I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know artist: Michael Ruff, posted by LovelyLuz
I said, "I love you more than you'll ever know," today and told him that he was not only appreciated every day and missed while he was away, but he was also an essential part of my life. Don't forget to tell the ones you love how much they matter!
Who could predict that THIS IS A RECORDING would be their last?
It was maybe in the mid 80s when I chanced upon their concert airing on television. Odd, I thought. They had large desktop computers by their instruments, and on one song (Toy Chest), they tinkered with colorful rattles, wind-ups, wheeled gizmos and other playthings to produce a most enchanting piece.
Flim & the BB's was their name. Flim is bassist Jimmy Johnson's nickname, and the BB's are, well, keyboardist Billy Barber and percussionist Billy Berg (reeds man Dick Oatts joined them later). Among the pioneers of digital sound recording, they were hired by 3M in the late 70s as studio musicians to test out the company's newly-developed recording equipment, and since then, created a following among enthusiasts of contemporary jazz and tech geeks alike.
Their last CD, THIS IS A RECORDING, produced in 1992, contains one of my favorite smooth jazz tracks of all time. Still relevant after 2 decades, and showcasing the incomparable pipes of Michael Ruff, here is NEW SNOW.
