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.

Come on up to SF! (I don't think your tour comes through here)

Ride "Nowhere" Tom Verlaine "Cover"

That was a good one - "In Rock" is up there, too.

What Noj said ...

Miles - Complete On the Corner, disk 6 That's alllllllllll good!

A little off-topic, but I just picked up the re-mastered version of "Fairport Live Convention" (or is it Fairport Convention "Live"?). I had the original vinyl which was called "A Moveable Feast", but this re-master sounds great. The bonus tracks sound nice, too, but apparently were recorded during the period before Sandy Denny came back to the band.

I love the Sadies but they don't fit in the mold of what Bev is looking for. They have more of a rock attitude Think of it Neko Case could be your thing, Eleni Mandell could be another one to explore I think the Sadies are a great suggestion. Very much a Byrds-like sound (Clarence White era). They need to be seen live to really appreciate them, though. While their albums are good, you don't get the full effect of the Good brothers until you see them work together on stage. BTW, the Sadies back up Neko Case on "The Tigers Have Spoken".

THAT'S a great first show. I saw Frank the next year when they recorded "Another Band from LA" at UCLA. Considering the lineup, you WERE!
