Hi Peeps
This month say 'farewell' to Turdus Merula. Frankly, I think blackbirds ought to unite against taxonomists and have the latin name changed. If you are a dead language biologist 'turdus' is supposed to mean thrush. In my household a blackbird eats worms but a turdus feeds the septic tank
I have long had a fondness for Miles Davis doing plaintive like there's no tomorrow. I don't know how he put up with John Coltrane planting his size twelve boots all over this and other gentle numbers
But that's jazz

And a rather enchanting recording of Nina Simone winging it

The redoubtable @nigeld has done the hard graft on our behalf. Backing track-wise he has created a more sultry 125bpm, an upbeat bossa at 140 bpm and a geetar version at 140 bpm for those with a country leaning
Sheets and backing here
