Excellent!

Enjoy! I saw him in LA this week. He and the band were on fire for over 2 hours.

I guess it doesn't really bother me because I don't have much interest in these. I would much rather spend money on a "good" instrument that works for me than one that "belonged" to someone else. Having said that, I did buy a J Mascis Squier several years ago but mostly because it got great reviews and was VERY affordable at <$450.

But these look like they are more than "tributes", they're custom exact replicas with decals, cig burns, scratches, etc. Most "tributes" seem to be in the low thousands. My friend just got a George Harrison "Rocky" Strat, which was $2k.

Real high energy show last night! And 2+ hours of non-stop music.

Seeing Steve Earle tomorrow (Tues) at the Troubadour in LA

Nice!

Cool! I don't know his stuff that well, but I like this album and his last solo. I must have heard him on McMurtry albums, too. I know you're a big Ely fan!

I know this is out of the time frame (2005), but a great late-era Gerald Wilson. Worth checking out.

I think Magnum is my favorite Gurus album!

Hotel booked, but holding off on the plane to see if fares drop in the next few months

This was a pretty interesting Obit, too https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/01/arts/music/mo-ostin-dead.html

Congrats!
