Ended Thursday and welcomed Friday after the first swim of the year with That Lonely Feeling by Alvino Rey, released on Capitol in 1960.

One of the mellower albums from Alvino Rey -- the amazing 50s pedal steel guitar (or console guitar) player who made some very cool records for Capitol! Although some of Rey's records for the label have the feel of Esquivel's best work, this one's a bit dreamier -- still quite odd, and almost otherworldly, but done with strings by Ralph Carmichael, for a feel that gets at the "lonely" in the title. Rey's still playing well -- oddly and eerily on a few numbers that sound especially nice -- and titles include "Just A Cottage Small", "Love Me Tender", "My Buddy", "Try A Little Tenderness", and "Harbor Lights" - Dusty Groove

Rey was the maternal grandfather of American musicians Win Butler and Will Butler, who were both in the band Arcade Fire.

Ended the Solstice weekend and welcomed the blue skies of a Monday off work after my swim with Here's That Rainy Day an album by Paul Horn which was originally released on the RCA Victor label in 1966.

Soothing easy listening jazz. The kind of thing my long-gone parents would listen to, especially at this time of year, so quite nostalgic for me.
