RECOMMENDATIONS

Shows:

Wyatt Earp on  Netflix—dramatized documentary was better than expected

Pachinko on Apple-This book is often raised as one of the best in the last 25, 50, 75 years and I have yet to read it. This show makes me think I will.

Bad Monkey on Apple—Light handed detective farce with Vince Vaughan.

Slow Horses on Apple- A favorite and now in Season 4

William Randolph Hearst biography on PBS-I was an expert on this man back in the day and this took me down memory lane. I think of him much as I have come to regard ex president Trump.

Books:

Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut—talk about memory lane……

The Unspeakable Mind by Saiali Jain—non fiction review of PTSD and worth the read.

Music:  with a mostly big city vibe:

MANHATTAN AVENUE BY Nellie McKay

LES BALEINES BLUEUS BY Daniel Roure

LIVING ALONE BY Loudon Wainwright III

THE NIGHT BY Morphine

YEH YEY BY Me and The Blue Flames
