Congratulations. My wife & I have our 50th anniversary on July 7.

Hot. 102 yesterday & we're 7000+ feet above sea level. Humidity is around 10%. Total rainfall here for the year is .7 of an inch. Many forest fires in the state.

I applaud these choices.

I ordered the Ornette!!

I have all 3. Well worth it IMO.

Agree. Great series.

I like MOPDTK.

The Killing - last night's episode.

I have that disc. It has been a while since I listened to it, but I do recall a favorable initial response. Will have to pull it out again. Ditto.

I prefer Evans to Payton.

I think he's just fine. Not for everyone, but what is?

How was the show? I'd love to see them again, after having seen Ely a few times solo since the last Flatlanders show here. Very nice. Great stories & excellent music. Ely told a story about driving across Texas many years ago & picking up a hitchiker who turned out to be Townes Van Zandt carrying a sackful of vinyl LPs.

Good for you.

Sounds like a Townes Van Zandt song. R.I.P.

Flatlanders

Get 'em out of "storage" & see what they are.

Of recent ones, I like Naturally on High Note with Walton, Drummond & Nash.

Now listening to Bye Bye Blackbird CD.

He did play with Paul Butterfield's band. and Little Milton, IIRC, v. early on. And in a different vein - Gil Evans. Also for those who are old enough to remember, he had a lot to do with the TV show Night Music.
