Gunhild Carling – Jazz on a bagpipe
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
WHOA !
What would Rabbie Burns have to say about this hot stuff ?
Oh my !
That is Gunhild Carling’s first NYC appearence with the band Swingadelic at the Central Park Bandshell in May of 2014 for the Frankie 100 concert. Frankie Manning was a famed Lindy Hopper. It was a pleasure to meet and perform with her and we’ve done so many times since then. Regards, Dave Post/Swingadelic
Horrible! Terrible! Horrible again!
Not my cup of tea but everyone is different. Whatever floats your boat . . .
Dave Post, thanks for your background on this performance (and for your bass line)! When I submitted this to Bob as a possible Evening Pause, I had no idea one of his readers was the band organizer. I mentioned to Bob that nobody dislikes bag pipes more than I, but after hearing Gunhild’s performance, I’ll have to rethink my antipathy to the instrument. Maybe it’s just Amazing Grace I dislike.
