the only one here who is a fan of this artist (or even knows who he is), but he's always been a favorite jazz singer/songwriter of mine. Very underrated IMO, given his body of work. While looking for something else on YT, I ran across this old favorite of mine; makes me laugh every time I hear it. Also, if you're a parent, listen to HIS version of Dat dere, the Bobby Timmons tune that he put lyrics to.
