  1. Had my first Monterrey Melt in ages the other day at WB in Bastrop. Hot and juicy. I had forgotten how good they were.
  2. Sister-in-law, niece, and their husbands evacuated their Altadena home last night. Currently holed up in a hotel near the Rose Bowl. Hopefully they won't have to move on from there.
  3. Agreed, both then and now. I would not have paid to see the David Clayton-Thomas BS&T, maybe the Al Kooper version. Couldn’t miss a chance to see Miles live. BB and Nina were a bonus.
  4. One of my worst was also one of my best. 4th Longhorn Jazz Festival at Memorial Auditorium in July of 1969. Blood Sweat and Tears couldn’t find one of their nine matching microphones and held the audience hostage for an hour waiting for the guilty party to return it. I don’t know if it showed up, but the show finally resumed. Childish behavior from supposed professionals. Great performances from Miles Davis (whom we came to see), Nina Simone, and Hugh Masekela, but the night was soured by BB&T antics.
  5. Doubt I'll make it until it streams, but will watch for it. Any serious Dylan fans need to spend a day in Tulsa at the Bob Dylan Center. As a bonus, the Woody Guthrie Center is next door.
  6. I range all the way from cassette tape recording to burning CDs, but made my biggest killing on Usenet news groups.
  7. I am looking for a photo restoration software for Windows. I realize you get what you pay for, but preferably free or cheap, but not a subscription.
  8. Nope. Pleasant Mound (just north of Pleasant Grove) in Dallas County, before incorporation by Dallas. Circa 1953-54.
  9. Some did. But mine didn't have a compass in the stock.
  10. Maybe there's a reason they call it "going postal"?
  11. I remember when she was governor of Mississippi.
  12. I'm sure most if not all talk shows have a stable of guests who are somewhat local and can be called on should there be a last minute cancel or late arriving scheduled guest. So if they schedule Eddie Murphy but his plane is delayed or he has a family emergency or is just drunk, they can call up Teri Garr or Don Rickles or someone and keep the show going. I'm assuming this is why Jimmy Fallon seems to have a lot of SNL people on his show when they don't have a big movie coming out. For Colbert, it's Jon Stewart and John Oliver. Both in NYC and have weekly shows.
