Central Scrutinizer

She had quite a range, I wouldn't rule out "soul." It's a fine line ... I just loved Woodstock though. We went in the dead of winter -- late January. So we missed the tourists. Great restaurants, colorful (surpisingly not overwhelmingly liberal) people, a few definitely living off 60s residue. Had a great eclectic radio station there that sounded like it was out of Northern Exposure.

Alexis Suter is incredible. More a baritone blues signer. We got to talk with her after the show, she has some serious gospel roots. We bought one of her CDs. There was another opening band that was pretty nondescript, but she was, wow.

When I saw him, Amy did not sing and Campbell wasn't there that night -- guitarist from Conan O'brian's show was there and he rocked; they also have the octagenarian black harp player in bright primary-color suits do several numbers. It is a great ensemble feel. But I agree, he is getting stronger.

Why do you think he only does night games?

Believe it or not, Jacksonville, FL does not have a good, established, reliable, (brave, clean, reverent) independent music store. (That's one of the reasons it's known only as "the city Lynyrd Skynyrd is from). I would have rather plunked the money down to support something locally. One of the stores listed on the record store day site is no longer there, the other doesn't answer the phone, so I can only assume it's no longer there either. I finally got my notice it is to arrive via UPS Monday. At least I've got AGIB vinyl to make the wait doubly worth it.

:usa :usa

In some ways, I think it will raise the comments a notch. Madden the last few years would be a subject to death, and his asides weren't as fun as his earlier years. I anticipate Michales and Collinsworth having a ball together.

Just don't tell me how the DVD ends before I get a chance to watch it ...

They'll start the season 0-2. From there it's a cakewalk to 10-6.

I like Cris Collinsworth as much as I hate Bryant Gumbel. Seriously, I think Collinsworth is one of the smartest analysts on TV. I think NBC's studio team last year was lights-out best. It was NBC Game of the Week 70s baseball good. Jim McKay in anything good.

I attended a Midnight Ramble in Woodstock, N.Y. a year ago January. His voice does very well. He looks a bit frail but solid. If anything, it appeared his arms gave out before his voice did. He played the first part on mandolin, then moved to the drum kit (Which is set sideways at the front of the stage, facing the assembled musicians. At one point his arm cramped and one of the "handlers" came over and massaged it out, and he was back at it. At that show people there said it was the first time he'd played "The Weight" live in at least 15 years. I think he was singing, but everyone else was

So nobody participated in this that they can give some info about it?

O.K., those who have received it did you ... 1) Take advantage of the free shipping they offered? 2) Did it arrive standard mail or UPS? I hope I didn't screw myself up by ordering additional stuff along with the DVD.

Fixed it.

How soon before previous albums were released did they begin heavy rotation of new songs?

I don't know if "disappointed" is the word I'd use. "Intrigued" might be better, because they only played two the night before. It's a conscious choice not to play new stuff, perhaps, making me wonder why? Maybe I'm over "intrigued."

My connection died right in the middle of it! .750 AGIB An awesome slugging percentage

I think they heard you ...

... working on AGIB inside straight.

Silvio deserves respect enough!

I called MusicToday and the person said it was impossible, there was no way they could have shipped out DVDs already, they hadn't received them yet. But then she told me mine would ship today. ?!?!?

I saw three shows last year and 7 songs off your list were played.

I ordered mine about the same time and I haven't even gotten a notice that it's shipped. Jipped!

Of all of your birthdays, may this be one of them!

Actually, I think those are correct lyrics for the song on "William Shatner Sings Wilco."
