Terry Sullivan is nothing like me. She is graceful,musical, delicate, intellectually serious, tough-minded, moral but never moralizing, good humored, but never over-the-top. She is 100% Woman,but no feminist. She is very easy on the eyes and reminds me of Audrey Hepburn and Jennifer Jones. We take long drives out of the city and into the rural beauty that is Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan....

At left: Mr Cyril is now 7 months old! Like everyone else in the USA, I am presently bustling, rustling, hustling... and trying to dig out from under mounds of email (as well as real-life junk mail), Mr Daisy's comics and kitty detritus, to prepare for the holiday week coming up. How is everything with you? I have decided to run for County Council, as I mentioned here . I figure it can't hurt. I know...

It's a great Hank Williams song. My favorite version is by the Notting Hillbillies, but that's because Mark Knopfler was in the Notting Hillbillies. He plays here with Tom Jones on the vocal, and that pairing works wonderfully, too.

His sixth full-length is rich and lush, teeming with layers of shimmering guitars, offbeat instruments like the crystal baschet and waterphone, and, of course, his velvet croon. It never ceases...

The rather wonderful Doug Sahm died ten years ago today. It's my prejudice that people who talk up the dreary playing on Together Through Life should do themselves the favour of listening to Doug Sahm & Band . It's so beautifully loose and alive, so full and generous spirited and fun. Anyway, here's Doug's entry in The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia: Sahm, Doug [1941 - 1999] Douglas Wayne Sahm was born...

This, the second three-disc set in a series, features recordings from the Mother's Best radio programs. In the early 1950s, Hank Williams could be heard performing every weekday morning on radio stations all across the southern United States. These 15-minute "morning shows" were pre-recorded in Nashville, initially broadcast on WSM (also home to the Grand Ole Opry radio programs) and sponsored...
