Farrago's and the Alley House Grille in Pagosa Springs. Owned by the same people and I have yet to have a bad meal there and right now I doubt that I ever will.
I always like the way the vibes sounded. Have you ever checked out the Arista All Stars Montreux recordings? Their approach sounds similar to how you're describing Steps Ahead. I'll have to check out their recordings sometime.
Hey, if you want rage in a red sport coat, have I got the guy for you!
Of course, Mr. Knight's second-preferred sport is bowling-for-referees:
If I had to wear coat like that I'd be in a rage too.
I remember that brouhaha with Elvis Costello. At the time I didn't care for his music so I really didn't give a shit about what happened to him at the time he did bring it on himself. I liked the duet that he did with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and I'm very curious about his collabaration with Allen Toussaint. I didn't like what Elvis said at the time but I kind of get the impression that he didn't either. We've all said and done things that we have to live with. Hopefully for Richards the baggage won't be too overwhelming but at this point and time I doubt it.
