something new for you to play with. or with for you to play. no, that’s not right. let’s start again.
provided for your amusement, something new. well, that might be grammatically correct, but it still sounds terribly stuffy. regardless, i have added a new feature, component, gadget, thingy to grabbingsand. look over to your right, somewhere between the desktops and the wishlists. grabbingsand hearnow (name subject to change at a whim) will be a spot for me to put a weekly (if i remember) mp3 of some kind or another. genres be damned, it could be new or old, pop or obscure, but hopefully entertaining either way. this week’s hearnow is an track that i found completely by accident last year, somewhere in the middle of a rat pack fascination probably spurred by movies i had seen. sammy davis, jr. my generation knows him as the guy that sang “the candyman can” and who showed up occasionally on “all in the family” and “the jeffersons” — remember when weezy left sammy out on the patio in the rain? (insert laugh track here) but the man could swing like nobody’s business, coming into songs like this one with a smoothness that telegraphs nothing of the absolute crack-of-the-bat vocal homeruns to come.
but enough of my yappin’ — go listen for yourself.
