In the BLVD brewery summer/spring catalogue there are some articles about rock and roll. The local music writer Tim Finn mentions The Embarrassment as Jump...

I certainly hope that I'm not overstepping my boundaries here, but is there anymore word on Bill's potential threat to musically slay Kansas this summer? If...
... OK OK ... Seriously? I been gone racin'. Playing lots of gigs here and there too. But mostly racin'. There ain't much like the smell of hot brake pads and...
that's WAY more interesting than what i've been doing. i've been performing my regular duties as layout monkey at work and that's about it. i wish i could be...
credible and/or popular now??? I'm talking, um, def leppard (wonder why that name came up?), journey, styx, all those sucky-butt bands that we loved to hate....
They are as legit as they ever were. You thought they sucked, I thought they sucked, a LOT of other people didn't. It's sad, but it's the truth. ... -- And now...

Yes,, I think it was of Bennett that Sinatra said, "He had the best "pipes" in the business" or was that Bobby Darin? Alzheimer's setting again,, just,, ...
I didn't mind Skynyrd in my high-school-before-I-discovered-KJHK days. I used to listen to Styx, too. Now I won't even download their classics for free from...
Mellotrons are cool, though I hear they were quite fragile as a road instrument. Other than a few effects you may get from analog tape and the retro-coolness ...
