January 27 ~ This Little Bird
Canada's Allison Crowe, on piano and vocals, lays
down another song track with Dave Baird on bass and Laurent Boucher on
percussion. ("This Little Bird", on the album of the same
name, a song that playfully celebrates freedom, makes me think of
other such innocent fun as The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night".)
While she puts together her next album, I'm riffing through a batch of
photos of Allison just stumbled upon, and picking up other cultural
footnotes.
Conan OBrien, American comedian and late-night television host, now a
free bird, gave a moving farewell in signing off 'The Tonight
Show'. After thanking his fans for coming together to make a sad
situation joyous and inspirational, 'Coco' addressed his audience,
directing these words particularly to young people watching:
"All I ask is one thing... Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism.
For the record, it's my least favorite quality. It doesn't lead
anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were
going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing
things will happen. I'm telling you, amazing things will happen.
I'm telling you. It's just true."
This calls for more... cowbell.
