I know, I know... It's been well over a week since I last posted something here, it's not that I've been that busy, it's just that there's lives that need to be lived. That, and the fact that we've been takin' it easy as off late (as much as possible anyways), what with the baby due to arrive any day now, capish?. Life is A-OK 'round here at the moment, and I really appreciate that a number of you have been askin'. It's just that my thoughts are elsewhere right now, so please forgive me if I'm late in responding to all o' your e-mails (if at all).
To answer several questions about my current listening habits: "just about everything!". OK, almost everything...
Doin' the rounds on the ol' hi-fi at the moment are Kitty Wells' 'God's Honky Tonk Angel' (Edsel CD), this beats just bout every alt-country gal singer by a mile, save yourself the bother, and head straight for the source. Earl Bostic - 'Blows A Fuse' (Charly LP), I first heard 'Flamingo' somewhere in the early 70s and I still haven't recovered. Bostic's alto sax playin' reigns supreme in my book. This certainly ain't no sophisticated Jazz or whatever. Just loud, un-civilized R&B wailin'. The disc I have is long out of print, but if I'm correctly informed there's a budget 2CD set out on Proper right now that should fulfill you're every need. Tony Slug pointed directions to a pretty cool MP3 by glam rock band Silver. Riff heavy, this beats legions of contenders by the proverbial whatsis.....
That's it, no offence but I gotta go 'n catch some sleep.
Talk to you later....
