wow!

I just ordered the Sonic Youth "Daydream Nation" 2CD Deluxe edition - $13.98 was a good price.

Looking forward to Yoshi's in Feb!

Hey, Peter. Give us a review afterwards. I'll do the same in February ... (after Yoshi's)

When I lived in NY, I had a studio about that size on the Upper West Side.

That "Charisma!" group is coming to Yoshi's in February.

Totally agree. I didn't understand the negative comments about it, either.

There's going to be an exhibit at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts in the Spring, too. Lots of information here: http://www.jazzloftproject.org/

I wonder if there's any relation to Barry Zito (I couldn't find any). From Wikipedia: His father composed and arranged music for Nat King Cole in the early 1960s (ca.1961-64), and arranged for the Buffalo Symphony.

Also Aquarius Records on Valencia. Lotsa food, drink and entertainment on that street, too. It's kind of like San Francisco's "East Village". 2nd that, the Mission is so colorful. Tons of great drink and food in addition to having some of the best weather in the city. Though it may be closer to Brooklyn based on the the high Hipster w/Beard population in the area. Yeah......probably more like B'lyn these days (from what I hear). I still relate to NYC from living there in the 80s.

Bad newz - it ain't working ... again. WTF????

Hey! I finally figured out what the problem was. I have been using a 32-bit version if IE on a 64-bit computer. I don't know why things changed, but now it works. Let's CHAT!!

As long as you know that the Grand Canyon is several hundred miles from SF, you'll be fine. The NY Times had an article about the GC in winter just this past Sunday: Walking Into the Earth’s Heart: The Grand Canyon If you're driving, you might as well detour through Death Valley. Should be spectacular in the winter. North of the Bay Area near the California/Oregon border is Crater Lake, which is worth seeing. Also in NE California is Lassen Nat'l Park - featuring a dormant volcano. No shortage of things to do out here - that's for SURE.

Jazzmasters do seem to be making a MAJOR comeback these days. I should try one out sometime. BTW, that was GREAT price for that PRS on Black Friday. I wish I had known - then again, I was out of town, so I guess it didn't matter.

They have it on eMusic.......so I'm DL-ing it now. Thanks for the heads-up, Agggggggggg. PS - listening now. I hear a little NIN and Allan Holdsworth in it, too.

"Drag Beat" by the De-Fenders was one of the first albums I ever owned. Still have it. GREAT instros!

Awwwwwww........how sweet! I'll check that out, thanks Robt.

I still have no idea why I can't access this anymore.

I don't know why FB doesn't let you "group chat".

Bfefck ROCKED! (and he was subbing for Clapton who couldn't make it because of gall stones)

For what it was, I thought most of the performances were well done. Not always the case when you have a showcase of mega-stars. I even thought that Fergie did a praiseworthy Merry Clayton on "Gimme Shelter". One notable exception was the presence of Sting. Showing up during Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" and literally grinding that tune to a screeching halt with a ponderous version of "Roxanne" was blasphemous. He also didn't do himself any favors by attempting to sing (in a "soulful" way) "People Get Ready" with Jeff Beck. Probably not his fault, but the misguided decision of whoever programmed this show.

Since I seem to be having some trouble accessing it, I guess it's OK by me if you cancel it, Jim. And I do miss the multi-hour trash-a-thons.

Hope you're having a great one, Felser! Good day to have a birthday (mine was yesterday)
