Big Al

No kidding. I've had nothing but good service as well!

E-mail sent!

Happy Birthday, from one "Big" to another!

Just found this website about the recordings of Claus Ogerman - cover reproductions and all! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!!!

Yes, that whole "we don't accept genres...it's all music" is just a drag when it comes to actually LOOKING for stuff. Unless you have time to go from A to Z in every genre of music in the world, from beginning of the store to the end, you're screwed. Of course, Waterloo mainly just sells local singer songwriter garbage out the ying yang along with the Los Lonely Boys collection . A-frickin'-MEN!!!! About ten years ago, I remember part of the reason I looked forward to going to Austin was for the record stores. With all the small record stores (Sound Exchange, and there was this other place right off Guadalupe that was in this reconstructed house) and Tower gone, going to Austin just for the music stores is a thing of the past.

Did any of y'all catch the cowbell story on NPR the other day? This page even has a link to the SNL skit about the cowbell (which I'd never seen before, and LMAO!!!) as well as a link to the Cowbell Project.

yessss: http://web.axelero.hu/nadori2/index.html It's like watching flippin' Napoleon and Kip Dynamite. GOSHHH!!! just as funnee? Heck yeah it is! It's sweeeet!

Winona Ryder.... right up there with Keanu Reeves when it comes to acting range. I never saw "Much Ado," but I figure it's gotta be as laughable as "Dangerous Liaisons," no?

Dude, that wasn't acting, though!

Hey! I've seen trees with greater acting range! Let's not lump them all together now!

Can't believe I didn't recognize Junior!!! His git-steel playin' is da SHIZNIT!!!

33 Degrees. They closed in 2004. DRAT!!!! Thanks for the heads up, tho!

Antone's on Guadalupe is worth a look-see, even tho' I haven't been in there in years. I think there's another vinyl shop on Guadalupe more towards 38th Street, but I don't remember the name of it. To be honest, I've only driven past it but never gone in, so I couldn't tell you if it's worth anyone's time or not.

If it's even 1/10 as entertaining as this was, it MIGHT be worth seeing. But this was so much more enjoyable!!!

Somebody needs to grab Jack Wilson's SOMETHING PERSONAL. At that price, it's a steal, and it is some hauntingly beautiful music!

These are the titles I'm most looking forward to! There seems to be a lot more adventure in this batch.

I haven't heard the SACD layer of this disc, but the "regular" layer blows the old '86 CD clear outta the water. The acoustic guitars sound like they're right there next to you!

ALRIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!! Momma looks very VERY relieved!!!

Man, Joe's really letting his hair grow! Have you not had a haircut since I last saw you?

Ahh; thank you! As for me, I’ve been an accountant for so long, I forgot about the odd jobs I held down before becoming an accountant: Summer 1985: worked in Costume/Character Dept. at Six Flags Over Texas, dressing up as Bugs Bunny, Foghorn Leghorn, and Sylvester the Cat among others. Ahhhh, the memories THAT job provided! Summer 1987: worked in food service for SFOT. THAT job also provided a bunch of great memories, some I can’t remember, others I wish I couldn’t! Spring 1988 thru Spring 1990: delivered pizzas for Pizza Inn. That job damn near cured me of fast-food pizza for life! Ever since then it’s been nothin’ but number-crunching!

So I scarfed up the J.B.'s Anthology and lo and behold, that's Soul Brother #1...... ON THE DRUMS!!!! Now I REALLY can't wait to find out the story behind this one!

I can't believe I actually said that!!! Oh the shame of it! Especially when you consider I started a thread looking for Sonny recs sometime after this!
