Starts of slow with the first pick, but the rest are solid, and with my favorite late GBV song and one of my fave Pave's, plus a fine YLT, so I'm happy, plus Hayden showed up today (but now I'm liking that L. Slim a lot, too, Ahab). Yes, George, that's a great Graham Parker song. Ain't heard it in a long time.

George, did you see Joshua Redman when he played at PSU in '94? Great show. Maybe it was '95, though, after you left.

Marty, I see iTunes picks up your latest listening too. Mine was getting into a rut, so I'm trying to broaden my listening habits.
