Memories of You -- Peanuts Hucko 1976
This morning I went for a walk along the wintery and windy shores of Lake Okanagan in the interior of British Columbia, Canada., where I now live.
I had my iPod with me, sat down on a bench overlooking the beatiful lake, very peaceful and listening to a concert where clarinetist Peanuts Hucko was feaured as a special guest with the fabulous Alex Welsh Band from Britain.
This is just audio, but I thought it to be nice to share with you on Dailymotion and Youtube. The music together with me filming the nice and quiet views of the lake.
You can find me at boberwig at Dailymotion and at ilbofilms or erwigfilms at youtube.
You're a luchy one. I am the only one in my family who played much music. I can't get any of my children to play anything other than video games. I can say that they are good at killing but am sorry they will never appreciate the intimate pleasure of hearing the woody tone of a clarinet played by a master and the practiced random variations of each performer. I can only say sublime - the ultimate in listening pleasure.

Hi, from England.
Lucky you to have such a talented uncle.
I met him, only once, when he was over in England as the star of a Glenn Miller commemmoration concert being held at the same location as the original in 1944.
Absolutely great.
I also heard him play at a Cambridge jazz club during this visit, and he kindly autographed an old LP that I had of the 1944 Uptown Hall Gang (Glen Miller's jazz quintet, with Mel Powell on piano and your uncle on clarinet)....... also great

Do listen to Peanuts Hucko playing with Shoji Suzuki in Japan, especially "Suzukake no Michi" (Platanus Road). Peanuts is just great! Memories of You just brings back a lot of memories of the great bands Peanuts played with. A legend.
