Okay, now WHO can keep a secret?

Man, Sterling, that was a tough one - and I've been known to keep a secret or two.

Now I'm twice as motivated. You know what I can't wait to ask Tony about?

Jules Shear. How's THAT for obscure?

I liked the Polar Bears (and the Bob Nyswonger Bears, the guy from Ohio you met at NAMM a few days back), but I really think that Jules put out two (maybe three) really fabulous and relatively unknown Great American albums, and Tony played on those records. You probably know this if you toss out "polar bears" but for those who don't, go now to your local music emporium and buy:

The Great Puzzle

and

Healing Bones


Both by Jules Shear, both feature Mr Levin on bass - and you will be surprised.

+1 from me too. TL is the man. Darn this pesky job business but I might have to keep working for a while yet (see order up thread).

Enjoy the word of wisdom you will all learn :)

+100 to Lefty and Dave

Oh :( I'd like a DVD AND live video streaming :)

I'm so disappointed that I can't quite find the words to express myself...

BP!

TL is turning up, it couldn't get any better.

Please consider air fare sponsorship for all non US based formites who are currently really depressed :)

I wouldn't mind spending a weekend tasting whisky and smoking cigars! But that's probably not what you'll be doing there, is it.

To say I am looking forward to it is an understatment.
