Happy-ness & Happiness

Christopher Gardner: [about the spelling mistakes in the graffiti of a building] It's not H-A-P-P-Y-N-E-S-S Happiness is spelled with an "I" instead of a "Y"

Christopher: Oh, okay. Is "Fuck" spelled right?

Christopher Gardner: Um, yes. "Fuck" is spelled right but you shouldn't use that word.

Christopher: Why? What's it mean?

Christopher Gardner: It's, um, an adult word used to express anger and, uh, other things. But it's an adult word. It's spelled right, but don't use it.

- pursuit of happiness

Listening to Oscar peterson Album - Humoresque, used to love this song and tried.... Transcribing until I met my limit. ( now, the track turned to 'blue moon')


...
Why am I listening to Jazz? B'cuz it's free... I feel free listening to O.P's performance esp.
Well, frankly... I was never into Jazz in my life. The first jazz song I heard was when I was in Sri Lanka - I found it from my father's collection and he said,

"You may get confused listening to Jazz, don't try to analyse it but just listen & accept it how it is..."

even when he told me, I did not get what he told me until I enrolled to music college where I was asked to play and learn Jazz. Never expected to learn JAZZ in my life and.... the first impression I got from people when I mentioned I learn to play Jazz is, "WOW!"....
Yes, they wow-ed at me. Trust me, I ain't a Jazzer at all but sometimes I miss learning and listening to Jazz. Yeah... Yes, today's the time when I am in the Jazzzz mood. Plus, I feel relieved and free,ha.

(track name : Summer time)
Guitar sounds very thin,here, but it flows well with piano comping and tone.
Interesting!

Less than two hours tom end 3rd of July. - time flies?? Time shreds,man!
Ha.....

That's all.
Cheers
Tada
