I'm back in the sweet part of the states, you guys. I've missed Minnesota ever since we alighted for the territories, but it's just now dawning on me that I haven't lived here in almost a decade. That's hard to believe.

Loading... okay, i think we've had a long enough string of star grabs. here's something i'd still give 10 stars to, while knowing the majority might generously give 4.
2004
don't forget to toss your name into the hat for guest DJs, y'all.

Dr. John on the Ivories backed by Jools Holland's brass. If you're not busy on the 28th of this month you can catch Dr. John at the House of Blues in NOLA, but be warned the drinks are overprices and watered down.

i really wish i could have been around when this album dropped, long after dylan was thought to be washed up, and blew everyone's minds.

(3 votes, average: 7.67 out of 10)Loading... I loves me some classical guitar. I've mentioned this before, but one of the formative cultural experiences of my childhood was going to the then-pretty-new Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis to see Julian Bream (it had to have been 1974 or 1975). brotherS and I sat in the nosebleed seats, separate from our parents, as they were unable to get four tickets together. We dressed up in our Sunday best for the show and were warned on pain-of-death not to so much as cough. And we went out to a real Chinese restaurant (i.e., silverwear and china dishes, not plastic and styrofoam) beforehand. Also, Julian Bream and I share a birthdate, so that's cool too.
