We have until two-thirty this afternoon until we must be in our places at the Popponesset Inn, so we're up and about early. Breakfast of hash/eggs-over-easy at Betty's Diner, then a quick drive downtown. Could not resist a stop at
Spinnaker CD while The Reet wanders elsewhere. While perusing the bins, I was entertained by the Beatles'
Abbey Road (side two is one of the best ever!) and, for the first time since high school, by Little Stevie Wonder's
Fingertips, Parts I & II.
Picked up:
The Scene of the Crime (Bettye LaVette w/ Drive By Truckers) The knowledgeable young woman at the counter asked if I had caught an "awesome" performance by Ms. LaVette on a recent Austin City Limits. I told I had not, but must soon.
Son of Skip James (Dion) Loyal readers are familiar with my recent quest to see Mr. DiMucci at Mohegan Sun (see posting). This disc features a killer version of Chuck Berry's Nadine.
Uptown (Roy Eldridge w/ Gene Krupa Orchestra featuring Anita O'Day) Love Anita O'Day. Enough said.
The Best of Ken Burns Jazz- Per notes, "twenty of the greatest jazz songs ever recorded, personally selected by Ken Burns." Bought it anyway.
Justin and Maura rule the Popponesset Inn.
JohnnyK with two hot chicks at the wedding.
The Zelig-like JohnnyK peers around Judi 'N The Reet.
