Today I'm submitting next year's budget for the library. It's a depressing situation, as these times have hit our institution just as hard as most places.
However, I'm also listening to Clifford Brown play "Stardust". Oh my goodness -- his horn is so beautiful that it's hard to keep my mind on being depressed. We can only wish he had lived longer and left us a larger body of work. But I know that whenever I need cheering up I can listen to "Joy Spring", one of my all-time favorite recordings and just a fun song!
Thanks, God, for giving us Clifford for a while at least.
