## My Favorite CD

Joey DeFrancesco has passed away. He was only 51 years old. Too young. (Younger 
than me…). I couldn’t hear his live performance. I really wanted to hear him. This
time, in memoriam of Joey DeFrancesco, I’d like to introduce some songs focusing
on the organ.

Let’s start with this song.

### One hundred ways – Joey DeFrancesco

I think Joey must have really loved this song. I think you can find a live performance
of this song on the Internet. He looks like he is really enjoying playing. It really
cheers me up to see them. I feel that an organ is somewhat like a toy, and a big
guy like Joey, with a sweaty forehead, is seriously playing with it. That’s what
I like about it. I think this song is full of that kind of organ fun.
Next is a 
live album with Mr. Stoic Pat Martino. In the case of jazz, a trio of guitar, organ,
and drums is a common pattern, and there are many great performances of this kind,
but this tense live performance is absurdly cool!

### Mac Tough – Pat Martino

When I ask “who is a jazz organist,” almost everyone thinks of this guy. I guess
you can’t miss him. Let’s listen to this song that he played with Kenny Burrell.
Is this jazz or blues?

### Blue Bash ! – Jimmy Smith

Next up is this guy who I personally listen to more often than Jimmy Smith. This
one is also a trio with Grant Green.

### Jumpin’ Jupiter – Baby Face Willett

The organ and guitar always makes the jazz bluesy sound much more intense. In a 
way, it is much more blues than the soft B.B. King!

Now, let’s move on to some cool organ rock and soul songs.

### Like a rolling stone – Bob Dylan

### When a man loves a woman – Percy Sledge

### The house of the rising sun – Animals

### Burn – Deep Purple

### The Genetic Method  Chest Fever – The Band

As usual, here is my song at the end. I can’t play the organ, so it’s not included,
but I would love to have an organ on this song. I wish someone plays an organ in
this song.

#### Kaneko’s Song of the Day

**You are my sunshine sometimes**　　 Lyrics: KANEKO Chalin

Oh it will be worse, darlin’
just like a curseof north wood birdsin dark with dirtWhat’s
your next cards?full broken wordsand stolen heartsOh you are really smartI didn’t
mean to hurt youThe way you say makes me frustrateI was just trying to help youI
know it but just need “it’s OK”You are sometimes painsometimes paidsometimes rainsometimes
shadesometimes slowsometimes friendsometimes snowsometimes windAlmost all time we
have to runWe can make us live little funYou are sometimes sunYou are my sunshine
sometimes

Baby I feel good
But you don’t lookYou are reading a bookabout arranging strange
rocksMidnight coughingMidnight sobbingMidnight drinkingYou pose everything is nothing
