There are these rare moments when musicians together touch something sweeter than they've ever found before in rehearsals or performance, beyond the merely collaborative or technically proficient, when their expression becomes as easy and graceful as friendship or love. This is when they give us a glimpse of what we might be, of our best selves, and of an impossible world in which you give everything you have to others, but lose nothing of yourself. Out in the real world there exist detailed plans, visionary projects for peaceable realms, all conflicts resolved, happiness for everyone, for ever – mirages for which people are prepared to die and kill. Christ's kingdom on earth, the workers' paradise, the ideal Islamic state. But only in music, and only on rare occasions, does the curtain actually lift on this dream of community, and it is tantalizingly conjured, before fading away with the last notes - Ian McEwan, from his novel Saturday

88 - He led a long, rich, fruitful life.  Great article, I learned a lot about Dick!  Your link is behind a payall, I used this one that was not (by googling DW).  https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/02/01/arts/dick-waterman-blues-appreciation/   ... which course looks like the same link.   ::)

As always, thanks for posting Stuart.

Hi Slack: I got there via Google as well and didn't encounter a paywall, so I wasn't aware it would be an obstruction. One of the pieces I saw mentioned "Two Trains Runnin'" which is available at PBS (if you're a subscriber).

It looks like there are two versions of the film, the original release that has a 1 hour 20 minutes runtime and the PBS version for its "Reel South" series that has been edited down to 56 minutes. It appears the latter is free, but the original is only available via the subscription services.

I watched the PBS version last night without signing in. I'm looking forward to watching the full version.
