I've been trying to see her for a year now.  Unfortunately, she seems to
play only near her home territory of the Northeast.  I heard a track on the
radio that she did of Zep's "Rock and Roll" with an all-star backing band
including Charlie Sexton and Jimmy Vaughan (Stevie Ray's brother) that was
just outstanding.  I thought "Finally, someone's picked up the flag Janis
dropped."  Still hoping to see her.  Same with Dick Dale, I need to see him
but he blankets California with dates but almost never makes it around here.

Gratifying and funny post.  There's a future for you in creative writing,

I'll be attending the hero's parade he'll be getting in the next two weeks
or so, like I did last year.  Perhaps interestingly to some, Jim Lehrer did
an interview tonight with a couple of biking experts (editor of Bicycling
magazine, e.g.). who said that he actually is a better cyclist due to the
cancer than he would have been otherwise.  They said losing all the weight
during chemo was like stripping a car down to its engine and its seat, then
reassembling it with premium parts.  He maintains a rigorous diet that
includes weighing all his food to monitor his calories and concentrates on
keeping lean and maximizing his power-to-weight ratio.  They said he
actually has become the equivalent of a genetic mutant due to the wasting
and rebuilding process he's been through.  I'd never heard of the guy
before he won the first TdF, but it's a heckuva story.  Now if he'd just
quit taping campaign commercials for local light rail, he'd be perfect :-).

Cheers,

Alan
