TWINS could clinch tonight. Bring on those Yankees or those Sunny Rays.

Good morning, all. I am working from home for a while -- still hacking and coughing my way through the end of a pesky cold, and I'd rather do it at home than gross out my co-workers. Don, glad to hear you have "River" under your fingers, such a lovely tune it is. I made some fairly significant changes to Mr. Petteway's original. I like to think they are improvements, but they are probably just differences. In any event, Al claims to like by version as much as his own. God only knows why I thought of this blast from the past this morning, but here it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1c4QZGQw5o |

Good morning!
Had a great cigar club dinner last night...Anthony's Steakhouse is fabulous. I swear that was a 24 ounce prime rib. Just like butter.
One of the guys brought a guitar, so he and I ended up spending the last hour passing it back and forth, doing songs. That was fun, and it also validated one of my long-standing notions...that being that Beatles and Willie Nelson stuffalways works. And Jim Croce too. I ended up faking my way through "LeRoy Brown" with positive results.
Lunch today with my oldest daughter, then meeting with accountants, then pretending to work.

Oh I agree Bob! I'm a big RT fan, but this album and his last album (Sweet Warrior) are sort of ok. The second cut on the new album sounds like he was listening to a lot of Tom Waits the day he wrote it. Not bad, just takes some getting used to. Then the third song, Haul Me Up sounds like a live track is quite good. I couldn't get through the next couple. But maybe later I'll warm up to them, I just have to get through the whole thing still. For all I know there's a classic gem waiting for me. More "recent" albums that are top notched and I like just about every cut right off the rip are Mock Tudor and The Old Kit Bag Last time I saw RT with a full band show was with the Mock Tudor release--absolutely great show. Mock Tudor is probably my favorite album, but I don't have a lot of the back catalog. I do have a recent box set with lots of live takes and some odd things on it--it's kind of hit or miss. My son and daughter-in-law are going to the show. Hope they'll like it--they are Great Big Sea fans so I think RT will go over well. |

I like to think they are improvements, but they are probably just differences. In any event, Al claims to like by version as much as his own. I'd be curious to hear his.....send a link if you have one. I like yours.....obviously I learned it from yours. But I have also thrown in a few nuances of mine. With a piece like this, we'll all hear it a bit different.....but the main framework of it I kept as is. |

TWINS could clinch tonight. Bring on those Yankees or those Sunny Rays. They sure have had a stellar season. Hope they do the whole deal. (Gotta hope for a late start to Winter though.) |

I find that Hank stuff always works too.
