<p>I loves me some Elvii. The boy wants to be <em>moved</em>. He wants to get <em>real-real gone</em> for a change.</p>

<p>Sun Sessions turns 60 years old this year. I've been listening to the collection heavily for the past several months, after my CD was borrowed-out last year and never returned/lost. I was sadly astonished that finding a replacement was difficult -- I had to go mail-order, as none of the record stores in three different cities I visited carried it in their inventory. (WTF??!!). The Sun Sessions is the "big bang" of rock, easily one of the most important recordings in the history of <em>any</em> form of music. I would have imagined it should be perpetually stocked in every self-respecting record store, but I was mistaken. </p>

The 20/20 experience. Not probably most here choice in music. <br><br>
However there are some bloody inventive tunes from Timberland and some very good vocals from Timberlake.<br><br>
As far as RnB goes it's about as good as mainstream gets. I'd taken my time to get to this and play both parts all the way through and I can report it was worth the wait. -

<p>Some Paco de Lucia, who died today.</p>

<p>Oh, man, I never heard that news, you broke it to me. I saw him a couple times a few decades back, once as a soloist, the other as part of the fabled acoustic trio with Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin. He was a master.</p> -
<p>Speaking of McLaughlin... just earlier today I was listening to Miles Davis "On the Corner," the most controversial record of his career. It is a difficult listen, but there is some genius. Black Satin has an especially deep funk groove with sitars, whistles and a hot wah-wah on trumpet. It's a strange ear-worm.</p>

<p>reaffirming my love for Dire Straits. This one is getting a fair working over at the moment</p>

<p>I hope you caught that Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy) tribute to the King I posted a page back. Mark Knopfler's wammy-bar is all over it, and he appears in that Top of the Pops video too. </p>

<p>Love watching the Big E play his guitar. (The boy can sing, too.)</p> -

<p>Boy there are some dryballs in that audience that just don't get it.</p> -
<p>I was listening to some Mingus last week, and was asked, "Is this Kenny G?"</p>
