Have Tenor Sax, Will Blow by King Curtis, released in 1959 on Atlantic.

Allmusic Review by Bruce Eder

This is one fun dance record, right from the opening bars of "Midnight Ramble," a piece that sounds like a cross-breeding of "Bo Diddley," with both the sax and the lead guitar having fun with the central riff, and "Yakety Sax." Not everything here is as delightful, hypnotically frenetic as that Curtis Ousley semi-original, but most of the album is done with an infectious sense of humor, and even the predictable numbers here, like "Linda," with its tango tempo, is eminently listenable, if not exactly breaking any new horizons in R&B. Other tracks, like "Jaywalk" and "Lil Brother," are slightly more adventurous; and the band has a lot of fun with "Peter Gunn."...

Abbey Is Blue is the fourth album by American jazz vocalist Abbey Lincoln featuring tracks recorded in 1959 for the Riverside label.

David Rickert wrote for All About Jazz:

"..With the civil rights movement looming over the horizon, no longer did singers need to stick with standards and Tin Pan Alley tunes and could truly sing about subjects that mattered to them. Lincoln picked up Billie Holiday's skill at inhabiting the lyrics of a song and projecting its emotional content outward, and these songs, all of which deal with sorrow, are stark and harrowing accounts of loss and injustice."... - Wikipedia

A greenway leading from Turton Bottoms to the Birches hamlet which shows on the 1890 map as Birches Road.

We were on our on own on the stretch of the path above Turton Bottoms and the Bradshaw Brook north of Bolton, Greater Manchester

I was glad of shade on the Fallowfield Loop a walking and cycle path on the route of an old railway in Manchester in this horrible scorching weather.

Two quite different views of the thrice-named brook Gore /Platt Fields / Chorlton, which rises in Copperas Field in Droylsden and ends in the Mersey at Chorlton Meadows

Shadow of telegraph pole wires on the road. Difficult to shoot because of traffic and humans on the road. It will be easier to take photos once the elite destroy civilisation, except we may have no cameras or food!
