Smooth Jazz Sunday

(From 9/16/2019). Well…technically not Smooth Jazz but more in the genre of Jazz Fusion.  I can’t believe I haven’t posted any Pat Metheny up here yet since he is probably the artist whose concerts I’ve paid to see the most times.  Fair Warning: You’ll definitely be seeing more of his stuff later but as a starter let’s go with “Last Train Home”.  It’s another one of those songs that are on every one of my USB music sticks and playlists.
