Great idea, Jim. So much good stuff to choose from, I'm sure you'll make the right decisions.

You can just copy and paste now. Don't even need to insert a link. NICE!

Nope.

Tony, that link's not working. any good now. Bought in Feb this year, i wouldn't lose too much if i decided to trade. All I get with that link is a generic album of "featured photos".

Tony, that link's not working.

They don't say the honors are limited to American artists, only those who have contributed to American culture.

No worries - I did, too. Thought they weren't coming to SF until September.

I didn't see the whole thing, but I liked the Buddy Guy segment, too. Actually, I thought Bonnie Raitt blew Hart and Beck away. She had more class than Hart and more chops (that night, at least) than Beck. Sadly I've found Jeff Beck to be pretty sleepy in recent years.

12 Angry Men - RIP

Lefty's Left Hand Store FYI, I'm not pushing this site. I have no connection at all.

I was a HUGE Iron Butterfly fan in their heyday (my HS years). Heavy, IAGDV, and Ball seemed so cool at the time. Needless to say, they haven't aged all that well, but for me I'll always remember those years.

This on FB today: Steven Wilson - Official page Here is a photo of the deluxe edition of "The Raven That Refused To Sing (and other stories)". This limited edition 4 disc edition is presently available for a special early bird price here -https://www.burnings...roduct/65/4461/ you think he's trying to channel this?

Lefty here! I "mouse" and play guitar 'right'. Otherwise - ALL left. The greatest lefty of ALL:

Graham Parker & the Rumour. Really good show. Did a nice job of mixing stuff from their new album with classic "oldies". Nice to see these guys back together again!

Don't know much about these Akai pedals, but they seem to be clearing them out (or something). At $40, they're about 75% cheaper than normal retail. The message boards talk about how they're really rebranded GFS and/or Biyang technology. But if they work , what's the difference? I just picked up the Analog Delay last week from MF on a 'Stupid Deal' for $29. Sounds pretty good to me.

Hey, Jim, thanks for the reminder! I got that when it came out and never really listened to it much, although I saw them when they came to Yoshi's. Time to give it a spin.

One more anachronism if I remember correctly. There's one scene where you see a stack of records in his apartment and the one on top is Miles' "Tutu".

I only have vol 1 of the "Indian" set. Sounds great to me. I keep thinking I need to get the rest of it, too.

I'm sure this is good. It just came out. Available HERE

No problem on you late-comers. I appreciate the thought. Onward to b-day 2013!

Hey....................THANKS, guys! Nice of you all to chime in today.

Yes, pretty astounding, that's for sure.

Sharon Jones brought the house down at the Davies Symphony Hall in SF last night. I don't know how she keeps up that intensity for 2 full hours - very impressive!
