I was at the endodontist recently. The practice I went to offered movies to watch (huge selection via a streaming service!) on a monitor over the chair. The other interesting thing was a computer aided 3-D imaging system that made the procedure seem like a cool video game run by a robot. The downside to all that, however, is the endodontist is out-of-network for me, ugh.
Got a tip for us?

Some of you may recall Gerry Rafferty, who wrote a timeless classic, the song "Baker Street", in the very late 1970s.
Baker Street was regarded (rightly) as an instant classic, and received much airtime on radio, and as a frequently requested song on shows that invited requests from listeners.
So, for now, I am listening to two tracks from Gerry Rafferty - the (rightly) famous (and wonderful) Baker Street, and the somewhat less well known, but equally enjoyed, (by me), Right Down The Line.

Two of my favorite songs. First time I heard Baker Street, I was in the kitchen flipping pizzas at a part time job in my senior year of high school. Thankfully we had a radio tuned to WAAL 99.1 the local Rock station always playing.
Started transcribing this arrangement on piano today. Somehow, so far I've managed to get ALL the super subtle harmonic "slippages" (I stole that word from my professor—he may have coined it in this context cause I've never heard anyone else use it. Refers to subtle shifts in inner harmony.)
Some of my favorite Soft Rock and Pop from back in the day...There are soooo many, it's hard to pick what to share.

I brought my airpods with me and asked if it would bother them. they said, "No.".
I also had a cavity filled so mine took about 3 hours. But they numbed me up so much it wasn't too painful.
I also had a choice of watching "netflix" ... The music calmed me.
The only two songs I know by him and I also really like them.
Good luck with your root canal treatment, and also, good luck with your recovery from this root canal treatment.
And Bach - even in a dentist's chair - simply rocks; there is nowhere that I cannot listen to, appreciate and enjoy the music of Bach.
Something a little different this morning. Don't know what to call it. Modern Retro Swing maybe? I like it.
This discussion of Jerry Rafferty reminded me of this:
Great band! Was listening to one of my classic rock playlists last night with my 22 y.o. son while preparing dinner, and 3 APP songs played. Games People Play, Time, and Eye in the Sky...off this album.Nice album from the 80s.

They played Time during our high school graduation ceremony.
Picked up the Collected double album two months ago on an impulse. I was looking for a couple other albums and came across it and put it in my cart. Hadn't listened to his music in years. Nice pressing on 180 gram vinyl, sounds great.
Found this list of 50 Greatest Audiophile Recordings. I have 30 of them but now have 20 new albums to listen to via streaming on Tidal.
And right now I'm listening to Santana's new one, think someone here mentioned it:
Really enjoy most of it; take a pass on the first track, featuring a not-very-good rapper.

ETA: BBVD fans need to check out the movie Swingers. I lived in the part of LA the film is set in and the scene truly was like that. All the locations and bands were the real thing.

Thank you for sharing those! I do enjoy the big band swing era but I also like the more recent retro entries.😎
