As If You Care...
This week I've been listening to my wife nag me to have the stairs refinished. And to paint the downstairs den. And rearrange the garage. And quit being such a moon calf. Oh yeah, and to The Adventures of Jet's "Coping With Insignificance". Interesting power pop with great singing (Hop Litzwire), playing and...get this...relevant, witty lyrics. These kids, I tell ya. Larry Carlton's "Firewire" is also in heavy rotation in the obsessive compulsive-mobile. Kick-ass production meets simple tasteful ginch. Don't hate him cause he's beautiful, OK? And finally, for those who are well grounded, know who they are and are comfortable with that; Tom Jones' "The Lead And How To Swing It". GRRRRRRR! Pappa likes. As per usual, ol Tom can take any song from any artist from any decade and any genre and do it better and more interestingly than the original. Don't believe me? Be prepared to be struck dumb, dim bulb. More later.

Of course we care, or we wouldna asked...
Did you have any trouble working through the technology?
I haven't listened to any Larry Carlton in, well...a long time. Don't know why, he's a monster player. Is this the one you'd buy if you were going to get a recent one? Have you heard the one he did with Robben Ford?
Last question first: No. I probably must find tho. Next to last question: Yes, either that or "Sapphire Blue". First question: Sorta, but I'm in and on...I think.
