    Our own vintage town

    My Two Cents Thanks Wild Root for the compliment earlier (and I still dig Stardust Falls - Hoagy would be smiling). Having said that, I thought I might put out a name myself. It doesn't really point to anything or anyone in particular so it might, in turn, appeal to many: Ammonsfield I...

    I’ve been reading some great comments from everyone here regarding the music. I wanted to let you know about two recent acquisitions to my library that I highly recommend. Kenny Burrell’s “Soul Call” (Prestige) Harold Land Sextet “West Coast Blues” (Fantasy-Dist.) Both albums...
