I am really #sick have inflamed vocal cords. I can't speak and because of my sinuses, one of my ears feel 'blocked', so even music is out of the the question.
But when I get back to stereo, could you recommend me some #joyous#jazz from 1960's and up?
I really love Mastodon, my Heads place, you warm my heart.
Ok, here goes.
Oliver Nelson, "The Blues and the Abstract Truth".
Tito Puente and His Latin Ensemble, "Mambo Diablo".
Ray Bryant, "Con Alma".
Nicola Conte, "Jet Sounds".
Ginger Baker Trio, with Charlie Haden & Bill Frisell.
Stanley Clarke, Larry Carlton, Billy Cobham, Deron Johson and Najee, "Live at the Greek".
Larry Carlton & Steve Lukather, "Live in Osaka".
Hope this helps.
I had forgotten what the internet used to be like 20 or more years ago.
But it's just occurred to me that a couple of hours ago I asked a bunch of random strangers a fairly random question (about repairing a broken watch) and quickly got back multiple helpful and informative replies.
This is what the net used to be like, back in the days of usenet and email lists and the early web forums. And most people have probably never experienced it at all, their impression of social media being very different from those of us here on the Fediverse.
PS: It's probably very unfair to call you "random strangers". Even in just the 18 months I've been here I've found and chatted with people I'm happy to call friends, even though I've never met them face-to-face.

let me second this. I feel so much gratitude towards the autistic community. Colors and forms do a similar thing to me as community does. They form a space of resonance I can put my deepest feelings into and allow them to open and unfold. It's like an embrace. Here are some colors and shapes of my own. This one is abstract and it feels similar to me as a cat, laying on my chest, purring on my heart. @actuallyautistic
All I want for #xmas is to be left alone from the expectations and the stress and the disappointment and the anxiety and platitudes and gatherings. #thankyou
