Tom Lord's Jazz Discography

Don let me know that Tom Lord has a link to The American Rag Online on his site and requested that we reciprocate, which I will do next time I update our web site. In the meantime, I took a look to see what Tom has done. Here's the lead-in on his site:

"Everything you need to know about virtually any jazz record ever released.

The Jazz Discography gives you accurate, detailed information on over 100 years of recorded jazz in all genres."

".. a treasure trove full of surprises that will fascinate any student of American music eager to know the most recorded songs, the most recorded musicians, and the nature of jazz itself" - The Wall Street Journal

Take a look for yourself -- Tom Lord - The Jazz Discography.

On The Home Front

It was pretty quiet around here today. I finished the binding on the new lavender bag and listed it in my Etsy store.  I also posted a note, with a photo, on Plurk, and was told by a friend that she had made a bag just like it -- from instructions on the Better Homes and Gardens web site.  Well, it was fun while it lasted!

After promising myself that I wouldn't buy any new yarn for a month or two, I read Sheri's Loopy Ewe blog last night and joined the 6-week challenge to knit a tank/short sleeve sweater before July 1. Earlier I had admired a "Featherweight Cardigan" that someone had just finished, and decided to make it for the challenge. It looks just like it's name -- featherweight --  is knit with Malabrigo lace yarn, and is waist length with 3/4 length sleeves. Looks like it would be perfect for nights in Mammoth. And how could I resist a 20% discount on anything Malabrigo?

Here's a picture of the Featherweight Cardigan from Hannah Fettig's pattern.
