let there be music

So, I was reading along in a Leo Waterman series book (by G. M. Ford) last night and he mentioned playing some music by Ike Quebec, and said the music evoked late nights, rainy streets, and silky lingerie, or something like that. Those things together suggested film noir to me, so I checked it out this AM. Some of the music I found is too much jazz for me, but there are several that are more bluesy, film noir-y. And of course, once you have aname to start with, there are often links to "You may also like..." so now I have more to work with. I love it when I learn something unexpected from a mystery novel. Now that I think of it, this series would make fantastic film noir. It's set in Seattle, and the protagonist uses street people to do some of his watching for him. There's usually a body count, but it doesn't number in the dozens. Good enough for me!

Getting some stuff done this AM. Busy, busy. I may have to go shopping or to the library to cool off later. Pity there isn't a damn thing at the cheap movie place I'm even willing to sit through, and certainly nothing I'm willing to pay $1.50 to see. Never know when I might decide I need something I can buy with a buck fifty.
