Black Coffee starts the title of one of my fave tunes as well as the title of this blog. A few weeks back we dined at our son's and coffee followed via his espresso machine. Well Shelly decided she wanted one and dutiful daughter helped her mom place the order. The device arrived ahead of the weekend and our son, Jonathan and daughter-in-law Car …

Could've wrote about about an anniversary yesterday but one might say it got "rained out" for real. But I alway expected this week would cover another musical event. Marisa and her dad - this commentator - took in the Eagles' The Long Goodbye Tour at UBS last Wednesday eve. The Eagles were "supported" by Steely Dan which I never saw in any of i …
