Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. ..Harmonious Wail is one of the foremost ensembles in the Gypsy Jazz field playing today. Based in Madison, Wisconsin the band has toured the world bringing their unique sound to listeners of every background. On their latest album and their first for Range Records the “Wail” (as they are affectionately known) decided to branch out from the mode that they established on previous releases and embrace a body of work not traditionally associated with the genre. .. Specifically, this meant recording songs by Tom Waits, Steely Dan, The Velvet Underground and a handful of other bands and solo artists that are generally associated with a rock music sensibility. Tackling these compositions proved to be both a challenge and also a refreshing change of pace for the members of the Wail. Recorded partially at Range's facility in Philadelphia and also in their hometown this approach allowed the band to build on their seasoned fit as players and at the same time bring in an entirely new repertoire they may not have approached in the general course of events. .. From the moody and introspective version of “Home At Last” from the album Aja to the yearning Americana of “Unfaithful Servant” by The Band and of course a tasty selection of original songs like “Lung Shan Temple Chant” (inspired by their trip to China) this seductive new album is poised to place Harmonious Wail in front of a whole new audience who are sure to be deeply impressed by their talent, charm and originality... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Want this widget on your page?

Just BE HAPPY Harmonious!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT HAPPINESS ...
"We tend to forget that HAPPINESS doesn't come as a
result of GETTING SOMETHING we don't have, but rather
of recognizing and appreciating WHAT WE DO HAVE."
~ Frederick Koenig
PEOPLE ARE JUST AS HAPPY AS THEY MAKE UP THEIR
MINDS TO BE!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

ENJOY LIFE Harmonious!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE GIFT OF LIFE ...
"Every moment you get is a GIFT.
SPEND IT ON THINGS THAT MATTER.
Don’t spend it by dwelling on unhappy things.”
LIFE IS A GIFT. NEVER FORGET TO ENJOY AND BASK IN EVERY MOMENT YOU ARE IN!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

Share the WARMTH and LOVE OF CHRISTMAS Harmonious!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT SANTA CLAUS ...
KRIS KRINGLE, the ONLY MAN OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED AND CERTIFIED as "THE ONE AND ONLY SANTA CLAUS" by Order of the New York State Supreme Court, the Honorable Judge Henry X. Harper presiding, says as follows:
"Be a LITTLE NICER and a LITTLE MORE KIND to everyone you meet and come in contact with this Christmas season.
Christmas is a GIVING TIME, a CHARITABLE TIME, a time when men of goodwill can REACH OUT TO THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED, and give them LOVE, WARMTH, and UNDERSTANDING."
CHRISTMAS WAVES A MAGIC WAND OVER THIS WORLD, AND BEHOLD, EVERYTHING IS SOFTER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL!

Have a GOOD LAUGH today Harmonious!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT GREAT QUESTIONS ...
1. I went to a bookstore and asked the sales woman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
2. If a mute swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap?
3. Can vegetarians eat animal crackers?
4. If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?
5. What was the best thing before sliced bread?
6. If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2?
7. If you ate pasta and antipasta, would you still be hungry?
~ George Carlin
Harmonious
THE KIND OF HUMOR I LIKE IS THE THING THAT MAKES ME
LAUGH FOR 5 SECONDS AND THINK FOR 10 MINUTES.
THE MOST WASTED OF ALL DAYS IS ONE WITHOUT
LAUGHTER!
