D ear Friends with Open Ears,
In 1956 Charlie Parker wrote a blues song called “Air Conditioning” and I loved that tune. That was way back then and coming up to the present, on the day I came up with a new convoluted blues melodic line I decided then and there to name it after a kitchen appliance that my wife Stef recently acquired. Now, over here at SpragueLand, both the soundtrack and the exotic dishes coming out of the convection oven have drastically improved life for the better. We owe it all to Charlie Parker’s Home Appliance Alliance.
Today it’s coming full circle and our new video of the song makes it’s way out to the seemingly endless vastness of YouTube proper.
This performance first appeared on our Episode 26 Live(ish) From SpragueLand livestream called Songs of Home.
Good times!
The band is:
Peter Sprague — guitar
Tripp Sprague — sax
Danny Green — piano
Justin Grinnell — bass
Duncan Moore — drums
Going live in real-time for this week we’ll be playing at the super cool downtown hang called Senses Human Bistro on Tuesday night. It’ll be me, Danny, and Justin navigating the wild world of jazz, samba, and The Beatles. Look below for details and it’ll be fun night of music.
That’s it and thanks for reading, best, Peter
