It's not a sunny day. It's kind of cloudy, in fact. But I've been listening to Sonny Rollins all morning and felt like sharing it with you. (The pictures are from a Life magazine spread about "Bebop craze bopsters Robert Clary, Ronny Graham and Virginia DeLuce." Don't know what that's all about. I found it searching "1950s jazz.") But enjoy the tunes.

Jazz For Thursday Solitaire

Okay, here's what you do. You Windows users press Play on one of these tunes, open Spider Solitaire, and play a two- or four-suit game to the jazz. When you've run out of jazz, just start over again. When you win a game, start another. You Macintosh users, click Play and do whatever quiet thing it is that you do to waste time. Enjoy!
