I agree with many of the comments from folks here about
the hassels,jerky fans,ripoffs and the lameness of most current
touted talent as performers and the Golden Age Being over
ect.(I'm 51 yrs old). Here's my .02
Richard Thompson: He never ceases to amaze me. He just
seems to get better and his new album is his best
in years. Great Great Great.
Elvis Costello: Say what you want but I've never seen
EC and His band put on a less than excellent show.
Commitment, energy and a respect for the back catalog
while never pandering. 2hr + shows from guys who
ain't youngsters.
The San Francisco Jazz Collective: If you think
Jazz is dead these guys will tell you you're wrong.
A great repertory group featuring the talents
of Josh Redman, Bobby Hutcherson and Dave Douglas.
Breathing new life into the music of John Coltrane
,Ornette Coleman and their own as well.
Randy Newman: One man One piano and 40 yrs of great songs.
Plus laughs most standup comics wish they could get.
Rosanne Cash: Deep heartfelt songs, committed but not mawkish.
and very unshowbiz for a Gal from a showbiz family.
