A giant and gentleman to the end. RIP, Hank.

Very interesting. Thanks for the heads up.

Nice vid.........thanks!

This is not sounding good.

Saw him in February at Yoshi's. Here's a capsule review I posted on JazzCorner:

I don't like hearing that.

That's ashame. I didn't know that.

I like THAT, too! Probably won't make traffic any worse than it already is in that neighborhood. It's adjacent to the Civic Center that has the Davies Symphony Hall, Opera House and Bill Graham Civic Auditorium as well as the City Hall.

I like the way you think! Will put that on the calendar for Fall 2012.

San Francisco Jazz Group Plans Its Own Building Dedicated to the Genre Nomadic SFJazz to settle into permanent home This is very exciting. Looks like it will be a world class venue. Also exciting is that in a couple of weeks I'm moving to a building that's right next door. VERY convenient ...

I've heard one or two of their recent albums. Not all bad - don't know what their live show is like. I'm sure there's stuff on YouTube.

We had a discussion about this and other things last month HERE.

Got mine a couple of years ago - #5322. NP: disk IV!

Good stuff! I saw her/them last month in Austin. Well worth seeing live if you get a chance. There was a short, entertaining interview in Sunday's NY Times.

Not only the Band from the "Rock of Ages" concerts, but if you watch carefully, you get a few shots of the great Joe Farrell.

Stellar.

Always good to hear "Anesthetize"

Very impressive album. Finally getting around to some quality time with it.

uhhhhhhhhhh, no? I did see that they played Coachella this past weekend, though.

Thanks, Ghost, that IS a great tune. Someone commented on the video: "One of the best songs no one's ever heard of." Definitely a group deserving wider recognition. This Mitch Easter album "Dynamico" from 2007 is excellent, too.

It's ALWAYS Erik's birthday! You should know that by now, Free.

Agggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg Happy B-DAY!!

Unfortunately, it looks like the closest you'll get to San Francisco is Tahoe City (not close).

I'm still using a 30GB Creative Zen Vision M that I got about 5 years ago. Still works great - no problems/no issues. Never use the video capabilities and only rarely use the FM radio.
