"Attended" the listening party for this album a couple of hours ago. Been pushing the one available track (now two) along with their previous albums for the past couple of months because they're coming to town Oct. 7. The listening party gave song lyrics and annotations that help when introducing to a radio audience - plus other stories surrounding the making of the album. Wrote down my four favorite cuts while waiting for its release.

What's not brought up as often as it should be is that it's cumulative in its destructive qualities, so even after a one-time "mild" case it's setting the stage for difficulties in the future - or as often been the case - it's busy in your system wreaking havoc in small ways that will become apparent months or even years down the road. Some will have immediate negative consequences, but most will have them down the line based on the number of times they've had it. This fellow's system apparently reacted very soon afterwards.

I could understand why Bandcamp itself wouldn't be able to respond as quickly as one would want... and, unfortunately, artists/musicians can come across as slack for various reasons. Here's their suggestion at Bandcamp - and yes, I'd always advise tying your purchases to Paypal and/or your credit card in case the order doesn't arrive in a reasonable time.

If not the first two albums, then which albums do you consider their classic era?

Yup! It's incredible how much stuff is available these days - and it just keeps getting easier over time.

One of the reasons my wife and I give for not moving away to certain towns that we've considered is the lack of food variety in these places that don't ever measure up to the variety that we have here in North Texas. ... but, since the beginning of the pandemic, we've successfully recreated so many things that we'd normally get in a favorite restaurant that it isn't as much of an issue anymore.

"Cooking With Rhythm" by Alan Fagan

Been buying since the 60s and they just kept accumulating as I became drawn to many different styles of music. During high school, I would get promos sent to my house with personally written letters from Virgin Records in the UK before they opened their US offices. Those were the days when Fantasy/Prestige/Milestone, etc would send promos as well for my radio show back then. By college time in the 70s, I had around 1400 LPs. Working for record distributors, record stores, and radio stations just added to it all in the following years. Having my own store in the early 90s added to it too - driving the totals into the 5 figures. Today, I’m closest to the dream I’ve had for most of my life: access to these audio business cards in sound form only. The room that the physical media takes up is so enormous and rather embarrassing, that I often think that much of this could be sold to someone younger while I put the money into digital or, for what I think these physical editions should’ve always been - creative physical artworks - for a new generation of performers doing excellent work.
