Oil Can Boyd

I don't think this is speaking out of turn but John posted on Instagram that his father passed away. He wrote: "Thoughts about our Dad, Avery Stirratt III, who passed peacefully Friday the 10th from cancer. A dedicated family man, and source of stability and unwavering optimism for his family and friends. Lifelong New Orleanian, he and my mother busting their humps with 5 kids, and after losing her in 92, jumping back into music and the instrument, and for the next 29 years playing weekly with his NO banjos +2, up until his last show March 8th. Their weekly shows at usually restaurant venue

Two of my faves.

Hardly Getting Over It sounds pretty good these days ...

Can't say that I blame your mother. I saw some good shows there (REM in '90, Dylan/Petty, Lou Reed, Radiohead) but getting in and out of there was a pain.

Mine was a few months after that one. Boston University in August of '85. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/rem/1985/walter-brown-arena-boston-ma-73d6facd.html Next time was November of '86. The Feelies opened and it was my first time seeing them. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/rem/1986/felt-forum-new-york-ny-1bd6f954.html

Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows - Songs of John Prine

Loved Fleabag, particularly season 2.

Interesting. I've read some sections while browsing in the bookstore and it didn't want to make me buy it.

I remember seeing them play Live Forever on Letterman and thinking how great it was.

Corey Harris. He also helped write the music for Hoodoo Voodoo.

Bill Janovitz (from Buffalo Tom)

I thought they were both from a reel-to-reel tape box ...
