Lloyd Price: Lawdy!

Agreed. The only fault that I find with it is that I have some other favorite KD recordings, but that's just me.

John Sebastian wrote the music for You're a Big Boy Now, including "Amy's Theme". Incidentally, it's not surprising that you picked up on the harmonica on that song. Sebastian's father was a classical harmonica player - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sebastian_(classical_harmonica_player - and some of the musical talent was obviously passed down. John Sebastian lived in Woodstock for many years and, as far as I know, still resides there, so you'll have to take a bit of a road trip if you want to have a go at him. I met him once, and he seemed like a truly nice guy. I mentioned that I had seen him at one of jazz guitarist Eddie Diehl's gigs. His response was, "He's my idol." In addition to playing, Eddie Diehl was also a luthier, and did guitar work for Sebastian.

If you truly want an item, it should be worth the "trouble" of writing a check and no reason to be infuriated.

That does seem crazy. Great music.

Happy Birthday to our new birthday guy!

A very interesting (because there's much truth there) article. Thanks for posting the link.

Congratulations to the Seattle Storm on winning the 2018 WNBA championship. There were a number of hard fought and entertaining games played during the WNBA playoffs this season.

I'm very interested in the Barre Phillips album.

The Rays have moved ahead of Seattle for the #6 spot in the AL. They're still 10 back of the Yankees and 8 1/2 back of the A's, with only 17 games left. It's very unlikely, but I'd like to see them get into the playoffs. The way that the Yankees are playing and the way that Boone is managing, they don't deserve to be in the post season mix.
