Paper Cup
Great hard-packing heavy wet snowball snow. Lousy shoveling. Maybe 5 inches, but it's concentrate . Temp hovering around freezing all day, roads just starting to ice up around here now. Weren't getting much of anything for a few hours, the snow was circling around north & west of here. Just walked up to 7-11, uncomfortable only when a gust came around the apt building at the top of the hill.
Great alto saxophonist Bud Shank, with a little help from Chet Baker, plays "Paper Cup," a jaunty song Jimmy Webb wrote for The 5th Dimension, from one of Bud's Sixties pop jazz LPs for World Pacific label that've always been knocked but I find entertaining, modest, even charming & offbeat. Like this number. Ripped from vinyl complete with skips, by a dedicated record collector.
