I've been getting into some great music lately. Mostly classic jazz/blues from the 50s and 60s. Just a beginner.

Grant Green (guitar)
Kenny Burrell (guitar)
Miles
Coltrane
Chet Baker
Tiny Grimes/Coleman Hawkins

Since you're getting into jazz:

Watch on YouTube

Spaces is one of my favorite jazz records on the strength of those two tracks alone. They just resonate with me differently.

All-Star line-up like the 1973 Knicks. Larry Coryell and John McLaughlin are like Clyde and Earl the Pearl on the guitars. The cover art is bananas too. Enjoy

I saw Paco DeLucia, Al DiMeola, and John McLachlan when they toured off their first album. I heard Coryell recommended to me before. He's definitely a very respected guitarist. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Are you familiar with John Scofield. He's another one I got into lately mostly from these two songs which sucked me in right away.

King of Thailand ‘isolates’ from coronavirus with 20 women
By Lee Brown March 30, 2020 | 10:03am | Updated

Thailand’s playboy king has taken over a luxury German hotel to isolate from the coronavirus — along with a harem of 20 women, according to reports.

King Maha Vajiralongkorn, 67, reportedly booked the entire Grand Hotel Sonnenbichl with “special permission” to break the lockdown in the Alpine resort town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the Independent said, quoting German media.

But rather than isolate, he moved in a harem of 20 concubines along with a team of servants, the UK paper said, citing German tabloid Bild.

The king, widely known as Rama X, planned an even bigger party — but 119 members of his entourage were forced to return to Thailand amid fears they had the potentially deadly bug, the report said.

I heard results won't be posted till 4/13 because of mail in ballots.

Found this anecdote about the Sixers classic worst team:
In “Perfectly Awful,” Charley Rosen’s book on Philadelphia’s historically bad season, Rosen recalls a scene where John Q. Trapp was told he was being subbed out. Trapp said no, then pointed a friend in the crowd, who flashed a gun in a shoulder holster. Rubin let Trapp stay in the game.

Knicks vs. Nets from 1984 is on YES. I believe Bernard scored 60 this game.

Yep, this is the game. Bernard is unstoppable. 40 points at halftime.
