Browsing in Falmouth center on the morning of Justin and Maura's wedding day...

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.
