Devil's Bridge arch in Sedona, AZ, 7 Nov 2024 (I'm on the left)

Joe Ely - Live Shots

I wouldn't even consider a bagel that wasn't boiled before baking. That's sacrilege! The Einstein Bagels chain doesn't boil, and we think theirs taste awful. But they're sort of the McDonald's of bagels anyway. Mom & pop stores are where they're best. I didn't get a photos of the bagel counter, but this is from Yelp:

Kettleman's Bagel Shop, Bridgewater NJ 26 Oct 2024 ...have been craving a "real" bagel since moving from NJ a year and a half ago. This one fit the bill.

Fanny's a cool band, nice to see them here. I've got the Rhino Handmade box "First Time in a Long Time" which goes for pretty good money these days. My copy is signed by all four of the primary members - June Millington, Jean Millington, Alice de Buhr, and Nickey Barclay. Kind of wild since they don't all get along, particularly Nickey (who had previously toured with Joe Cocker on the Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour).

Man, I'd be up the creek if I forgot my key for that gate.

Joe Strummer - Global A Go Go

Icehouse - Sidewalk I sort of fell out of love with this band after this release. They had a couple of big pop hits later, but no longer sounded like Icehouse to me. Trivia - Guy Pratt plays bass on this album. Pratt has been Pink Floyd's bassist post-Roger Waters, and plays and tours with both David Gilmour and Nick Mason separately. And he married Rick Wright's daughter lol.

Aurora Borealis, Arizona 10/10/24 First time I've ever seen the Northern Lights in person, and never expected that would happen this far south.

Radiohead - Hail to the Thief ...I love the 2 cd compilations of Radiohead's EMI albuns, despite the band not sanctioning them. They do a great job of compiling all of the bsides and associated tracks for each album.

Doug Sahm - Groovers Paradise

Couldn't be worse than the Rangers/DBags last year, could it? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/02/business/media/world-series-ratings.html#:~:text=The five games averaged 9.1,of 9.8 million in 2020. Whoever it is, I'll just hope for competitive baseball.

Icehouse - Dubhouse

Hey we went to multiple Phillies games every season while living there. After moving out to the desert last year, we've had one series vs the DBacks each regular season, and attended 3 of the 4 games each time. This year we got to take our 10 month old grandson to his first Phillies game as well. Plus last year the Phillies played (and were upset by) the DBacks in the postseason, and we went to multiple games for that as well. I'm just hopeful we can do the same this season if it works out. We take what we can get! Strategic rooting is important!
