I’m a Sarah Vaughn fan, though I tend toward the remixes these days. ‘Round Midnight’, ‘East of the Sun, West of the Moon’ and ‘Summertime’ from Verve or Jazz Lounge pop up in my workday playlists.
But I wasn’t familiar with her version of ‘Just a Little Lovin'’ till I read this and did a search. A song that remains powerful after a decade-long hunt is certainly worth looking into.

Today when my iPod quit playing via the stereo speakers, there was an battery icon I hadn’t seen before. After hurriedly checking to make sure it could be revived, I set about recharging. Apparently I had never let it run down to this level before, wherein it ‘is not able to connect with your computer or appear in iTunes’. Well, at least for 30 min. or thereabouts.
Whew!
At least I didn’t get the sad iPod icon.
We’ve all been to concerts where certain members of the audience should have stayed home in bed due to their severe upper respiratory illnesses. (At least one sitting very close to you.) Now the BBC has revealed their solution to keep the noise down at Radio 3 concert recordings: cough drops.
Even the annoying sounds of unwrapping cellophane have been banished by using waxed paper instead.
