Music Wish List

Y'know, I'm kinda between jobs right now.

Oh, I have one (newly resurrected) now, but it's not what I'm after. It's just to pay the bills.

My point (and I do have one) is that this is a "pay the bills while you keep looking" job, even if the money is halfway decent.

This is why I reall, Really, REALLY resent Dean Esmay. The man is a sick, twisted, sadistic SOB without the slightest tinge of mercy in his makeup.

Why do I say this? Because he has, for the 147th time (by my careful count) made me wish I could afford another great CD.

DAMN him, anyway! Otis Rush, John Lee Hooker, Matt "Guitar" Murphy, and Junior Wells all on the same stage!? Just twist the knife, why don't you?...

Oh, well, at least the Allman Brothers aren't there. :) A note to those who care: if you can; do not walk, RUN to the nearest recording of Wilson Pickett performing Hey, Jude, with guitar lead by a certain Duane A.

Envy me, mortal.

These recordings rock, Casey. You have to be a serious blues fan, but if you are, damn they're just dynamite.

You don't have as much reason to envy me. I prefer to buy mutual funds rather than CDs, but I just picked up the second of what were in fact DVDs from the set Dean mentioned from the awesome Milwaukee library. Poke around their catalog a bit and see what riches I have available to me. For a real shock, search on keyword "Zizka" and see how old a book I have checked out from the collection.
