Where do you find all this stuff Kenny? Hell, I dunno - just followin' me musical adventurer. Paul Williamson - On the Surface, In The Cove. Hell, let's face most CDs are too long, so releasing a double is likely to be an exercise in vanity or ego or waste - especially when the first disc is a 50-minute suite. Ha ha. If anyone was gonna prove to me that line of thought is crock, it was gonna be Paul. Bravo. Never a dull moment. Cliff Bruner And His Texas Wanderers. Another Bear Family box - delish! Got it for a less-than-retail snip, too. Not just Bruner but Bob Dunn, Leo Raley, Link Davis and Moon Mullican, too. Western swing rules, y'all.  |

John Stewart - Earth Rider. Ahhh, Americana before there was such a term. What a genius, the composer of Daydream Believer. That's on this compilation, along with a coupla dozen other goodies. Pity his only hit was the schlock he cooked up a certain Fleetwood Mac guitarist. Low-rent and unrepresenative. Hearing this stuff makes me wanna order the Phoenix concerts again.
The Band - Music From Big Purple. Ahhh, tuning up for the forthcoming boxed set.
Fred Anderson/Hamid Drake/William Parker - Blue Winter. Enjoyable enough, but a bit flabby, one concert spread/sprawled over two discs. I wanna love these guys, but can't help but feel that their reps outstrip the substance.

The Jazz Crusaders - The Pacific Jazz Quintet Studio Sessions. Cooking music of the highest order. Plus all the usual suspects: GD, Garcia, Fred Anderson, Paul Williamson. Plus, in the office here and for weeks that seem to stretch to eternity: Horse racing on the TV. The same ugly brutes going round and round and round. The same nasal-voiced callers for every identical race. The same trashy, florid dresses and preposterous hats. The same cold chook and cheap bubbly. When I look at the horrible beasties, I sort of mentally super-impose on them those butchers diagrams detailing the shape on location of the best cuts. Sort of like a horsey version of this:  |

Back to the Archive, folks ...
Am listening to the Grateful Dead perform at Fillmore West on February 11, 1970. What a hoot.
Segueing from Dark Star to Spanish Jam to Lovelight with - get this - Peter Green and Danny Kirwan from Fleetwood Mac; Duane, Greg and Berry from you-know-who; and, oh yeah, Arthur Lee on percussion.
Damn - what a freak show.

Baartz-Freeman Sextet - 12 Salutations
Ten Part Invention - Live At Wangaratta
At home:
Bix/Tram/Tea Mosaic box

Meanwhile: How about one of the most bizarre double bills of all time? Surely all serious metal heads will front up to see Motorhead REALLY do the busines and then leave before those campy lightweights from Motley Crue take the stage.
