I was at some of those shows. I was at this show, surprised to see it come out:

Who's that guitar player on her version? "[Ronstadt] wisely continued her relationship with arranger/orchestra leader Nelson Riddle whose experience and talent kept her and the project true to the sound and style of the material. For his part, Riddle recruited such musicians as guitarist Bob Mann (who'd go on to play for Rod Stewart in his forays into the same type of material), drummer John Guerin, bassist Bob Magnusson, and pianist Don Grolnick, all of whom were veterans of the big band and lounge scene, making them perfect for this project." Thanks!

That's awful.

Kyle was blogging about this piece for years before his version finally got performed and recorded. I've always had a lot of respect for Kyle, I loved his articles in the Voice. Those were the days.

I met Dennis Johnson about fifteen years ago, had a nice little chat. He didn't have too much to say about music, he was staying at La Monte Young's Dream House, visiting.

I don't think I ever posted about this here... more on Spinning on Air, Dennis Johnson's "November".

more here.

FB sucks for discussions. It's not really set up for serious discussion.

Ultra cute and thirty years younger than me. Hey kid, let's go to my place and listen to Interstellar Space.

I'm happy to see people who give me money too.

AAJ on Facebook Thursday afternoon:

Maybe

this thread looks familiar.

the AAJ forums seem to have disappeared. It was a good place for musicians/music theory, something I checked out every day. If the AAJ forums are gone, so is a lot of interesting nuts and bolts music discussion. Sad.

It sells.

Sounds like the sale was huge success.
