This has been a great way to start my mornings.

You’re going to spoil us, Rich.

OK, that’s it I’m done for the day after watching this. Time for some Maker’s Mark and to wrap up the day. Good stuff Rich.

Another day of music means another day when IL newsies forgot to email Stu Levine or tell the whole story behind Mitt’s subprime preadator lender HomeBanc.
How about calling Rutherford and asking about ‘Lexi?

I’m just as impressed by the guitarist getting the Fender bends & chops sounding so much like Garcia’s as I am by the vocalist.

Off topic — I just learned about Jessie J last week. I see that in addition to the highly produced versions of her popular songs (Like “Bang Bang” & “Price Tag”) she has live versions on youtube with an acoustic group that are just as good or better.

I knew it was true, but it’s fun to see that fine popular music doesn’t stop with the passing of generations.

Screw the politics. Let’s just do music today.

The wrapping paper on this gift wasn’t what I would have expected. This young lady is “really good”. So is the band. I really enjoyed this one, Rich. Thanks!

She’s got sort of a Natalie Merchant thing going on. Amazing voice.

Silky and soulful. Going back to bed.
